2022 Audi R8 V10 Review - Price - Specification - Audi Car

 this is the audi r8 and it's a little

bit like

a siberian tiger in the way that it's

beautiful

it's powerful and it's got an incredible

raw also like the siberian tiger

it's about to go extinct you ain't going

to be seeing naturally aspirated v10s

for much longer

thankfully unlike the siberian tiger it

won't rip your face off it's actually a

very manageable supercar to prove it

in this video i'm actually going to see

how close i can get to the claim

nor to 60 sprint time even though it's

winter

and the track is all wet i'm also going

to prove that it can be fun despite

being an all-wheel drive audi by seeing

if you can hoon it around

like you can some old-school bmw m car

reason being that one of my teams bought

an m car

more on that later i'm matt watson and

you're watching car wow

buying a new car then head to car wow

and my team will help you find your next

car

at a fair price car wow your one-stop

car buying comparison site

let's kick off this video by talking

about the price so the audio rate range

kicks off with a rear-wheel drive only

model which starts

from around 117 000 pounds if you want

the security of quattro all-wheel drive

and i recommend

you do then you're looking at 130 000

pounds if you want to upgrade some of

the performance

you can get the performance model see

what they did there that'll cost you

from 140 000 pounds though wait a minute

look

you can actually save an average of just

under 12 grand of an audi r8 if you buy

through car wow now to tell you the

truth you're probably not thinking about

buying our rate but maybe if you're

after a more normal car i'll put a

little pop out icon just down the top

right corner of the screen

if you click that you can get a car out

and check out all the latest deals on

new cars

through our website and on average you

can save around

six hundred pounds through car wow

alternatively if you wanna do that at a

later date just simply google

help me car wow and my team and i will

help you choose the right car for you

and get it for a fair price from one of

our trusted dealers now let's talk about

the design because this is a

beautiful looking car underneath it

shows lots of its parts with a

lamborghini huracan but i'd rather have

this

i know somebody wouldn't they'd say

something else all day every day

but they're wrong it's a great great

piece of design this car i mean just

look at the back end of it i love this

wing that you get on the performance

model

common fiber is standard on the

performance the normal quattro and rear

wheel drive don't have the rear wing

party piece though is this just seen

that v10 engine

through the rear screen absolutely

gorgeous huge exhaust pipes as well

though these surrounds they're fake but

there are real exhausts hidden within

there

and of course classic audi look we've

got scrolly scrolly indicators

scrolly mcscroll anyway let's move on

side of this car so iconic with these

side blades

you get different colors depending on

which model you go for same with wheel

sizes they start at 19 inches

rising to 20s stunning

yeah you know i like it you can get a

carbon black edition which has all these

parts

in carbon black as the name suggests and

it does that a lot you know performance

common black

simple to keep up front's really good as

well there's no engine

here at the front so it's quite

interesting that they still have an

audi ish grill it's not as big as on

normal loudest but still when you

compare it to something like a

lamborghini with its flush nose

it's quite interesting yeah i like it i

really like it a lot what do you reckon

would you

rather have one of these than a

lamborghini huracan and i'm just talking

about the looks okay i'm just talking

about the looks which one do you have

let me know in the comments

the inside of the ra is just as

wonderful as the outside

quality materials is exemplary and

everything feels really solid

perfectly screwed together you don't

think this car is ever going to develop

a rattle also it looks very very sporty

it's also super easy and logical to use

i love the air conditioning controls for

the ventilation system look at that

you've got your fan in that one you've

got your temperature set in there then

you've got your direction for the

heating here it's all very clever i also

like the fact that you have your drive

select mode for your different driving

modes on the steering wheel in other

areas you have to press down here so

it's annoying when you're driving they

should

do it like this on all of them this car

because the performance model has an

extra sporty button there where you can

control the

different performance modes which is

really nice

you don't get that on the rear wheel

drive version or the normal quattro

model it's a bit of a shame

there's a storage it's a supercar you

can't expect too much but

you've got a little storage tray under

there and this one has one it's charging

for your mobile phone

but if you've got a big phone like my

galaxy

s20 in a case it ain't fitting it

doesn't fit so you can have to charge it

the old-fashioned way using the two usbs

there and you got a 12-volt socket as

well there if you need it

the glove box is a good size look at

this i can fit

that flask in this way that's incredible

really

if only i could fit the flask in the

door bins as well because that'd be

handy when i'm driving along if i want

to

drink now the seats yeah we've got nice

leather seats and high spec versions

actually have bucket seats these aren't

them but they're still nice

anyway love this interior and if you

need to squeeze some coats and stuff

inside the car with you you can just lay

them all on this shelf here and there's

a

little little luggage net there as well

that's it for the interior really it's

simple

it's nicely designed and it's

comfortable yet very sporty

anyway let's check out the practicality

so i'm going to open

the front boot to go see what it's like

the capacity

of this fruit is just 112 liters by

comparison

porsche 911 turbo s's boot is 132 liters

and of course it has the added benefits

and backseats which you can fold down in

fact if you'd like to watch my in-depth

video review of that card and see how

quick that thing is from naught to 60.

