"AMSTERDAM -
VIDEO - Een grootheid die wordt uitgedaagd door een volksjongen in trainingspak. VIDEO - A celebrity who is challenged by a popular boy in tracksuit. Maakt deze 230 pk sterke Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance enige schijn van kans tegen de afgetrainde Audi R8 Plus met zijn luide V10 en 550 pk? This makes 230 hp Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance any chance against the well-trained Audi R8 Plus with his loud V10 and 550 hp? Het tweetal duelleert op de bochtige bergwegen in de Dolomieten. The two duel on the winding mountain roads in the Dolomites."


Ridiculous really, no contest obviously when placed side by side on a sheet but on mountain roads it seems these guys want to compare - anyone speak Dutch?!  :wink: Did get one little bit where guy it seemed was bemoaning lack of handbrake

Still all that aside cool video to see 2 great cars in procession.

Those Audi indicators that sweep on and off at 2:26 are superb.
Wee things like this make a big difference.

Can highly recommend a visit.
