We tested the new Audi R8 V10 Plus on the autobahn. Great power, gearbox and the ceramic brakes are amazing! Hitting a topspeed of 333 km/u - more than 205 mph
When driving on the autobahn you always have that experience like WTF. Even when you are driving at top speed. Somebody will always signal you with their lights when checking the mirror to say: make way and go right
fractalzoomgoggles The only point of your comment was to suggest that driving the car like this is bad for it, when in fact it isn't. It's overengineered to the point where the oil temp won't go one degree up when driving it like this over just cruising in town.
its located in germany, the R8 has a dutch licence plate and the speed limit on a german autobahn varies from 80km/h up to no limit and on construction sites from 40km/h to 100km/h. the actual sections on a german autobahn to have no limit is below 20%. hope that helped.
Yes they are. Even though I'm not German, I did work in Germany and I drove many thousands of kilometres on the Autobahn. I don't think I've ever seen someone going this fast. Most people drive around 160-180 km/h, and some people drive up to around 250 km/h. But there is always stau or baustelle, so it's hard to maintain that speed.
correct. I live in Holland and drive on autobahn occassionally. 160-180 is common on most part. But 333km/h is very rare. Sometimes a audi or bmw passes with 200+. In Germany when passing on left lane always double check the mirror for the incomming cars speed. Especially when driving with a caravan which i did a few times to austria. You drive about 90 Km/h and cars comming by at 200+. Insane sometimes. But the Germans are one of the best drivers. They hold there speed when there is a limit say at a baustelle, but when the sign appears " end of all speed and passing limits" speeds up. but you always have to put 100% attention to driving. I once had a near death experience at the autobahn. I live 5 miles from the german border and worked in the north of Holland. The fastest way was through germany. I had a lease VW Golf SDI at that time which is the slowest VW Golf. Top speed was about 168 km/h. I was driving home from work and drove about 160 km/h . A German was driving about 80 km/h in front of me. i was listening to the radio or checked my mobile. I wasn't paying attention. I saw him just in time to pass him. You must understand i had also checked my mirror. Just passed im time. Very scary moment. But still i find it very pleasant to drive in germany. The autobahn is build for speed. When i go on vacation (normally austria/italy) i always have to go through germany. I leave at night on a sunday (no trucks allowed on sunday) at about 03:00 and have to drive about 800 km through germany. I can drive hours at 180 km/h. Very pleasant. What like atilla840702 says. It is very hard to maintain a top speed. So far my experience at the german autobahn.
christian kane the diferince* betweed Germany and the netherlands is: ppl is Germany have good cars but don't show off. While the ppl in the netherlands got bad cars and show off😂
In the EU people have to ride on the right lane unless they are overtaking, otherwise you get fined (of caught obviously like anything else) and lose license points (where applicable). Doesn't mean people do that all the time in every country and every road, just like every law or rule, people break them, but you do see it more in these roads where people know there might be a guy coming at 300 km/h.
It always does, but with that amount of power even 5 passengers would make a difference of something like 1-2 kmh for vmax, so it's marginal. Mass for vmax only matters in very low hp cars.
Very irrelevant. Weight of a car is NOT affecting the max speed (but the acceleration). Having one more passenger will take more time to reach the max speed (with 600HP it will be negligible anyway) but wait few seconds more and the max speed will be the same at the end. What's affecting the max speed is essentially the aerodynamic of the vehicle. Also the friction of the tires to a much lesser extent... (theoretically, adding one more passenger will affect the friction, but that's too marginal to be considered).
