Please, just please, add floating text with the stats. It’s WAY easier for us to compare them then
That would be awesome...
Yeah, text that stays up until the final car is mentioned.
Just use your memory, don't be a goldfish. You can remember stuff for more than 8 seconds if you try. It is called learning.

Thats the race no one asked for. But everybody wanted
U tried to copy the guy on the supra video who said that 😂😂

Exactly

No I didnt want to see this r8's race at all ! Just came to put a bad comment on the mk1 r8 which got the same ugly lcd screen between the gauges as the golf mk4 I got when I was younger. Really shameful on an audi to find lower quality things like this!
Tony Stark would have approved
Kamikaze u
Kamikaze he used the r8 in the older films
Christian grey would have approved as well
Vibe he also used an R8 in spider man homecoming
Kamikaze he used r8 in spider man
It's clear the first r8 isn't the fastest, but the coolest one.
Yeah that lmx is the most beautiful car in my opinion
The newest one looks soooo overdone, i prefer the 2017 version over it as well
If only it had one of the v10s...
Vertti syrjälä the r8 had a v10 in 2010 the same first gen r8 im talkin about
Manual😍
The original R8 looks like it was launched in 2014. Impressive how well it ages.
Looks like it was launched in 2014 and performs like it was launched in 2077
The interior looks like my 2007 a3, lol
Impressive how it doesn't age instead...
Like your mom!
Not as well as the Alfa Romeo 8C
“picks slowest car”
Matt: what's going on?
lol 😂😂
It was the only one with a proper manual gear box. Lol
At least he had the most fun. I know I would have
@@carswithcolin yep
Except its spelled Mat :D sry it just sort of had to be stated
IT'S MAT
Still love the original R8, even if it isn't that fast.
It's weird becouse it doesn't get old but.... Classy? I feel weird sentiment to this first R8.
It is still fast as fuck. A quarter mile in 12.6 seconds is extremely fast. Dont dis a 4.2 v8
@Formidable Legend123 it was never a supercar.
@Formidable Legend123 it was never classed as a supercar, the new v10 yes but not the v8. I work for audi and have done for 10 years so I should know.
Formidable Legend123 competition for the gallardo? Lol. Audi designed the V10 Engine for the Gallardo and they both share the same chassis. It all comes down to a person’s preference in design when choosing between the two.
The new R8 is looking for its exhaust sound
new r8 is mostly induction noise not enough exhaust
Those “soft limiters” suck 😞
It won all at speed and braking..what are you looking for ;p
Audi is SO focusing on sounds these days.
@@SliceJosiah this has to be a joke
In acceleration test - R8 wins
Braking test - R8 wins
Drag race - R8 wins
Design - R8 wins
SIMPLY R8 WINS
Fully agreed
So will it beat a Lamborghini Aventador I think not so no
@@hogman3543 you're joking right ?
@@hogman3543 this has to be a joke

That R8 LMX will never age man they are beautiful
@@sgill4833 lmao like literally
True
@@sgill4833 there are noticeable stylings differences between the newest and oldest model. The rear lights are totally different, there are body design changes as well.
@@sgill4833 that's like saying all 911 look the same
@@sarveshshinde6893 they do. All 911 have totally uninspired styling
This is why I like underrated supercars, because in the future, everyone will admire how good they were back in the old days
R8 is underrated?
Vinzent was underrated?
R8 is NOT underrated
That gen 1 r8 looks amazing, its really aged well, whenever I see one it always looks stunning
I wanted the r8 to win but oh well 🤷🏽♂️
Same
I wanted the audi to win, it's such an underrated car......an underdog.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha too funny
Hahahahaha 😳
Which R8 btw? I'm not so sure
Next-Nissan GTR 2008-2019 Drag race😂
YES!!!!
Yeah good luck finding a stock gtr.
YES
@@myster1ous23 no thanks
1999-2019
So then what exactly happened?
Dual clutch transmission, that's what's happened.
OGISEM despite the R8 GT being single clutch
wish they brought a manual V10 because its V10 that happened and not dual clutch. that v8 is just a lame duck and u can be lucky if it puts out 400hp
@@thomasbummer4361 yeah no turbo is just lame
@@grizzly11356 Turbo's are fucking lame.
NA engines are the shit
@@boltmix7294 NA?
3:02 min ohhh boy cold engine :(
Gotze9 where?
