Is this the best everyday supercar? Watch our NSX review: th-cam.com/video/pTw8T4cr_6c/w-d-xo.html
whens the v90 review
"Two Friends In A Supercar" is awesome!
Omg dudes, finally ? Hahaha
The NSX is going to be more reliable with better gas mileage. It also has torque vectoring and silent mode. I think it looks better too. Who cares about a loud engine and exhaust? The NSX wins.
Sexy car but too many fake vents
"I respectfully disagree " yep definitely a Canadian argument 😂
I love it when they argue, seems they are not and it drives me crazy. Here in Asia arguments brings out the best on people hahaha
I’m Canadian but I never said that... maybe cause I’m also 50% Finnish....?
Hottest one I’ve seen all year 🤬😂
yea with this man
Canadians are very polite people man
“The new R8 is ugly!”
*owns a Prowler*
😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣
Only good or nothing about the Prowler...
Adam J hurt his feelings
Yes!!
It either you really love the Prowler or really hate the Prowler.
I remember seeing the R8 as a kid and it was the coolest car to me
Now it is still awesome to this day
He said only 13 years later
R8 is nice
It’s nice. I have a v10 2012 😄
lol c'mon again
400th like
Yuri cannot comment on looks cuz his favourite car is the prowler
prowler is a cool car; i'll bet you hate pineapple on pizza too. :P
@@SpaceMissile it's cool alright ...if you THE BATMAN ! 😁
@@SpaceMissile nah pineapple on pizza is good but the prowler 🤢
Unpopular Opinion: the R8 looks better and is better than the Huracán 🤒
I like the r8 because it has the v10 of the hurcan without the showiness
Tmk Lancia it’s V10 in reality feels nothing like the Huracan. The Lambo is plain better, however the R8 is more daily driveable
Small SHAQ “More Daily drivable”. They are both daily drivable and there is no difference other than design and aerodynamics
Excactly how I feel.
Attention can be a large part of reason for buying a supercar. In that aspect, r8 is bad.
Small SHAQ the huracan is so dam overrated
8:41
"Taillights look good!"
"They're sequential!"
**Proceeds to not show it working as a sequential taillight**
"Do fake grills upset you?"
YES
It have fake vents becouse its a base for GT4 and GT3 cars. The vents are useful in racing series not exactly on streat legal R8.
TheEryk Thats not true at all 😂
@@nikomoin7604 That is one of the Audi R8 engineers statement. I think that AUDI engineers have better knowledge than random moron on you tube.
@Eli Empire new Supra also have fake vents becouse its a base for a GT3 car.
TheEryk than take a look at the gt3 car and tell me where those functional vents are
When they get 1,000,000 subs, they will find a way to get 20 cylinders.....
@@BIGGELATO they said in the video the more subscribers they get the more cylinders they will get.
The problem is nobody makes cars with more than 16 cylinders. Therein lies the jokes. Even 16 cylinders is extremely rare.
@@greatsayain Bugatti is the only 16 cylinder motor available publicly right?
5-way hot hatch showdown?
You can get trucks with v24 engines, extremely rare and not worth the huge premium
@@keithgatzke5390 I've done some research and yes that is correct. The only other 16 cylinder cars I could find are concepts that were cancelled or haven't made it to production yet.
“Take a look at these headlights” all I see is dirt but yes thats where the headlights would be.
I bought the new R8 Performance Spyder. Three reasons I opted for this over a Lambo, after having had a Lambo in the past: 1.) performance is about the same, in fact, I think this car is faster than my Lambo was, but the maintenance is much less expensive 2.) Audi reliability 3.) Love the naturally aspirated V10 (sound, powerband, wow) and this and Lambos are the final V10's that remain
Hows it treating you three years later my guy.
Genuinely curious
It's called the everyday supercar for a reason
The first gen R8 to me will always be known as the “Iron Man” Audi that’s why I love too Yuri it’s just classy and iconic
Yeah definitely prefer the curvy look of the old R8 than the current edgy one.
This is the last of the R8’s. Audi is now gonna focus on electric. The V10 will be known as an iconic sound.
Yeah they might focus on electric for 4-5 years then go back to this... Don't worry...
@@zolikoff keep telling yourself that
No need to tell myself anything, it's obvious that a proper hybrid supercar with an engine is much better than an all-electric one. Making the engine-electric motor synchronization is already advancing fast.
Electric motors are awesome, specifically as a way to boost engine performance.
