Audi A8 W12 6.0 Top Speed 295km/h
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2025
- This is a software upgraded W12 12 cylinder 6.0 liter (366Cubic inches) engine at around 500hp. The run was done on a professionally monitored speedway. The speedometer went beyond the marked area, but would most definitely show about 320km/h. You can compare the speedometer numbers with the GPS numbers - the GPS is precise. The max speed should be around 300km/h (188mp/h)on high octane gas, this run was done on regular gas.
I remember the criteria for the W12 phaeton, which is similar to the Audi. It was required to do 300kph cruise with an outside temperature of 2C. Interestingly there was no criteria for fuel consumption, because it would probably exceed 100l/100km in those conditions!
Phaeton came out after the a8w12. Phaeton was also smaller than the a8lw12. Lighter as well and some differences in motor internals .. drove both. When they were new. Having friends that handled the press fleet for the ag group locally.
@@carlosoruna7174 Wow must be nice.
Helmet on the freeway lol.
Hes using it to hold the camera ... sometimes is nice to use the fucking brain
Pipe M. Sandí Ya it is you should try it sometime, you cant spell or properly put a sentence together yet your talking shit. What a fucking idiot! LOL
you're*
Hakan Aktaş ? No one even said it you just spell corrected nothing lol.
Brian Heiden are you sure mate? "... yet *your* talking shit. What a fucking idiot! LOL"
The helmet and gloves just really are too much haha!
Hahaha the most retarded about this video is that he is only wearing his right glove to show off for the camera! He isn´t wearing a glove on his left hand, you can see at 0:14 when he is tapping his iPhone xD
breaktoby If you keep watching the video, you can see that he put his left glove back on 0:22
breaktoby He took it off so he could tap it, Iphones don't work with gloves on.
All for driving in a straight line as well 😂
Maybe in motorbike
nicely done video with dualcam and GPS and what a fantastic car!
In Europe you can indeed find some A8 with W12 of first generation (before 2002) with total kms below 200.000 for 7-10kEUR. Those values are realistic.
@stoneeh the "shitty " suspension is an original Audi sport suspension that was selected when purchased new, same as 5.0 FSI S8. It has 285/45 20 inch wheels on it.
That shaking at the end, it seems the car is going to disassemble
Helmet? Are you fucking serious?
Just because he's not on a racetrack doesn't mean he can't crash.
Jacob Baird At those speeds he's already dead if he crash. Thus why there is no need for helmet.
So NASCAR drivers and F1 drivers shouldn't wear helmets, either?
It's a public road dude. Most cars today can exceed 200kmh, so why don't we all wear helmets while driving?
Jacob Baird NASCAR Drivers and F1 Drivers wear Helmets because its a RULE they are not giving for granted it will save lives.. Also I'm pretty sure life insurance companies would not be happy if you expose your life more than its needed while being a Pilot.
tavi921 In Auto Cross you must wear helmet as a rule and you probably never exceed 80mph (140kph).
to everyone that says it is a fake: look at the car ratling and shaking .. an A8 does not rattle like that when you drive 230. Has to be well over the max of 250 .. maybe the cam has a low rate of images and it looks that slow.
Wow... i like the way the speedometer passed the last number
To all the doubters: The video is 100% real and the speed REALLY reaches up to 295 kph = 183 mph. Checked it against the half-kilometer markers etc. The reason why it LOOKS much slower is JUST that the view of the camera is ZOOMED. But as I say, the car really does 0.5 km in just over 6 seconds here, precisely as it should (6.00 would be 300 kph = 186 mph). I suggest the driver does crazy stuff like this WITHOUT TRAFFIC. I have some negative personal experience to support that recommendation...
looks like a fake ... does all the other cars runs over 200 km/h ? the audi dont run much much faster than other people on the highway. 2:39 it takes 12 sec for 1 km = 5km for 1 min = 300 km for 1 hour. that is ok but when you look the stripes on the road, that dont pass enough fast
Ty vole to se ti to valí co na Plzeň z kopečka, ale taky bych v tom chtěl sedět.. W12!!
why does it always look so slow on videos?
+7r4iL3r because of the focus, the focal length. If you are zooming in a lot, even 500km/h will look rather slow. If you have a go pro with a preset "make it look fast" focus, this video would look much faster.
vindicator2008 ok thanks for the info
other reason is you dont feel the force car create while accelerating
Raoul Duke Because he actually doing about 85-90 as slow as he’s passing vehicles including big trucks.