Well spotted the Last two R8’s from 3:02 weren’t warmed up properly, coolant temps weren’t up so more than likely oil temps were even lower!
Gotze9 out of all the people, carwow should know better than to redline a cold engine
maybe something is wrong with the thermostat, because it's hard to believe that they would drive them out to the airstrip and the engine wouldnt already be warmed up
@@aka1mite yes because there not 100 to 200 k cars
I'm in love with the LMX R8 😍😍
Lmx is a beautiful car to own. Interior is superb and the matt/silk carbon adds to it well. Used to be 11 in uk i believe, but two went to HK. Doubt i will ever sell it.
Freaking lasers!
i might be the only person who thinks the v10 performance looks the best :/ 🤷🏾♂️
Ahmad Abu Sneineh needs the gt spyder tail lights
didn’t expect the R8 to win 🤯🤯 but jokes aside damn the sounds of the older cars were so much more pronounced
Emissions systems in the exhaust affecting the V10 sound on the new car? The LMX has such a clean look.
LMX is far better looking and sounding than the MK2.
jase_llan the v10 plus is the best version
It’s got one of those soft limiters that suck 😞
The most beautiful drag race ever.
True
Oh please...
@@ceboz it’s really beautiful. R8 is a legendary car that performs really well
Great video matt
Please do the same with all the 911 generations ;-)
Lee Hartshorn no runway on earth would be wide enough
Would be fun to see all generations 911 Turbo do the same race.
There is no room to fit them all
Now that would be epic... But I think they would need a much bigger runway...lol
Maybe just take the basic manual carrera for a good comparison :)
I have a feeling those early V8s might be future classics. Lovely things.
Mark RC Feel the same way. And Lovely V8 Wheels fits best among entire version of it
They already are
I imagine those older manual V8s and V10s are a pure joy to drive!
Except that the maintenance cost breaks your bank account....
Eugene K. They’re actually pretty reliable if I have to say so myself
Holy the Spyder and the LMX are so rare
I'll take the V8 manual all day. 👌
Sir Render manuals are the best
Manuals are better for donuts
Ye boi
Auto is faster though
Why?
We still would be even happier if u could make a pOPuP lAyEr for the specs.
Yes please
2020 technology, can't be done
Love the manual! The new r8 sadly sounds muted due to new emission standards. Missing the rwd and manual v10 versions.
The haven't looked or sounded good since 2015
@@silentnight1805 lmao sure mate. Never seen one on the road I guess.
@@kraenk12 What do you mean. I mean they dont sound as good as the V10 lmx.
You can always just cut the muffler off
Missing the true party piece, concept R8 V12 TDI
Fantastic video , I love to see races between the generations 👌🏻 more like this please!!
Absolutely love these videos! Keep them coming
The original R8 would still be a lotto dream car.
You wouldn't need a lotto win to own one. In the UK a decent 08' are down to around 30k.
@@mrjones29 The running and maintenance costs are probably a lot higher, though.
@@itIsI988 It's all relative. If one can own an R8 then surely one can afford the maintenance and fuel costs too.
@@MementoMori-xx5qo It's a similar answer I've given earlier, if one can own an R8 then surely one can afford the reasonable insurance cover. In the UK can get fully covered for less than 2K.
Next do a Nissan GT-R drag race
All skyline gtrs
All Nismo spec
This please
Yeah!
What is nismo spec lol
@@DuBstep115 top spec
@@MrHussain1998 There is no such thing as nismo spec
The original r8 is the r8 that clarkson drove against hammonds porche!!
Look at the number plate🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥
It will be interesting to see more video like this one , battle of the generations.
A symphony of Audi's finest!
Hi again
@@-TJ- hey mate! 😂
That's not saying much
Audi Lovers : It was like a amazing dream.
Hell yea! 😎❤️🔥
Alles deutsch
Epic video, really enjoyed watching!
I have owned my R8 Selection24h for 3yrs now and not even remotely bored or unhappy with it, I love it just as much as the day I brought her home 😍
That white GT Spyder, it never got any better than that
Heavy spoilers alert:
Audi R8 wins
that one strange guy oh nooooo 😭😂
Oh no I spoiled it!
