    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.

    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.

    I’ve driven one myself on a Audi driving experience. This thing is bonkers. The kick downs are so awesome: It shifts down one gear and everything is ok but when it shifts down the second gear it first feels like the car is breaking but then all 620 HP kicks in like nobody’s business and the V10 screams.

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… .👍

      @AB-nv7bz 3 года назад +4

      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. Everyone loves the idea of the fast time on the ring, but realistically most owners will simply let it rip on a freeway entrance ramp or have a spirited ride on a back road.
