Ever been next to a supercar at a traffic light while seated in your hot hatch? You know he's going to smoke you if you try but sometimes, you do it just for fun, you know the rich man and his ego will almost never let you pass. However, the tables may just change in a twisty public road where power doesn't really matter and responsible driving is the only rule, just keeping up with a million dollar supercar in a machine less than a third of that is a feat by itself. And very very satisfying. So which is better? Autocar UK got down to the bottom of this and pitted a supercar in the form of a Audi R8 against a hot hatch represented here by a Euro Civic Type R Mugen. And the winner is, you guessed it.
