Whoa!! Congrats on driving the R8 for a little while, Tommy… sounds amazing💪
The #TommyScore isn’t a bad idea actually
Thanks for watching the whole thing and knowing this thing is actually temporarily traded!
@@TommyLGarage I was hoping you’d talk about steering feel. Can you elaborate on that aspect in a future video?
@@tractioncontroldelete will do. But it’s amazing
3:20 This 5.2 l V10 is not a Lamborghini derived engine. It was built by Audi and it's derived from the 4.2l V8 engine put on RS4, RS5 , S4 and so on. After the 5.0 L V10 from the Gallardo was decommissioned they fitted this engine (5.2) on the later versions of the Gallardo and the newer model Hurracan. So actually it's the other way around, Lamborghini took the 5.2 from the Audi and fitted it on the Hurracan and late-Gallardos, not the other way around. Just wanted to clarify this, because sometimes feels a bit unfair for Lamborghini to take all the credit whenever there's something good coming out from Audi :)
Wow you’re absolutely right. Thanks for the note!
@@TommyLGarage No problem! Godspeed! :)
Spitting facts
The Huracan is based of the R8 not the other way around. The power plant and chassis components are Audi.
Great point!
Yes sir💯 amazes how so few people know this
I had an F82 m4 competition for 2 years, sold it at the start of covid. I picked up a new range rover sport v8 hse dynamic now, and I now I feel like I need another true sports car.
I was so conflicted between a gt3, 570s, and r8 but I realized the r8 is really the only I could happily drive every day and also take out into the canyons. That v10 is just nuts.
I was also looking at a 992 C4s but I don't think it will have nearly as much emotion as the r8. Thanks for the video
I think a 991.2 GT3 will have the most emotions. R8 is a close second
Just want to add: despite my negative comments in my other post, I really like your review style and your videos in general are really good. Particularly like the DIY ones where you edit them just about right in my view.. enough to convey the work involved, including the bad stuff, but not so much that it's just tediously boring (nobody needs to see every single bolt being worked) as can be the case with other DIY's. Good job! :)
Thank you for the love. It means a lot!
Best R8 spec i'vs ever seen
Agreed
Good to have friends with R8s! In my case it was a V8. Amazing car but that V10 is glorious. Looking forward to the next one!
They’re such amazing cars.
Pretty sure it’s on lowering springs and the body kit is from Vorsteiner.
Also the cup holder cover does open all the way if u pull it through and can stay open like that.
Btw, rotate the track mode button and there are different modes in it(wet, dry, etc.)
Good points across! It’s lowered on KW
This is a perfect spec! The color really pops and it’s a V10 Plus! You did a phenomenal job with this video Bro 👊🏽💯
I love this one. Thanks!!!
I think the motor is to the left because of balance it’s the same in my v8 😊 this color looks amazing and the support bars in Engine bay look great the v8 doesn’t have those
I approve this color 🚙
Me too!
*daily driver, natural feeling, super car*
Hi Tommy. Audi will not make this wonderful car next year and this year's productions is completely sold out. The used cars are still going up in price. V10 naturally aspirated with minimal electronic controllers is why you feel the speed and the road so precisely. it feels amazing!! I would say the R8 is at the peak of human ICE engineering! Nothing compares to it!
I may own it one day
I lean towards the R8 v10 plus over the GT3 for the same reasons you like it over the turbo s. Plus I won’t be tracking either car but a few times a year of that.
Glad we're on the same page. This one just looks so exotic..yet not as obnoxious as a Lambo
I could listen to you talk about the car all day. The REAL question is, how on EARTH did you convince your wife to let you buy it? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s wife probably left him already
Haha
Don't wish it upon me :)
Congrats man 😊 enjoy the R8 🤘🏻
Thanks! Will do!
Love the Audi digital cluster.
I agree
Great video Tommy, that thing sounds great. Can we expect to see any super car in the garage long term? And if you could have one super car, which one would it be?
Thanks! If you can call a GT3 a super car it would be it. But honestly I’m seriously contemplating an R8 one of these days.
@@TommyLGarage r8 RWD though :P
Great job! When’s Ray’s review on your car?!
Here’s a recap of Ray’s review of my car: “eehhh…I don’t like it.”
what brand is the after market parts? (winf diffuser ect)
That V10 screamsss
IT's so amazing
It would be nice if you can react to the e60 m5. 😁 great video as always 👌
I need to find one :)
Yes, the Audi R8 is the new Holy Grail. VW/Audi bought Lamborghini. Mille Grazie...
The Audi R8 V-10 engine bay looks gorgeous under glass with a carbon fiber surround. At least the oil cap is centered, even if the whole engine is shifted to one side. No, the Audi R8 isn't a daily driver to leave at the train station all day. If it is a daily, drive to work less than 5k miles a year, and no bad weather. It is an affordable weekend supercar (used < $60-80k).
A babyseat in an Audi R8 V10? HaHa #ChildAbuse Good enough for Tony Stark/Ironman.
I have a baby seat in my Cayman hehe
Awesome. Congrats
Thanks!
Nice
Spasiba
Awesome car!! Love the R8 v10 plus
Me too!
so many questions to ask!
will you make this Audi lower than f80?
does air come out of this big holes if door is open?
what money would you store in this car? normally, you are left with no money after such a purchase
would you attach famous mud flaps to it?
why are you wearing red jacket in a blue car?
where will be DIY MagSafe phone holder placed?
does it support Android Auto/Apple CarPlay?