actually audi had some problems with power output in the past. the N/A engines often had not the power as written on the paper. The RS4 b7 for example had this issue. Turbocharged engines sometimes deliver more power than they should. we upgraded the software of a BMW 1M Coupe (N54 Engine) and it had 357hp instead of 340hp it should have.
From the engine to the wheels there is always 10 to 15 % power loss But here this is break horse power and i don't know what's the percentage of the loss ? Sure it's much less
Naklar bei 330 km/h fährt man mit einer Hand und raucht eine Zigarette. Was mich an dem Video stört ist, er fährt mit 330 auf einer zweispurigen Autobahn, wenn man schon so schnell fahren möchte dann doch bitte auf einer dreispurigen. Da kann man auch als normal Fahrender mit 200 Km/h noch Platz machen. Ist meine Meinung dazu.
ja nun... bis auf die Tatsache das er diese Geschwindigkeiten auf nur zweispurige Autobahnen fährt und mit einem Affen Tempo an andere vorbei rauscht. Zwar ist das erlaubt aber stammt von eine Zeit wo es solche erheblichen Tempo Deltas nicht gab. Also ich mache sowas nur auf 3 Spurige Autobahnen die ich in und auswendig kenne und wo fast kein Verkehr ist. Brauchst nur einen Ausländer zu haben der Mal ausschert (solche Deltas noch nie erlebt hat) und die volle Wucht der Gesetze der Physik greifen kaltblütig zu. Das war’s dann... für beide. Bin für 'ne Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung von ca. 160 auf nur zweispurige Bahnen.
TheLMMish I would think that once you are above 300kph, you would here wind in almost any car considering it is only glass between you and the outside, but I understand your point, I'm broke too :(
Megablademe Germany for one is filled with speed limits... I don't know where you guys get the assumption that its limitless. The autobahn is highly restricted for speed in a ton of areas. Tell you what, blow through a speed camera or speed past the polizei and you'll be pulled over/receiving your ticket in the mail within 30 days. Just speaking from experience.
Nuts. I once drove 240 km/h in Germany, and I was getting sweaty palms. This looks mental. I mean, just look at the speed difference in relation to the cars in the right lane.
Hello there! I have just seen your video and i have to say that it was an awesome video, the grip on the r8 is amazing, no wonder QUATTRO is the best in the industry "imho" all hail the NA v10!
Arda Turan Letting the engine run in neutral after having driven that fast is not too good for the engine either. Best thing to do is drive at normal speeds to keep air flowing through the water cooler to get water temp down. By stopping the water and the engine may overheat aswell.
Can I rent one of these from Hetz in Germany for a few days? I miss the thrill of the Autobahn. I was rolling about 150 mph on Autobahn 8 near Munich. Got passed by a Lambo one night, he had to be going over 200 and fire was shooting out of the exhaust.
Hi Ness, I prefer the R8, it feels lighter, the gearbox is a more high tech and the ceramic brakes are amazing! Ceramic brakes would be really good on the GT-R on those kind of speeds, since its a kinda heavy car. On the other side, the R8 is also a lot more expensive, in the Netherlands almost twice the stickerprice.
I have this car and sometimes you hit the gas and think fuck me, let's go, it's a super car and it's slow. But when you drive it properly- you hit those rev counter of 6-plus k, then this thing really fucking goes. I'm used to turbo, but this being naturally aspirated is a whole new learning curve.
The autobahn is one of those things that I’m like “why on earth does this exist” but deep down in me, I’m saying “this is the greatest place on earth...”
This is freedom dear Americans
what fucking freedom? what high taxes? are you under control of another country? huh?!
@@matija4256 US is basically controlled by Russia.
People passing by where like "wtf was that!" :D
When driving on the autobahn you always have that experience like WTF. Even when you are driving at top speed. Somebody will always signal you with their lights when checking the mirror to say: make way and go right