@@zolikoff It's harsh I know as a car guy myself but it is happening. All cars will be electric soon.
All cars will be electric sure, but not all will be exclusively battery electric. A hybrid is still called "electric" by manufacturers.
9:51 Yuri's best face yet

So were those winter tires you were running in the review? If so, which ones?
@Neman Momand AWD/4WD has not much to do with stability in bad weather. Good for getting out of a ditch or steep incline. Tires matter.
I'd assume they are running winter tires due to temps and speeds. No way they running those Contenintals summer tires in snow/slush.
@Neman Momand Here to correct a little bit. Tires do matter, as Quattro and other AWD/4WD systems can't do all the work by themselves. Imagine running slicks in winter, I'm sure that would be quite problematic and something they wouldn't be able to handle. Always use summer/winter tires whichever is more appropriate for your environment :)
They were Pirelli Sottozero 245/30R20’s on the front, 295’s on the rear.
Yuri you own a prowler.
Don't talk about looks.
I picked a 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus after I track drove both the NSX and the R8 in Vegas. The V10 and the interior if the R8 just sealed the deal for me. 👌
Thinking about it
“What downshifts and upshifts like that?”
Porsche PDK: Am I a joke to you?
I was about to type this lol
PDK is way faster than any other road car DCT till date....
Sourabh Sahukar THANK YOU
Didn’t VW design the PDK anyways? 🤷🏻♂️
Dylan Basil They designed the first Dual clutch transmissions, but not Porsche’s
Good video and I am glad it was in Winter. Seeing you guys have fun with that much power in the snow made me want an Audi R8. Thank you.
"It's Quattro season baby"
*Owns a Volkswagen GTI*
This might be the coolest car I’ve seen you guys review.
Nice job!
The car is super cool.
Love the interior.
I'm shocked you guys are below a million subs. You're informative, entertaining, and you have excellent production value! I hope the channel continues to grow!
Just love your dedication and enthusiasm, last night watched a video it was 38 degrees where you were, today its minus 4.5
Maaaan! I was rewatching some videos yesterday and I was wondering when there was gonna be a R8 video! You’re the freaking best!
Yessssssssssss I was hoping you’d review this car!!! Your opinion is the only that matters to me and I’m thinking of purchasing this car
The video i've been waiting for!
BEEN WAITING TO WISH YOU GUYS A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! To my fav automotive YT'rs!
3:07 Just, just watch Yuri's head...
pinned
lol
Totally exaggerated for effect tho 🤔
@@rkshn no, but his delayed reaction is more than telling
I remember someone said in an rs6 video, they said audi tried putting real vents everywhere in the rs6 but it caused more drag, so they just filled it in, I'm assuming same philosophy here. Feels bad man :c
That makes those fake vents functional and hence ther aren't fake??
Mat watson from carwow
Mat Watson carwow a few days ago.
@@randomperson1614 They're fake because they look like vents. It should be a normal part of the body instead
@@weasle2904 people seriously get way too butthurt about that. Who cares?! Its function is there for design. That is a function therefore they aren't fake because they are vent designs meant for looks and aerodynamics.
Love the energy of these 2 guys!!
Hey! I found your video looking up info for my dream car, the R8 V10. I know nothing about cars but I hope to learn more about super cars in the futures. Thank you so much for this video!
Lol I literally subscribed and then he said "thank you" and I freaked out
I must admit, the 2020 Audi R8 has a much better look then the 2017s and 2018s. At first look at the 2017 and 2018 models, I wasnt a big fan of the front but on the 2020 model, they fixed it! And who can miss those exhaust pipes! Dream car has now been fixed 🤣🤣
Facts
Great Content Love All the Videos!
Love these guys and really love their friendship!
We need a supercut or compilation of Yuri being pinned by the acceleration of all the cars.
I had them both, and i though the NSX felt more modern and futuristic but the sound of that sweet v10 from the R8 it's amazing. I didn't notice the difference in shifting gears speed between them but then again, I wasn't really testing that.
Over all, I really can't tell you which one is better than the other because at the end I woke up and realized that I was just dreaming.
Love love love it when you start with the exhaust note!
Love that you got this to drive in the snow, it is the real deal many of us find ourselfs in. Anyone can move to California but you tough it out. It is a supercar and it standss out because of the V10. I like the subtle look a lot too. You should check out that broscience guy on his gnarpm channel, he had his R8 straight piped. Insanely loud.
