The classic car-versus-motorcycle comparison is put to the test as Autocar pits a 2013 Audi R8 V10 (http://www.autoblog.com/audi/r8/) against the Ducati Diavel (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ducati+diavel/) in a run from 0-150-0 miles per hour. While you might expect the 162-horsepower Ducati (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ducati/) weighing just 515 pounds to blow away the 542-horse, 3,500-pound Audi (http://www.autoblog.com/audi/), this particular test measures the acceleration and braking of both high-performance machines.

Drag racing an Audi R8 against a Ducati on a long, flat stretch of concrete sounds fun to us, and Autocar documented the whole test for our viewing pleasure. We don't want to spoil the fun for you, so let's just say that a Volkswagen (http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/)-owned brand wins.