This one is low enough :)
Lol @ that evil laugh at 21:08
Haha
I really like the engine on the R8 and it rides quite comfortably. Curious whether you considered getting a 991.2 GT3 manual instead.
Gt3 manual is no longer on my radar. Fast cars need to be automatic
@@TommyLGarage Nothing wrong with optimizing for lap times. I choose control and joy of driving instead. It’s whatever one prefers. Can’t go wrong either way.
My dream car!
Mine too!
@@TommyLGarage Yes even though there a faster cars, especially some ev's, i don't think there is any way one will ever get tired of the guttural, visceral sound of the R8 V10! Cheers to you Tommy L Garage!
Woah! Nice Tommy!
You like it?
@@TommyLGarage Yes!
Great video first time checking your channel. Can you post up exactly what exhaust this car has? I went to check out a silver 17 R8 few days ago its not a Plus model so not sure if its the right one i want but it is certified from Audi which is a plus.
Thanks! This one has a capristo exhaust.
@@TommyLGarage nice thats what have on my Ferrari, sounds awesome on the R8, did he remove cats and ecu tune it? What part of Nj are you in
@@autofanaticcars he kept the cats. This is catback only and stock tune.
He’s in south Jersey
you can also get a r8 v10 with gated 6sp
Older generation
THIS ONE I LIKE!!
Thanks!
Is this a factory color or is it wrapped? What’s the name of this color? It’s lovely.
It’s factory
Amazing exhaust note!! Would you happen to know where he got the aftermarket paddle shifters?
He mentioned ECS Tuning but I can't seem to find them there
I also need those! Let me know if you find them
Why does that car bog when launching?
Needs more power !
Nice!
Thanks!
My next car will be a R8 plus Quattro 2017 💯 ✅
They’re amazing
Congrats !
Thanks !
I just got a used turbo 911 s. 2017.
Wow now that’s quick!
@@TommyLGarage the person that had it did turbo upgrades and holy 💩
Check your top Frame of your car there are know for cracks.
Beautiful Car!!!
I agree
Cool video tommy
Thanks!
...don't like being punked... gone.
Bye !
Looks. Nice
I agree
Isn’t the engine to the side because of the LP?
Hmmmm.. not sure
I have a 2016 gt4...6 speed. I'd like to make the switch to this but I'm concerned about missing the real car feeling from the gearbox and I'd hear the r8 steering is numb compared to the gt4. Is this true?
Nope. Not numb at all. Just doesn’t feel like a daily driver. But it is super thrilling!
I'm in the middle of doing this swap. Did you do it? If so, was it worth it?
Świetny wybór, niech służy dzielnie ☺ LY5Q pasuje do R8. Edit: szkoda że furka tylko na kilka tygodni☺
Dzięki! Będzie na CaroSeria za kilka tygodni….albo miesięcy. Zależy kiedy wrzucą
Twin Turbo..... it?
I can’t see any real world scenarios where this car would need more power
Sweet
Very !
@@TommyLGarage ps love the color 👍
Don’t do it, get the 991.2 GT3
At this point now that I love the dual clutch is so GT3RS !
What a beauty. Too bad you can’t keep it. Lol.
I know, right?
would you have this over a 718 GT4 manual?
Yes. Assuming I have another manual car in the stable
@@TommyLGarage but what if you didn't? I love that epic v10, but can't get past the lack of manual FOR ME..first gen's are getting a little long in the tooth to have as your only car...
Sweeeet
And it’s off center for weight distribution
I wonder what's offsetting it on the other side
Nice trade-in 👌🏿 👀 oooo la la
Did you watch the video? ;)
@@TommyLGarage I did, got ahead of myself 😆 my mistake, still enjoyed it the content of course.
@@HoMiE327 love having you here!!!
Honestly up until you said you didn’t really purchase it, I was surprised you would have chosen an R8. Lol.
You know me too well :)
Aaaaand I'm back 👊
Welcome back !
Nice 👍🏿
:)
So when they put fake engine noises in our M3’s why didn’t they make it sound like this???😉
Great question!!
Quattro = Haldex "AWD" system. Jk. :) This is the real thing.
You need a "Got 7spd DCT" NJ license plate.
Haha working on the plate !
As long as the wife don't mind - get it!
AMEN!
I need a friend like ray. 😭😭
It’s Mr Ray
@@TommyLGarage I need a friend like Mr Ray
Audi. ? C'mon! Just kidding. Nice 👍🙂 as far Audi. Well my wife's sq5 is fine but in my book as far Audis are rs6 avant and R8 :)
It’s so amazing !
Tease
Haha
Sorry but that interior is just horrible. Waaay too fussy! Quilting? in a car? Just looks cheap and nasty, same for the perforated leather (if it is even real leather which I highly doubt), makes the steering wheel especially look like a £50 cheap gaming wheel. I'm sure the part quality is good, it certainly looks it, but it just looks like someone drew a dash and then started sticking bits on it, there's no cohesion to the interior at all.
Also (and this isn't aimed at Tommy specifically), but when did describing car interiors become like describing wine or art? "deviated" stitching? Pulease!! it's just stitching in a contrasting colour for crying out loud. "Appointed" leather? really? what's wrong wtih just saying leather? Car manufacturers are really brainwashing everyone with their ridiculous "fancy" terms to describe nothing special at all, and unfortunately most car reviewers are falling for it big time.
I kind of like the quilting!
@@TommyLGarage Maybe it's because I'm a Brit, but quilting will always remind me of certain styles of Farmer jackets :)
:)
Yeyy
