The Audi 2.0T did better than the RX-8 at the hands of the Stig though.

Sam Hubinette is a drifter FWIW.

So two tests, one showing the 8 being faster and the other (C&D) showing the TT being faster...

Either way, the 8 was preferred in either, but that said, the new TT is leaps and bounds better than the old one.

In all likelihood, the 2.0T Top Gear test was the coupe which is lighter than the convertible model. So who knows how a coupe version might have done against the RX-8 in the Torque TV review.

Ah, good point.

So that means the FWD TT mkII with 201hp was better than the mighty 333hp M3 then eh? :)

It looks like it was 1:31.4 vs 131.8.
