The R8 is so underpowered and so overweight, that is about the only way you could get it to do a doughnut... on a wet icy road

The point is related with performance!
If you lose rubber and fuel the car will be lighter!!!
Just jocking, because i don't see any point of doing that...

Ice or smooth tyres..

The R8 struggles to get out of its own way - I heard a Boxster S would drill the R8 so bad, the driver would have to pullo ver to powder their nose and adjust their bra..

yay R8! It almost looked like a rwd car in those videos. I wonder if it ever gives the front wheels enough of the torque to do sit and spins like people do in STI's.

I do like the look of the R8 but would prefer a 350Z over one every time. Looked like fun though whatever you say

no, its the way the viscious center diff applies torque to the freer spinning wheels as also used on the Gallardo.... and likely on the RS4