I love my W12 I still haven't changed my name since I got it
I love the idea of the W12
Audi designer man 1: hmmm all our competitors have made 12 cylinder engines
But we are too lazy to make a new one what do we do
Audi designer 89: how about we do what everybody else is doing and just use a s
V12?
Head Audi designer(Audi designer 1) no! We need to be different
Audi designer 7: hmm let's use a 6.0 v12 diesel like in the q7
Head Audi designer: no it has to be special
Audi designer 18637237273: we could use a
Head Audi designer: No you are dumb
Audi designer 69: WE COULD SUPER GLUE TOGETHER 2 VR6 ENGINES TOGETHER!
head Audi designer: OMG THATS GENIUS YOU HAVE BEEN SO SMART EVERY SINGLE CAR We've MADE YOU GET A PROMOTION THATS WHY WE HAVE YOU!
It's so quiet... I love it
And Death is sitting in the back seat with a big grin on his face....
Nah he got a helmet
Probably laid back pretty comfortable, also.
We're the love generation!! Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!
at nearly 185mph, I'd expect you to pass the truck (2.28) and other vehicles a lot faster than your video shows
Cameras/lenses can make "stuff" look different, though yes as you say 185mph you'd be "passing EVERYONE" apart from other folk out to give their car a good thrapping.
It's because of the focal length of the lens. Telephoto lenses make everything look slower than wide angle lenses.
You can see how fast this is by the lines on the road. In Germany I believe they are longer so you can see them really fly by here as opposed to say granny whizzing along at 200Km /h on her way to church.
I'm curious what speed those other cars are doing, I mean I've gone 260kmh on a motorbike and passed cars going 100kmph and I went past way quicker than that
Nice going your Audi
nice acceleration
uszlachetniacze - tests and opinions
@boostGTRdu67 yeah yeah the quatro is not needed when the engine is not half a mile in front of the axle like it is in the audi
Toll!
Thanks for sharing.
@iasr921023ch6 The camera is zoomed in so it reduced the feel of speed.
Holy shit A8 is awesome
what is the music first of video.please i don´t speak english
This guy is fucking serious. With the helmet and Gloves, this guy more than just expected to crash this thing
You can see Test Drive Unlimited - Audi A8 W12.
Test Drive Unlimited Audi A8 6.0 W12 Quattro
Moves nicely man!!! Love the W12 engine!
That thing steady climbs
NIce, but helmet on D5 from Prague to Pilsen? :D Jinak dobrý video, pobavilo...výkon krásnej, jen ta česká dálnice a parta debilů co blokujou levej, to je prostě na testování max speed naprd :)
Ano, protože v Čechách všichni jezdí hlavně vlevo, když jsou ostatní pruhy volné...co dělal autor videa?Jel na prakticky prázdné dálnici přes limit...a všichni se zblázníme, je to vrah a pirát, samozřejmě...větší ohrožení bych viděl od jinejch řidičů, pokud se tak dají nazvat, stačí se rozhlédnout...
why iphone compass you can"t see in which gear it is
Great video, but next time do it without zooming, so idiots can see that it does 295km/h.
Abdigan haha 😅
True
i like how you drive
.....
nice car
what song are you listening in your iphone at 3.05 it reminds of a song that i used to know
linkin park ist das aber frage mich nicht welches lied... kenn ich aber vom meteora album!
Carpcontrol
nix lp. das ist crazytown- butterfly
stimmt ^^ ka was mich da geritten hat
Why was your iTouch (or whatever) useful to ?...
Oh my God!
I love this car
does it feel stable at 300? a bit dangerous. i would go up to 250 but not 300. i think the car is engineered to cruise at 250 but at 300 it might damage the tyres. interestingly the rpm is only 70000 not even redline yet lol
Fantastic. Best regards
Thanks :)
perfect video,perfect car
@Bruniastys if you saw a guy going 320 km/h long enough to determine wether he was wearing a helmet or not i would be impressed that your toyota carolla could keep up
@vindicator2008 are those wheels standard on this car? only thing i'll say is "unsprung weight". plus it's a lot more mass to accelerate and decelerate. standard suspension is always good because car makers put a lot more effort into testing than those aftermarket suppliers, but i must say i havent ever heard any praise about those audi sport suspensions that you can order as an option. well, still a very nice car obviously, i dont deny that ;)
No need to mention this is the definition of false/counterfiting.