put a little link in the top right hand

corner of the screen you click on that

you can go watch the video there's also

a link in the description below anyway

look at this

this is all you've got here that's

that's your luggage space

and it's made worse by the fact it's

quite narrow i'll go straight there

normally you can get into these boots

quite easily

in the front of these cars but not like

this one in fact right can i kind of get

in it let's see

oh let's see my hips are quite narrow

[Music]

what's going on where are we going

what's oh my don't go on bloody track

that brings one to five nine things

about this car the cup holders

are just underneath here they're better

nine look at this right

they're not quite tight enough to hold

the energy drink securely so when you

accelerate

it's gonna topple out and spill

caffeinated liquid everywhere

and then look another issue is this when

you have got things in there

it's just like in your way

when audi updated this car as part of a

midlife facelift they went and fitted a

soft limiter to the engine so when it's

stationary you can't rev it

past 3000 rpm so you can't enjoy

the v10

listen it just stops you ripping it

you can't show off to your friends to be

a hooligan you can't even do that thing

when you're driving along and pull both

paddles spray into

neutral and then rev it when you go

through a tunnel it just does this

just the same i'm paying for a v10

engine

let me hear it swipe out the cruise

control you get with this car

is just the old fashioned basic system

you can't get

adaptive cruise control with lane

keeping assist which you get a standard

on

a toyota yaris rubbish i love that

feature but you can't get it

and it's gonna be annoying because you

might want to take this car on a really

long road trip

and at some point you'll be on the

motorway which is boring and it'd be

very helpful

why we've got it audi why believe it or

not this car actually has

isofix anchor points for a child seat so

you can take your baby

to daycare in your r8 that is

unless you go for the rather cool bucket

seats because then you lose the isofix

functionality shane

anyone who says that the audio rate

isn't a supercar normally you can just

say

well it does over 200 miles an hour

therefore it has to be a supercar

not a sports car however the rear wheel

drive only version its top speed

is 199 miles an hour

i just don't understand why audi didn't

manage to get that one over the 200 mile

an hour mark as well

thankfully this car has plenty of cool

features to help make up for all this

here's five from performance models and

above you get common from it brakes as

standard which is great if you want to

take your r8

on track the range up in carbon black

also gets

adaptive dampers which only cause

magnetic ride because it uses magnets

in them now if you have magnetic ride

fit to the car and you can

fit it as an option on the other r8 then

you get

stiffer anti-roll bars and they're made

out of a mixture of aluminium and carbon

fiber

the r8 is largely hand built to audi's

special

bollinger hoffen factory and it's

actually built by the same guys that

build

the gt racing cars in fact 50 of these

cars parts are shared

with the gt3 model the rear drive

version of the r8

is 65 kilos lighter than the normal

quattro because you haven't got the

all-wheel drive system

it also has a special drift mode so this

is slightly different to having all the

stability control off because it

actually lets you do big drifts

but it controls them for you so you can

look like a pro

even though you're just semi-pro i love

the way the engine cover just opens

so elegantly now if you look carefully

you'll notice that the engine is

actually offset so

camera man jack if you just move to the

middle of the car you'll see it's not

symmetrical with the audi badge if you

move back

you'll see there's the middle of the

engine now that's obviously for

packaging reasons to do the gearbox and

stuff like that

however in a lamborghini this brace

remains central so it looks a bit

odd so you can tell it's offset that

easy and it's a bit kind of

annoying whereas with this audi they've

moved the brace across

as well so it's symmetrical so when you

first look at it as long as you're not

dead rear on you can't really tell that

the engine is offset

which is pleasing for people like me

with ocd the r8 uses a aluminium space

frame chassis just like a racing car and

it's reinforced with carbon fiber so

it's nice and stiff

perfect for the girls and some of the

boys

i've been looking forward to filming

this part of the video because it's a

freezing cold day and i can warm myself

on this hot engine it's a 5.2 liter

naturally aspirated lamborghini derive

v10 and it drives either the rear wheels

or all four wheels via a seven-speed

dual clutch automatic gearbox now in the

rear-wheel drive version you have 540

horsepower and 540 newton meters of

torque

in the normal quattro model you have 570

horsepower

and 560 newton meters of torque and in

this performance version you get the

full

620 horsepower and 580 newton meters of

torque

interestingly that's 20 newton meters

less than you get from the 2.9 liter

twin turbo

v6 in the rs5 and if you'd like to see

my video review of that car

