man, i rode in one of these 2 weeks ago, and it is scary fast. went from 35 mph to 105 in less than 4 seconds. the feeling of it kicking from 5 down to first gear and being pinned to the seat in a state of pure shock is insane.
Physical buttons (hooray!!) and yet the interior design looks so minimal and classy. They sure know what they're doing, unlike some other companies which are all about marketing and style rather than usability (i.e. Tesla).
Currently have a Huracan EVO and came from a R8 V10 Plus (2017)... got to say, I miss the ease of driving the R8 much more due to visibility. Also a WAY better audio system in the R8. The Huracan's touch infotainment system also is a mess in my opinion. Million leagues below the MMI of the Audi.
The sad part is that they are the same exact car but the R8 is a $100k less. You are paying $100k for Lamborghini badges, a body kit, and a different tune.
I’m learning towards an acr viper or the r8 for my first modern sports car purchase everything else I have is a hot rod or built dodge diesels. Thanks poster for explaining the comfort of an r8 I do plan to drive the hell out of the purchase and the acr viper from what I’ve seen is just not comfortable to drive distance.
The R8 looks extremely beautiful, the rear is a work of art, very simple yet exciting. The front is also a good fit. The overall proportions just fit nicely. The Lamborghini looks like an angry wedge
I'm not saying this because I drive a Yaris or anything... but when you read the list of stuff included as standard in it or in really cheap option packages, it makes you realize how many people overspend for nothing on other brands/models
I would rather have the Audi R8, Had a 5.2 V10 S6 previously, lovely engine and if you get the limiter taken off and tuned up, it surprises a few supercars.
Beautiful car! I went into Audi to purchase it, but left with the A8L V8, at about $110K vs $220K on the R8. I figured I can go a few years back and pick up a low-mileage R8 in the future for $80K.
I totally agree with you mate, I absolutely despise soft rev limiters, and like mat said, if your paying over 120k for a naturally-aspirated v10, you wanna give the peeps in town a bit of pop and bang if u know what I mean. Unfortunately, with the petrol ban to be introduced in the foreseeable future, its only gonna get worse my friend. But yes, soft rev limiters are the bane of our petrolhead lives.
The R8 is nice looking and likely well engineered. I’ve had 2 Audi turbo sedans and loved them, reputedly the best in car interiors. I would like to see the R8 realistically compared all out to a Porsche 911 4S, which checks all the boxes for me as a daily. I was a bit surprised seeing that 10 cylinder engine jump around under hard revving. No doubt it’s rubber mounted but that movement gives me pause that it might tear up the mounting area.🤷♂️ As a Porsche enthusiast there’s just something unique about the way they drive. After driving 911’s and Panamera 4S’s for 10+ years it would be a stretch to give one up for the admitted nice Audi entry. I especially enjoyed watching them run high in the road circuit races. I hope Audi will keep developing them… .👍
@@aronbarron7158 Engines with no turbocharger's are called natural aspirated or N.A engines, and yes this R8 is powered by an N.A V10 engine. Anyway N.A V12's sounds better than N.A V10.

Pretty sure the Huracan is a bit faster. It's a little lighter. However, the big difference is the ability to use it as a daily. Thats why i love audi. All of their RS cars are not as quick on a track as the rival, but they are always the most comfortable. They use more soundproofing and have softer suspension.

I own exactly the same one. The sound is just amazing. It's hard to beat on the 1/4 mile. It's a hyper car no doubt. On a dry circuit you can easely do the 0 to 60 miles in 2.8 seconds. You can drive it on the road, but the engine just screams for acceleration. The sound again. On a circuit cornering is just so much fun. I say even more it's faster then the GT3 and the GT3 RS on a circuit. No doubt. It's not a road car for long distances. No hyper car is in my opinion. It's built to race. In my case, I just stored it with low kilometers on it. I got already some good offers, but I can not sell the R8. It's the best enjoyable hyper car from Audi. Crazy I know, but I love it too much. My wife once said, what if you have to choose between me and the R8. I answered. I hope it never comes to that.
That would depend on whether she would leave you when you're at your lowest point in life and broke? Or will she go through hell with you no matter where it leads you two.
Hi Matt, Two points, the R8 Performance/ V10 Plus in dry mode is 90% rwd the fronts tend to work when 'essential', hence the 'donuts'. Wet mode is 50:50, Snow mode 60:40(I believe). Last point, the reason you found the new shape easier to drive is because it came with Michelins. You need to be Alert with Pirellis.
Hi Mat here: which engine configuration do you think has the best sound?

I own exactly the same one. The sound is just amazing. It's hard to beat on the 1/4 mile. It's a hyper car no doubt. On a dry circuit you can easely do the 0 to 60 miles in 2.8 seconds. You can drive it on the road, but the engine just screams for acceleration. The sound again. On a circuit cornering is just so much fun. I say even more it's faster then the GT3 and the GT3 RS on a circuit. No doubt. It's not a road car for long distances. No hyper car is in my opinion. It's built to race. In my case, I just stored it with low kilometers on it. I got already some good offers, but I can not sell the R8. It's the best enjoyable hyper car from Audi. Crazy I know, but I love it too much. My wife once said, what if you have to choose between me and the R8. I answered. I hope it never comes to that.
Id class a hypercar as a Keonigsegg / LaFerrari. Id consider the R8 a supercar, not a hypercar. Still a beaut though!
Lol
That would depend on whether she would leave you when you're at your lowest point in life and broke? Or will she go through hell with you no matter where it leads you two.
Tough to say, but R8 looks way better than a Huracan
Yea, lambos are too in your face imo
LFA V10 has the best sound, im sure most people will agree;)
I Hope one day Formula One will be back on V10... 😔😔
For sure. No contest
Hi Matt,
Two points, the R8 Performance/ V10 Plus in dry mode is 90% rwd the fronts tend to work when 'essential', hence the 'donuts'.
Wet mode is 50:50, Snow mode 60:40(I believe).
Last point, the reason you found the new shape easier to drive is because it came with Michelins. You need to be Alert with Pirellis.
Mat looks like he’s going to rampage in Liberty City
Watching that engine wrestle around in the back of the car was incredible
Best sounding engine? Has to be a naturally aspirated 1.0l engine from an old Nissan Micra with a hole in the exhaust 😝🤘
Is that an optional extra. Andy England 😎
No, thanks N.A V12's or V10's will sound better. For that case even the turbo GR Yaris will sound better literally.

Also Mat : *Points to the sky*
Just imagine, Chris Harris and Matt Watson together on TG. Would be amazing! Hands down two of my favorite car guys.
“I’m paying for a V10 engine, let me *ucking hear it!”
Amazing, I’m so glad we don’t get this BS in the USA
It is limited still in the US lol
@@Blotsi lmao f
@@Blotsi On every VAG product too. Even my 2012 Jetta won't let you rev above 3500 in park. Not that I'd want to. LOL
Yes you do. (get the soft limiter in the us)
Lucky bastards
Why Audi Why?!?!
A soft limiter on a V10 is disgraceful😡
Noise regulations by EU
It’s not Audi, it’s the regulations. Not their fault.
This is my dream car. Is this car sold in Canada and the United States of America?😍👍👍👍
Yea
Is RHD difficult to drive in America. Thinking about getting an r8 from the UK and shipping it here