I love german autobahn
Dutch*
Speed limit mosly on dutch authobans is 120 or sometimes 130
Germany is like 200 lol
its located in germany, the R8 has a dutch licence plate and the speed limit on a german autobahn varies from 80km/h up to no limit and on construction sites from 40km/h to 100km/h. the actual sections on a german autobahn to have no limit is below 20%. hope that helped.
And I love you
imagine driving there and a R8 passes by with 333km/h 😯😂
300km/h+ overtakes arent even so unusual in germany
Yes they are. Even though I'm not German, I did work in Germany and I drove many thousands of kilometres on the Autobahn. I don't think I've ever seen someone going this fast. Most people drive around 160-180 km/h, and some people drive up to around 250 km/h. But there is always stau or baustelle, so it's hard to maintain that speed.
Not that uncommon tbh. XD Zoooommmmmmm!

Don't discriminate against Mercedes. I passed at 220 kph today in one on the autobahn. :P
I love that people move out of the way
Mohamed Hussein its called courteous driving
Drivers in germany are required to drive on the rightmost lane of the Autobahn, unless they are in the process of overtaking slower vehicles.
christian kane the diferince* betweed Germany and the netherlands is: ppl is Germany have good cars but don't show off. While the ppl in the netherlands got bad cars and show off😂

That is the german way. As a dutch i love it. Make way for people who driver faster.
333km even with two passenger ... !!!
what mainly makes vmax is horsepower, mass is mainly for acceleration, but agreed
V8 monster the mass of the car doesnt matter for top speed
It always does, but with that amount of power even 5 passengers would make a difference of something like 1-2 kmh for vmax, so it's marginal. Mass for vmax only matters in very low hp cars.
Microage it's V10
Very irrelevant. Weight of a car is NOT affecting the max speed (but the acceleration).

(theoretically, adding one more passenger will affect the friction, but that's too marginal to be considered).
Those 610 horses sure do deliver 610 horses.
philip s audi likes to underrate their cars,so it probably has more than that
actually audi had some problems with power output in the past. the N/A engines often had not the power as written on the paper. The RS4 b7 for example had this issue. Turbocharged engines sometimes deliver more power than they should. we upgraded the software of a BMW 1M Coupe (N54 Engine) and it had 357hp instead of 340hp it should have.
but i think it shouldn't be an issue anymore these days... :D hope so
From the engine to the wheels there is always 10 to 15 % power loss
But here this is break horse power and i don't know what's the percentage of the loss ?
Sure it's much less
The car around 4:20 got passed at 333kmh, must've been crazy seeing that lol
TwoTacosForPaco he probably saw that car for like 0.3 seconds and it was a blurr, probably wont forget that for a while.
that wind effect must be scary
A ferarri 458 passed us with 300 it was the best fucking experience
))(
He was going really slow, when u go like 150/180/200 it doesnt look so scary. Just someones passing u.
5:29 Try to imagine that drivers reaction lol wth
He's talking about the drivers of the vehicles the the Audi is passing. Imagine being in one of those cars and seeing the Audi fly by at that speed...
MonkeyHero000 yes ok I thought he was talking about the POV driver
Kachow
Nothing new lol
Try to imagine if that driver decided to start overtaking
Fucking oh some. Regards from a foreign contry.

6:00 lol that 220 kph looks so peaceful suddenly after 330 ;-)
Since it is 1.5 times slower 😄
Cruzing at 200km/h the care is silent and does not move...what a machine!
I would never buy this car cause it has wind noise at above 300km/h. Also, I am broke af.
TheLMMish I would think that once you are above 300kph, you would here wind in almost any car considering it is only glass between you and the outside, but I understand your point, I'm broke too :(
I love this damn engine. And it's naturally aspirated as well! So much power just what's needed for the Autobahn.
I think I shat myself
Only two lanes. That was pretty dangerous. But I liked it. Thumbs up
Most German speedways have only two lanes. I think for speeding it's safer because it's easier to overview and predict the other drivers behavior.
going 300 km/h and uses his blinker lol
TheCodejuice an act of good driving perhaps :p
There is no speed limit there he didn’t break Any laws
Megablademe Germany for one is filled with speed limits... I don't know where you guys get the assumption that its limitless. The autobahn is highly restricted for speed in a ton of areas. Tell you what, blow through a speed camera or speed past the polizei and you'll be pulled over/receiving your ticket in the mail within 30 days. Just speaking from experience.

so noisy compared to the Nissan GTR :( Fast and cool for sure :)
Am i the only one who is imagining driving there while this guy is overtaking you?
amazing!!!
hugs from brazil, bro!!
Never stop the engine that quik after driven 333km/h. You have to put the gear in neutral and let the engine roll on neutral for like 10/15 minutes.
I've responded to a similar comment somewhere below ;)
Arda Turan Letting the engine run in neutral after having driven that fast is not too good for the engine either. Best thing to do is drive at normal speeds to keep air flowing through the water cooler to get water temp down. By stopping the water and the engine may overheat aswell.
is this in regards to cooling?
Even with a naturally aspirated engine?
Jean V Yeah of course!
That‘s why I‘m always on the right lane doing 250kph 😁

if they were abulances like this car nobody would die
Are you insane? The road seems to be wet
Wowww
Safe driver from what I can see... Nice vid.
You can hear quite a bit of wind noise when he reaches over 300km/h. I was expecting more from an Audi.
spndrp But think of the amount of air pressure on the car, and the amount of drag being created. I'm not surprised....
170 feels like nothing after 300😂