put a little link up there popping out

now it should be click on that or follow

the link below the video to go watch

that

one of the things i really love about

this audi r8 is that while it's a four

wheel drive audi

you can go full hooligan mode so if you

turn all the safety systems off

put in dynamic mode it can pretty much

send most of its power to the rear

wheels

now cameraman jack has just bought

himself an e

46 m3 he likes being a bit of a hooligan

in it

especially when it's done thing is in

this supercar i can behave

just as badly which is insane when you

think about it

and it's really really easy to do as

well

[Music]

let's go the other way

[Music]

and the other way

[Music]

and of course you don't look like some

silly boy racer

because you've got a proper proper

lovely

supercar addy says this car can do

naught to 60.

in 3.1 seconds but let's see what it'll

really do so i've got my specialist

timing gear up here

slippy track cold tires who cares

it's an audi r8

oh the cockhead a lot

of rubbish now that was rubbish

right and i still did a 4.48 it's

one of its wheels a bit then bogged

still did that let's give it another go

okay let's try again

hook up better that time

oh it's going for it oh got 3.13 and he

was still spinning

whoa madness madness

madness a 3.13

and it still wasn't a perfect start yeah

because the quarter mile is 11.16 i know

go a lot quicker than that let's try

again

come on let me set this hope you're not

getting bored

i'm not i'm enjoying this let's do it no

that wasn't so good

god all skipping sideways come on what

we got

oh yes we did it

naughty sixty in three seconds dead

even though this thing was going

sideways slightly

immense and what a soundtrack to

accompany it as well

such drama in fact don't have a play

with the engine

[Music]

okay manual mode just oh

i love the dolls as well

v10 for the win v10 for the win in fact

what do you think is the best sounding

engine configuration

what i've done is put a pin comment

below this video right with

the selection you vote which you think

is the best

combination right

obviously there's no point having all

that performance if the card doesn't

stop

so i'm gonna do a break test from 70

miles an hour

see how long it takes to come to a

complete standstill

bring in mind it's slippery let's do it

[Music]

come on

come on right let's see what this says

how many meters

48 meters 48 meters

even though it's slippery that's good

[Music]

oh it's so good and it's so easy to

drive fast this thing

as well some performance cars they can

be a little bit unruly this is dead

simple my mom could get in this and just

hoon it

she could absolutely she'd love it as

well i reckon

absolutely love it gearbox really quick

and reactive

i can't fault the handling this thing

just grips like a good one it gives you

loads of confidence as well when you

want to

get on the power of a corner and with

that quattro all-wheel drive it can

just mean it sends some power to the

front so you can really hold yourself

out of a corner

so very good so much fun when you want

it to be and

in some ways too quick for the road

really really is

but if you just want to daily this car

you can do because it can be quite

chilled so

drive select let's go into comfort mode

this one's fitted with adaptive dampers

i'm going over a gnarly bit of track and

it's actually doing a really good job

soaking up the bumps no problem at

all and then you can just cruise around

it's actually not that bad to drive in

town over speedups and things like that

the only problem is the rear visibility

but you've got a really nice reversing

camera i'm just going to show you it now

the actual image is right there in front

of you

on the instruments so it's good and you

get the lines which help you turn as

well so that's handy

don't be reversing up the track though

not great

and then when you are just pooping about

and you're an automatic the gearbox is

nice and smooth and relaxing

and forward visibility it's great

really nice big windscreen low scuttle

so the dash is nice and low so you can

really just where the front of the car

is

i do love the r8 i have done for ages

great great car

and less in your face than the

lamborghini i certainly prefer the

interior and find it just more

comfortable to travel in

over longer distances than the lambo

even though

you know underneath the skin very

similar to the hurricane

but being naturally aspirated yeah it

doesn't quite have that pulling power

it's an engine you absolutely have to

ring its neck and it's worthwhile doing

that

[Music]

look i'm at 6000 rpm and i've still got

almost 3 000 reds to play with just

utterly nuts

in fact let's turn up the volume into

performance mode

i could just do this all day long or

until the fuel runs out

oh no wonder i'm only averaging 16 miles

to the gallon

oh well who cares probably the siberian

tigers

kind of killing the habitat probably

with all the greenhouse gas i'm

producing

so then what's my final verdict on the

audi r8

should you avoid it should you consider

it should you shortlist it

or should you just go right ahead and

buy it well i reckon

if you like this kind of car just go

right ahead and buy it

it's absolutely brilliant and

surprisingly good value for money