1:E-limiter of the A8 is damn hard to get out of pass by & that limits it to 250 as we know
2:The speed is all wrong.You're aproaching "normal" cars and barely passing them with 160 km/h difference ? Who're you kidding ?
3:From 3:08 the odometer (or whatever ) the one with counts the recent done distance,show 100 m done in 3 seconds,wich translates into 120 km/h thats why you slowed down so little before passing other cars
@puky1103 1st: The A3 is about 200kph fast when you are taking a closer look at the video and thats not impossible, depending on the engine ...
2nd: the "navi" always needs a few seconds to get the real speed, a speedo always has a tolerance to show more speed than the car really drives
and YES, you shouldn't post comments without thinking a minute ;-)
It's the Stig!
Road to Plzen - I always step on gas here.
Bob Sinclair - Love Generation + 295 == RELAXXXXXXX
@vindicator2008 How many km the Audi has now?
For some reason it doesn’t look like he’s going but about 85-90 as slow as things are going past.
I think the same
this is not in germany, it's highway from Prague to Pilsen in Czech republic.
What is the music's name?
Two things we need here are a Motorcyclist-eye-view of the speedo, and a big compass. Perfect. Yawn....
@selfasidedrummer aw, sorry to hear that. no, i have gone "only" 150mph in a street car, not 185mph. and i have several videos in my channel where i go ~120mph, while you have no videos uploaded at all and we will surely take your word for it that you're a supercar test driver (which pretty much every second guy is on these car videos)
i can certainly tell you that my car is just as well behaved at 150mph as it is at 100, and i have heard no car tester ever state what you said
Yeah your car is just great . I wish i'll have it one day
It isn't easy to judge the speed coming after your car. Therefore, when they think it is safe distance to make a pass, they just do that. The situation inside the video is a curve so that makes it even more difficult to judge.
Please tell me the music in the background video.
love generation- bob sinclair
Fangio lopez Thank you very much!
no prob!
@LudiKajmak ??? you've never driven a car. You can see at the rpm that he is really going 295. The Camera is zoomed in so its looks like its slow but it isnt.
U CENSORED A MIDDLE IF THE SCREEN WITH UR iPHONE? :D
it seems to me that the speed of the meter does not coincide with the image of the camera look you like the film slowly as the speed approaches such as truck and how slowly it goes or how slowly passes the building on the left side you can also see the characters as they slowly it goes and what the other vehicles in the video it looks as if they also have ok200kmh and looking for a truck that she can go 90 he should overtake it as soon as no one passed us by, eg standing sign przy200kmh
A VW 1.4 Passat is able to go 204 kph. So what about a Audi A8 6.0 with 12 cylinders and 500 hp?
@stoneeh You obviously have never gone 185+ mph on a street car before... I don't care what kind of suspension you have on a car, if you're going over 100 mph, the ride dynamics change dramatically. I drove Ferraris and Lamborghinis as a job and I can tell you that even their magnetic adaptive suspension systems get shaky around 145 mph. Make sure you know what you're talking about before you dog someone's 130,000 dollar car. Have some class. Beautiful car man. I love Audi.
The pointer crossed the meter!!!!
Autobahn it is.
on speedpmeter is 300km/h but this on front shield (i think GPS ) is 260km/h what a difference :D
@ChiquitaRhB Jj, očividně... Řidiči dávám palec nahoru a klobouk dolů, českou dálnici projíždím kolem cca 200 kmh, protože to se ještě dá, ale tohle chtělo notnou dávku odvahy...
Is this car limited to this speed? i feel like it should go faster considering my 04.5 gli will hit 140 mph (225kph) with less than 1/3 of the engine size
+hitfan01 You do realize that if you go waster there is more wind etc etc slowing you down?
