Default Lambo Gallardo vs. RS8 Focus (motortrend)
An extremely weird match up but very interesting.

Two very different cars, but an interesting comparison.
Thanks.

Think evo compared the regular Focus RS with a murcielago... turned out quite even

That Focus RS8 is MAD! Almost same performance as the gallardo and still beat it 4 folds in terms of cargo capacity

Thanks for the scans mit5005

Wicked fight indeed! of course nobody given the money to pay for running costs would consider the RS8 over the Gallardo, but it's mighty effective! And of course kinda sleeper, especially with RWD disguised into a car everybody see as FWD

One of my friend's dad actually did this conversion but with a GT40 302 ci crate motor. It has a nice paint job and everything but the performance does not compare with this one.
