That's an interesting one.... Obviously they're at opposite ends of the spectrum but it is interesting to think about how and what makes them different and perhaps more importantly what makes both of them fun from a driving perspective. The 205 is completely unfiltered, you are and feel in direct control of everything, you can feel the lack of mass as soon as you pull away and it puts a smile on your face at any speed. With the R8 V10, the entire experience is dominated by that engine, you don't feel as much through your fingers, but this is probably a good thing! You need the composure and sure-footed nature of the incredibly stiff and modern chassis, to makes 0-60 in 3/3.2 secs safe and achievable! The R8 was and is way more emotional than I had expected, purely because of the naturally aspirated orchestra behind your ears, whereas the 205 delights you in it's communication and connection between the driver and the machine. On the public road the R8 V10 is ultimately too fast to really experience what the car is capable of, but with the 205 it's at home down a quiet back road. Both offer plenty of fun and enjoyment and are great examples of just how broad the spectrum of drivers cars really are. Thanks for watching!

As an owner of a 205 xs I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on how the pug and this beast compares! Great video as always