+hitfan01 Because wind resistance is increasing. If you have a car that will make 64 mph but you want to go 128 mph you will need 4 times more power than the 64 mph car has. Doubling the speed means quadruppling (written like that? LOL) the wind friction. Thats why it takes so much more power to go faster. Take a look at the Bugatti Veyron. It tops out at 255 mph or 407 km/h and it has 1000 hp. The supersport goes 431 km/h and it needs 200 hp more to achieve that :)
u kept flashing ur high beam huhh lol. Do you have a laser jammer?
zdaje mi się że prędkość z licznika nie pokrywa się z obrazem kamery przypatrzcie się jak na filmie powoli jak na tą prędkość zbliża się np do ciężarówek i jak powoli je mija lub jak powoli mija budynek z lewej strony można to również zauważyć przy znakach jak powoli je mija a co do innych pojazdów to wygląda na filmie tak jak by one również miały ok200kmh a patrząc na ciężarówkę to ona może jechać 90 to on ją powinien wyprzedzić tak szybko jak nie jeden z nas minął by np stojący znak przy200kmh
The autobahn, maybe not the safest, but most defiantly the fastest way to get to work by car.
so if i want my a8 W12 to have more power i have to put a turbo
to tak wszelki wypadek zakładamy aby się nie znaleść w trumnie jutro :) pozdrawiam kierowców ze smykałką sportową. nie tych co kierują po alkoholu :D
Dude, is a A8, my A6 3.0 TDI Quattro, the max speed is 240 with limitator, but without limitator is 260, test by me :*
That thing is gonna rattle itself to bits, careful.
helmet, gloves, shittie iphone, that backgroundmusic and some crappy driving-skills... omg.. :D
Haha yeah, what a douchebag haha.. Just shows money doesnt make you cool.
I think it's not even iPhone but iPod lol
it may be an iPod but what do you drive? A W12 A8 too? ;)
Who says its his car?
Who says its not?
same car that was in transporter, nice!
No speed limit! What is this place? Everyone seems to floor it.
While this may be true, the engine is N/A, no turbos. And second the car used weighs... a lot. A lot to say the least. And the engine is limited by the gearing in the transmission.
tak tomu se říkaj pevné nervy.. :D jet na českých silnicích cca 290 (i chvilkově) to je celkem odvaha :D
Presne. :)
@mazdapremacy97 yeah, but when I'm talking about quattro is for snow, cause when toy live in Quebec or north of Europe is hard without 4x4... Now it depends where you live, cause if you live in California mercedes is a good buisness :)
on topspeed he passes two guide posts in about one second! (50m distance between each of them) -> equates to 360 km/h (of course there a little error in my stopwatching) so why should this be fake? the reason why it may look slower is because the cam is set to a light tele wich compresses the distance optically. makes it look slower. thats all. if you would set it to a wider angle of view it would look much faster.
and also time looks slow? Moment when we see other car and moment when he pass them is like one milion years
why a racing helmet and gloves??
@puky1103 You got to remember that the lens can give the wrong impression of distance. Also why would you fake a video when you have a car capable of those speeds?
Best a8 w12
You realise how big an Audi A8 is right?
Move the iPhone next time so I can see how fast the petrol disappears! Lol
On Czech Highway, serios?
2:58 - VW Passat mit 220Km/h von der linken Spur gedrängt?
Erscheint sonst recht langsam die 295Km/h. Hab so manchmal das Gefühl gehabt das die überholten Lastwagen mit 200 Km/h unterwegs sind. Vielleicht irre ich mich aber irgendetwas stimmt da nicht.
Und Helm auf der Autobahn... ist natürlich klasse. Vor allem bei einer Verkehrskontrolle.🤣
It's because of the camera, it is old and not professional and the videos are poorly synchronised
with lock ¿
Is that an ipod touch or an iphone?
@baytcelu i think..
2020?
2021?
Подскажите что за песня играет в начале...
Watch "Audi A8 W12 autobahn (2008) " the cars look like they are standing still at 200km/h. Watch that then compare. Def not going 295km/h. Not a chance in hell. Watch a few videos of cars on a road going that fast. Has nothing to do with zoom at all. And why is it going right when he is steering left. Makes no sense. Sorry the proof is all there watch another video at that speed any car and watch the white lines, signs and other cars/trucks. It's all there to show you.
It's a highway and that's what it's designed for - fast speeds
Warum hat der einen Helm auf ?
kask mało pomoże przy takiej prędkości gdy coś nie wypali 1:45 ledwo skręcił na prawo...
How old car?
I think so. But honestly, no big deal. Yes its illegal in most places, but that is completely illogical. If people were actually allowed to overtake on either side, then that would make cucumbers hanging around in the middle/outside lane, pull towards the inside, as its not very fun to be overtaken on either side. And it would make people use their mirrors more frequently. Its only because the rules don't allow it, that there is a risk involved in doing so, because people might not expect it.
Only 183 MPH? The VW Phaeton can do 201 MPH with the same engine.