It is the r8
Congrats u completely ruined it for me 💀
Wtf dude why spoil it for me 😭
2:13 muuusic to ears... ❤️
What a brilliant idea ! Well done gents. Do more of these across other auto makers like Porsche, BMW, Mercedes (and go back even further in time !). Cheers lads
Great video. Loved Audi vs Audi vs Audi vs Audi. It was very interesting to see the progress though. Cheers from across the pond.
Impressed by the LMX. I think an older R8 with a V10 and manual gearbox would be a nice used supercar to drive.
V10 manual 😍
Honestly, you lost me when you started taking about their engine size, HP etc ...
Would be a lot helpful if it showed on the screen so we can see and compare that way
Agreed!
I had to rewind it 3 times to get all the specs.
Same here ! Pretty hard To hear all informations, especially for some poor english skilled people like the french I am 😅
Short memory
I also like naturally aspirated, manual gearbox Supercars... they have such a good feel and orgasm of driving fast...😁😄👍
Great idea! Love the videos keep it coming!
Nobody:
Carwow : New R8 vs Old R8 vs Older R8 vs An even older R8
Can this shitty meme die already
u can call it ancient just like this meme
@@TheEchelon He didn't use it right either.
Start: We will never know which one gonna win!!
Race: We're on a Nail biting moment/quantum finish
Result: wow the new Audi just won!
After the race : Okay so what exactly happened
What fucking happen is the car in the first place won
The manual gearbox sucks .
A lovely generation comparison, I loved it. I also loved rhe exhaust sounds of the first and newest generation cars. The newest though, really turned into art, what a creation, it's just turned into perfection.
All R8 generations together, from 2006 to 2019. Very rare to see.
V10 sound for the newest R8 officially destroyed from EU filter...
TheMpamMpam
That may have been to do with the driver. If the driver had revved it while in Sport Mode or in Dynamic Mode, it would have sounded the best of the bunch, complete with those renowned crackles.
@@chillout1109 Nope, unfortunately it doesn't have to do with the driver or any modes whatsoever... It is the fun killing opf...
Actually, like most new Audi’s, when in neural and Stronic you can only rev the cars to 4K rpm. So they wouldn’t of sounded as good as the others which could rev into the high rpm range getting that iconic v10 sing
@@94RS actually for the last time No... Unfortunately that is not the case. The new engine note is tamed down...
TheMpamMpam I would say for sure the engine is turned down a little compared to previous runs but i wouldn’t go as far to say “its officially destroyed” the sound.
I'd still buy the oldest v8... On real life roads I think it's the best one. And for me it's the best looking!
On real life roads you can’t take them to their top speeds; all you can enjoy is acceleration....which the oldest one is still the worst by a landslide.
@@KC-bg1th except you life in Germany
agreed Alex.. it is the beauty
its an unreliable piece of crap and im an audi enthusiast! look not enough
I absolutely agree with you regarding the first R8 being beautiful, it's just magnificent looking.
Love videos like this
You make great videos bro, love it so much
One of the best sounding car wow races ever 👌🏾 V8 and V10's
My fav is still R8 4.2 V8 with manual, perfect for me🙂
Just the way I like my sports cars, all show no go.
@Starscream_xxx enough power, enough traction, proper manual, 420 hp, not needed for more, not needed for less and it can reach 300 km/h. Personally why do more than that? Just enough, and it looks stunning!
@Starscream_xxx of course they"re are, and the newer R8 will be quicker in terms of paddle shifting and power, the new one is brutal in both terms, but for me, as stated, open road, manual and V8, in terms od pure joy, will always be in favor than 0.01 sec paddle shift and 600hp+ with V10.
@@mikicro1983 True... There is nothing that can beat the feel of manual shifts :0
@Starscream_xxx It's a show car, not a sports car at that point.
Omg i reaalllllyyy want thay 2019 version, ill think about it in the future
Anyone else fell in love with this car the moment Tony Stark drove it? I was 8 years old.
When I was 10 I saw the movie for the first time and I had this car as my wallpaper on my Samsung galaxy s3 for like 2 years 😂. I built it out of legos, I drew it, i dreamt of it. I need to get this car soon!
I fell in love since watching 50 shades of grey
j o Need for Speed Carbon was the moment for me. But now I‘m older and the new Audi‘s are boring and slower then Mercedes and BMW.
Iron man 1 was a good movie but the sequels are trash
Hallo Lieberster Clude 99
Audi cars are still fast though because they are the ones making engines for lambo/Bentley
This is the best race You have ever Made 😎!!!!
Hats off !!!!