I actually love how the previous gen looked.. this one tried so hard to look aggressive but with fake vents on.. that’s a huge turn off
It's Quattro season, baby!
I picked the R8 Performance Spyder and absolutely LOVE it. I helps that I live in Germany and get to enjoy it on the autobahn... and in the Alps... I agree with Yuri that the Spyder looks better. The other side benefit of the Spyder is that I can hear the engine better, even with the top up if you pull down the back window... The air suspension is brilliant, and makes the car remarkably stable and composed at any speed. One recommendation, put it in race mode as soon as you get out of the city. Absolute pleasure to play with that V10 with these amazingly quick shifts....
I can't wait to see you guys in the new Vette and how it compares to the R8 and NSX at a fraction of the price. Love your videos!

SUBARU AWD FOR THE WIN!
front heavy shit ... here in germany the old C7 Corvettes fuck these R8 quattro on the track ...the new C8 will laugh about the Rshit
Quattro ist outdated
kubanskiloewe who are you?
Finally, I have been asking this for over a yr now!!!!!
Great Video!
I do have an R8 V10 Plus and I totally love it! If its not raining I drive with the windows down and that makes a really difftent expirience because the sound is even more agressive. So I would always pick my R8 again, but I think the NSX is awsome too :)
I've never understood why people call this subtle. I saw the concept car when I was like 13 years old and thought I'd never seen anything quite like it... and then Iron Man (2008) came out and this just looked wild and smart and novel. To me it's always been a supercar, no doubt.
Amen!
0-60 is actually around 2.6 seconds. I launch mine all the time and i have noted the time to be around that with the Vbox.
Thank you people call me insane when I told them this is in the 2second range
I really like the screen, so high-tech and driver focused
In my SQ5 (and even in my old 2014 Tiguan) the exterior mirrors moves with memory seat. I did drive the R8 V10 plus last year and yes it is AMAZING !!!!
For sure has the best infotainment system of any supercar
Nope
Now this is a car i can wrap my eyeballs around!
I love how far this channel has come. Well done. #CarryOn
I love watching your videos as they all take place in my backyard! I hope I don't super-fanboy if I ever see you guys out in the wild! ;)
About to sleep. *sees notification from TH-cam "TheStraightPipes"* instant click
It's the underdog subtle supercar. And I love it. Might wanna Trade in my Stinger for it one day 😂
Sad, had my 17v10plus for years and have enjoyed daily driving it hard. Just got rid of it and these guys had to finally review one and make me miss it. Great review as always guys. If you saw a blacked out gen2 r8 tipping it around Mississauga and Toronto, that was likely me lol
I'm lucky enough that my brother owns a 2018 R8 V10 Performance he bought last year. The instant power from that V10 is crazy
I’ve always wanted an R8 since I saw Tony Stark driving it, literally a dream car. That and the Audi Etron GT which is just a concept car for now
What a beauty!!!
5:40 The craziest thing about this to me is how at first glance it just looks like they actually shot it that wide. I'm watching on a side monitor so I'm not looking at it directly but it is dummy smooth.
I agree the first generation R8 wins in the looks department by far!
The Straight Pipes: It’s got Quattro!
Canadian Winters: Ha, goodluck.
I think you dont fully get what Quattro means and stands for in the car industry.
@@Dnk-fs8ks basically 4 wheel drive
I doubt it is the standard Quattro. Plus the tires on it are probably not snow tires.
I have a gen 1 R8 V10 with a manual. It’s a wonderful car that I love love love.

Great review! 👍
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FINALLY, maybe old r8 video too?
"but a cool peasant cause I am in an R8"- well said my friend well said.
2:22 gauge cluster reads 21.3L/100km avg fuel economy. That’s a lot of sends.
It's also winter
Good review, guys 👍🏼
I'm working at the Volkswagen factory in Baunatal (near Kassel in Germany) and we're producing gear boxes. And yes we're producing the gear boxes for the R8. I can remember the first time I saw a DL800 gear box. It was overwhelming. Especially because i've done an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer. My 2nd exam of my apprenticeship was about the DQ200 gear box. It's like the very little brother of the DL800 but it works the same. And I'm so proud that i know how the gear box work and that it got such a big part in the video (For me it was a big part :D ) and (for me even more important) that you pointet out that it can change the gear so freaking fast. Thanks for that!
This is my favorite sports car 🏎️
Yeeees finaly yeeeesss ....
