My son just bought the same car in black What a car. I've had fast bikes but gosh this is fast,the pull is unbelievable and the sound is unbelievable, Great video thank you
Joe, the gearing for the v10 plus is different from the base v10 in that the 7th gear is shorter for the sake of acceleration. The non-plus is definitely the better cruiser.
Really don’t understand how RUclips works with regards to views and subscribers. You should have 10x what you have for the content you produce. Been following you since the beginning and the consistently is impressive. Keep at it, Joe!
Totally agree with you regarding the wheel size. The only reason wheels have to be big sometimes is to fit huge brakes, but I'm sure a 19" wheel does an equally good job as 20" or even bigger ones to fit the brakes though. I think of it this way, have you ever seen an F1 car with such a tiny tyre wall?
Truly the best everyday supercar .......if you own a petrol station. Yes there are faults. I’ve noticed the high revs in my TT 3.2 . Thanks to Audi and joe.
I've driven the spyder version with slightly less HP. I ran it around in the Nevada high desert at triple digits for hours. A sublime car. Handles great, gearbox almost as good as a PDK(that' saying something!), and that ENGINE! So linear and smooth.
Good review mate! With regards to the rpm at 70mph, I understand the frustration, but I would bear in mind that it revs to almost 9k! Relative to its redline, 3k rpm is not that bad. Anyways, loved the video, love the car!
Good to see Joe that manufactures are giving you cars to review. Get this man some more subscribers for more of these great videos. Keep up the good work.
I thought the heads up display was the future 20 years ago. Seems most don't care about it. I've fully enjoyed them on the cars that I've had. Engine mic was excellent. And who really uses the radio or cup holders in a car like this. :) LOL
Like the color, like the sound. The headliner does indeed seem a bit off - looks like what I have in my 2007 Z4. The 19s in the rear may be more 'practical' but it looks a bit unbalanced. They almost look like drag racing slicks in size vs the fronts.
Another great video Joe! Those plastic paddles are a travesty on a supercar. For whatever reason, all VW and Audi paddles are terribad. Paddle replacements was one of my first mods on my Golf R (went with S2T Performance Paddles). Cheers
Great video, What mic did you use in the engine bay and did you connect it up to something like a zoom h1, getting engine and exhaust is the main challenge
Was that Snake Pass in the footage, use it a lot but you rarely get a good run because you get so many peeps driving 10-20mph under the limit. The R8 is one of those cars that looks better in the flesh, it is not worth its value but it is a head turner, that sound is awesome.
I’m not sure about the plus- but I have a 2017 standard spyder- fuel economy is actually ok- motorway sees high 20’s, one thing not mentioned is the new models (2016-18) do have cylinder on demand. Anyway- when you’re pushing on you can’t expect more than 10-13mpg. Disagree with the 19’s - needs 20’s
JOE BRILIANT REVIEW DID SAY TO YOU I HAVE AN AUDI FIRST R8 GENERATION LMX ONLY MADE 99 OF THEM WITH INCONEL EXHAUST ITS BEEN TUNE BY DMS TO OVER 600 BHP ENGINE SOUNDS AMAZING COME TO CYPRUS TRY IT OUT TOLD YOU BEFORE BUDDY HAVE A GREAT ONE P
Love your review Joe, love the car and the sound it makes is amazing. However, having just collected my M2 from Sydney, driven The Great Ocean Road and am now heading for the Barossa Valley. All things considered, including sound and fun, I have to choose the M2. Do yo7 agree?
Great review, who doesn't love that v10! Only dig is that the audio is phasing from the different clips, it makes your voice sound little bit weird and echoy. Not a big deal, but just thought i'd say!f
When things were new for Audi, like the full digital cluster, they were LOOOONG ways ahead of the competition. But now... in 2018... competition has finally caught up and to be honest, the UI looks outdated and still the same. The new BMW clusters are on point man! Too bad Audi haven't evolved...
I know you're a busy man Joe but you need to keep up with current issues. The new Porsche 911 has also lost the well positioned cup holders. When will this anarchy end? :)
19.8 MPG average for a V10 supercar is bad??? Sorry I didn't realise how spoilt people are these days. My standard e92 M3 is sitting at a constant 17 MPG average :D
*that mic in the engine bay is a winner. Sounds bonkers mate! Great video!*

Get the 'plus' map put on it then seeing as they're identical and you're on to a winner!
Oh my god, THAT SOUND! 😍

Heard one of the early ones when walking through the city years ago. Lovely sound. The cars themselves do nothing for me at all though.

Excellent job capturing the induction sound
I just want that engine!!!! Sweet Video!!!
Hi Joe, nice video. When are you going to do a review of your new 7 series please?
great review!

Another brilliant video Joe :). That V10 is glorious

Sowlbody has actually ticked the white roof option?? The standard is black, but the white one is a 0£ box
Not sure the next generation will be better. Down sized engine's and turbos will be no match for that V10. Will they keep it?
Great video! If you were building a collection, would you buy one to keep?
Savage. Excellent video Joe
Great national speed limit video Joe
Great video Joe 👌🏼

Top video mate 👍🏻
Hopefully that engine noise drowns out the sound of your bank account emptying 👍👍
He still pays for the fuel though

Awesome first minute , have a like !!
Nice engine bay microphone... I hope it catches on.😂
Another amazing video joe

I still hear it in my dreams 🤣
Very good review. 😁

Nice grounded review Joe!
Nice video, although I may be biased....I’ve just bought that very car :)
I know you're a busy man Joe but you need to keep up with current issues. The new Porsche 911 has also lost the well positioned cup holders. When will this anarchy end? :)
Joe you forgot to mention the shitty paddles that come on the r8.same paddles on the ttrs and rs3 smh.
that v10 sound
New car hopefully should sound better
"COOL SUPERCAR" lol. Nice video
Nice car, fuel bill is a bit of a put off though
Yeah you need to be loaded in this day and age 👌
A lot quicker than an M4 ?
@@jamesr8897 eh? Is that a serious question lol
strange how this video has so few views, I guess the r8 doesn't tickle many peoples biscuits
Jack Naylor thought the sake

Probably because of the length, the span of attention for most people is shorter than a pigeon nowadays...

Average at 65-70mph, it's combined average after a week was 12 mpg
@@JoeAchilles1 Ah ok, that makes a lot more sense! Nice vid btw - forgot to say. Like the drone stuff.
All testing performed on closed roads 😉
6.5mpg at 60mph eh 😉
The next car will be an EV... hows that for economical 😅

Yummy