Carwow i love this ! please make more of this "Interbrand" races, this is awesome like you did with all the Bmw M's
Awesome video Matt and CarWow 🙌 cool to see the differences in generations of R8. Although, the V8 could have been quicker if he revved it past 7000 but hey, cool to see this run.
i LOVE that r8 gt spyder, no matter if its still not fast enough, i still love it.
Still think the first gen r8 is the most beautiful
Honestly i would prefer the oldest one with manual then any automatic. Learning to drive this kind of horsepower peefectly with your own skills must be dream like experience
True, great car. And the original ones also had a manual gearbox fitted to the V10s as standard!
Great video . Love my 17 V10+ , this new Audi DCT transmission is amazing , very fast response to paddle shifters and crazy fast shifts . I've had many cars with manual transmissions before and don't miss them much . Gated transmissions are nice for show cars and regular driving but they suck when it comes to performance driving. It's hard to shit them as fast as regular manual transmissions .
Thankfully got to drive an original manual R8 V8 once and its a genuinely fast car. Most don't think so but it really is. As Matt said the pick up is strong and it just keeps going. I'd happily have the older R8. Those V10's do sound stunning though. Style wise I don't think anything beats the GT Spyder!
What a amazing Drag race. I love Audi & your Channel too 😁
1:46 omg the sound
Ive driven the V10 spyder yesterday, what a machine!!!
Great video!
Other RUclips channel : let's make a video that everyone asked and wanted to see.
CarWow : let's just makes a video that nobody asked for and have fun with it.
no one is complaining besides you. the r8 is a perfect car
Love ur vids carwow!!
I wanted to see this to compare 0-60 n 1/4 mi times 💯🔥🔥 thanks n also subscribed bruv
Still love the V8 with a manual the best. Just a pure driving experience and best manual ever.
The GT Spyder sounda unique...i kinda dig it,great video Carwow :D
Funny, even though the R8 manual was the slowest by far, it’s the one I want the most.
The facelifted r8 revving sounds like me when my mom is trying to wake me up
AMAZING VIDEO
CARWOW ❤️
That was one great video! Interesting how the blue V10 Mk.1 seemed to pick up faster than the newest Mk.2 in both accelerations.
Probably a slow driver in the new one.
I'd take that manual over all the others any day even if it has less HP
Same here
I mean the Ferrari style gearbox is spectacular and feels super cool when you're using it but it limits you if you want upgrade or drive at the limits
@@keremkuruuzumcu7761 you are actually limiting the vehicle with a professional driver it could always go faster than you just need to learn to be faster
Same
Those naturally aspirated engines sound so goooood! 😻🔥
Carwow makes the content that I never think about. Keep it up!
Surprised the V8 held up so well! A V10 manual is the ultimate R8 though.
Great race as always!😸😻😸
Awesome race!
We have seen generation BMW's and Audi's now. How about Generation C63's in a drag and rolling?
Chris pretty small drag race
You mean a W204 against a W205?
Maybe with all AMG C-Class models
Enjoyed the video. Would really benefit from a table including the performance figures of the 4 cars side by side. Would make it a lot easier to process all the performance information on these types of videos.
Been saying this for a while now
Brilliant video.
This race was all I wanted❤️
That beautiful manual will be missed.
Damn they all look so good! Probs to Audi for never ketting us down with the design!
I enjoy this channel 😎👍
Love that sound
The original R8 looks the best and the only one with a manual .
nimsocutt all the same... and manual is shit
Manuals are slow. That's what die hard manual fans need to understand, as proven in this video.
Fawzee Emmamdeen you’ll never feel as involved in an auto
@@jw7542 I know, I daily drive a manual and I'm pretty satisfied with it but we have to face it, we'll never be fast enough in a manual compared to an auto
@@Thomas-tn2se you are shit.
You were missing the V10 Manual car
Hi mat, love your vids. You should do original Audi R8 vs all new Audi RS6
Bro this is a series I'd like to keep seeing. Any cars, i don't even care. This is cool to see the generations.
10.7 is insane. Quicker than a McLaren F1.
10.7 is still slower than a sl black series😂
That’s the best sounding Carwow race ever 👍
So much awesomeness in one video! Would have either model of R8 ♥️
Matt during rolling drag: The pick up is really good on this; really good.
Other R8s: That must mean we're great, See ya.
Audi: That's progress for ya.