My audi boys where are you❤️❤️❤️
My favorite gen was the previous one because of the elegant exterior, I still really like the aggressiveness of the new one
I am so happy they filmed it in black and covered in dirt. That's exactly how I would get/use it, and I think it looks fantastic!
RS6 review next! :D
I’d say the NSX because:
1: Better reliability
2: Cheaper maintenance costs
3: Cheaper insurance costs
4: More mpg
Less cylinders and if you're paying 200k for a car insurance and maintenance won't matter
Discovered this channel because of Andie the Lab. really glad I did! Hope to see a crossover episode with Andie, probably the two best Auto channels on youtube right now! totally subbed
Andie and Rex will meet one day
I’m nostalgic... the first NSX and R8 generations were game changer!
0:39 No no no... Its not a "Lamborghini engine", stop calling it a Lamborghini engine!
Audi Sport division constructed the current 5.2 FSI V10 engine on the basis of the older 5.2 FSI V10 from the C6 S6, which is directly derived from the 4.2 FSI V8 and shares a lot of its parts. It was meant to replace the Lamborghini-constructed 5.0 V10 for the facelifted version of the Gallardo in 2008. In its current form it was first used in a Lamborghini, yes, but it was constructed by Audi and is made in an Audi factory.
Internally, the 5.0 Lamborghini engine and 5.2 FSI Audi engine couldn't be more different by the way. Pretty much the only thing they have in common is the V-shape layout, the cylinder count and that they are both petrol engines.
The 5.2 engine from audi has been redeveloped by Lambo, so the orginal one it was made by audi (r8 untill 2015), the new variant (huracan and r8 plus, the lp610) is a development of the Audi one. So technically the project started in Audi, but it has been upgraded by Lambo. It's called "Lambo" engine because the new variant was made for the huracan. There aren't huge differences between the two engines, just hp and torque: 525 hp for the audi original one, 610 hp for the lambo version (which is the one in the Huracan and r8). The new Huracan, performante and evo, have a newer development, the lp 640.
I do love this vehicle and if money was no object I would have one in my garage
finally! been waiting for the r8!
this format with the huracan evo would be amazing
Yuri really has one of the weirdest tastes 😂😂
He did actually own Prowler, that alone explains something
Thank you
@@GRiiZZ doesnt he still have it?
MFNovaldo I would love to own a Prowler, it's been my dream car for years now but we don't get them in these quarters of the world.
MFNovaldo that‘s what I was referring to as well 😄 but I love him, it‘s great seeing people have such a diverse taste in cars/clothes/etc.
I seriously thought about buying one of these until I drove one of the older V10 manual R8’s. The new one has more Horsepower and shifts faster but the car is 1000 percent better with a manual transmission
Every car is better with a manual
Get the v8 one wish they brought it back
They always have contrasting opinions of all the cars that they drive .... And I love it 👍
Love this car. the way it drives, looks, everything.
That V10 is Audi’s, the one is the hurican is the same exact engine.. all Audi, it’s not a “lambo” engine whatsoever
True! That's why you see Audi rings on parts under the hood of the Lamborghini!
Christopher Loader exactly
That engine is developed in Lambo, so it's a Lambo engine, not the other way around. It's actually one of the few things that audi has taken from Lambo, and they couldn't pick a better part to put in their cars.
Lorenzo Volt you’re incorrect, it’s developed by Audi
@@nolansheehy4407 No, it's not. The original project of that 5.2 engine was developed by audi. But the new version (after 2015) it's developed by Lambo (it's just an upgrade in horsepower and torque , the lp-610. So the project started in Audi but then it has been developed by Lambo.
AUDI R8 = MASTERPIECE! And it looks AMAZING!!!
Great intro, love the interior colour too :D
You guys are living the life
16:32 my mom old Lancia memory seat also configured the mirrors... Seems possible for Audi :-)
lol my 2006 C-class adjusts the mirrors and steering wheel with the memory seats
My 2001 BMW 525i does memory mirrors and steering wheel as well.
Just picked up a set of vikingcontact 7 tires. It is indeed Quattro season. 😁
Love the vids guys. Especially the way the whole review is done in the car! Keep it up!
i agree,last gen r8 looks amazeballs
Jakub: "....ALMOST 9000!"
ME: VEGETA?😳🤔
ITS OVER NEIN THOUSEEEND
(get it? Since the R8 is from Audi and Audi is GERMAN)
