I don'T think you should stop doing One-Take... Just do less... After 650+ videos I can understand it's a bit tiring, especially if you don't need the ad revenue. But just do a lot less, like once a week and only deal with the very best cars submitted to you... Funky stuff... rare stuff... etc. I don't think it should go away.
I metioned before - Just pass on the torch to someone else, (Corbyn Goodwin ?!) I dunno, if he doesnt want to do it, but has a huge following BECAUSE of it, maybe pass it on!

Hi Matt I've only ever ridden in an R8 V10 once and even without that I'd be a fan, just for the V10 noise (it's got that Group B Quattro thing). AFAICT from multiple reviews the R8 V10 is already one of those do-it-all all-the-time very fast cars with a pretty linear power delivery - it strikes me then, that if there's one high performance car that suits supercharging (rather than silly turbo pressures) it's the R8 V10. It's the same all-round good thing, but with more (much more) of it. If you know of one lying around, send it to me and I promise I'll give it a good home - blood oath :) PS your good mate Chris once said (of the V10 Plus) that the biggest compliment he could give it was that it didn't steer or handle like an Audi. High praise.
I find it so funny that when Jeremy Clarkson first reviewed the V10 R8 he was so in love with driving the car he was literally licking the steering wheel. Much like how you were giggling and laughing because the dynamic driving experience the car offers is just that hard to match. But the Clarkson mentioned how he felt the car had no personality how he couldn’t imagine the car smiling, and yet failing to mention how much it made him smile driving it. I don’t think anyone else has ever been able to combine comfortable daily drivability with absolute thrilling super car performance in one car. Audi in my personal opinion has made quintessentially the perfect super car.
To launch the non-plus, switch to dynamic, push the TCS button down by the shifter, then it's ready to launch. For the plus models, push the checkered flag button on the wheel and it's ready to go.
of course you get more standard equipent like a wing, carbon blades and diffusor as well as ceramics with the plus if I remeber correctly. so it's worth the money if you want the accessories
Martin Espinoza Which is funny cus i bet most people who claim that the r8 is too tame never drove one. I own a civic si. I think it's slow and ive never driven an r8. Its up there as on of my dream cars though
Seating position is pretty bad, you are pretty much staring at the roofline at 6 foot unless you slouch down like matt is, the convertible is heavy and chassis not near as taut than the competition
Didn't look at the tires or brake pads....THIS GUY IS DRIVING ON PURE LUCK. Ever had a damaged tire burst at 150 MPH? Car is a total right off!!!!!!! I gotta say tho...AWESOME ROAD, AWESOME CAR, AWESOME SUNNY DAY, AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! THANX 4 SHARING, BIGTIME!!!!!!!!!!
My brother used to daily one of these. (Don t know if supercharged from this company). But it was amazing. R8 is the ride you ll ever need. Tbh its basically a huracan.
A positive displacement supercharger is the hardest on the engine compared to the rest. Turbos are not sudden compared to a SC. I think for aftermarket kits SCs typically are more reliable compared to aftermarket turbo kits. Most aftermarket SCs are similar packaging to OEM. Turbo kits are typically thrown in where they can fit it.
turbos are easier on an engine at the same power level. I love superchargers for the average street car. They are more simple, and have fewer failure points. With that being said turbos are more efficient, and will make more power on less boost. They hold a strong advantage when you are trying to make serious power. 600-800 is mild and superchargers still hold several advantages in that range
The difference in power between the two models is only a tune, but the V10 Plus also gives you much better gearing (V10 gives you taller, touring car like gearing) and Carbon Ceramics.
Nicely done Matt. Your linguistic and math skills are on point. Looks like a great kit for the $. Makes me proud of my VF-engineering sway bar end links.
I totally agree, I'd much rather have an R8 than the Huracan. I'll never be able to afford either so it doesn't matter but I'd love to take a roadtrip in an R8.
I said that and i now own my dream car. If you work hard and make smart decisions youll get the car you always wanted. Work/Save buy a house rinse and repeat 4x. 10 years later you can buy whatever car you want. Then youll be bored of it and it will sit in your garage. Not even kidding.
The transmission gearing is different in the plus cars but everything else Mat said is true. Also the brakes are better on a plus car. 4 times the price... but they are better. Carbon Ceramic Brakes are no joke.
I don't know why he's plugging Vincero when I know he's a watch guy, and he should know that you can get a real nice Seiko for the price of those cheap Chinese Vincero's.(Yes, I get that he needs to make money, but I feel like there are better companies to do it with.)
that is the argument of a non watch guy - we all heard this line of non car guys before ;) A car is a car, as long as it drives from A to B thats all that matters ? no - sir - thats not all that matters
What a treat! But I thought I heard a contradiction around 4min where you first say, “Stock exhaust and stock vehicle.” But then say, “everything is stock except the exhaust.” You were probably too excited, I would be!
If I actually had the money to buy this car, I would be one of the two percent who would want an actual clutch pedal. Alas, I along with my beloved manual gearbox am now a relic
Assuming it's the same as other audi's, turn ESC off, pull the shift lever down into S, stand hard on the brake, mash the gas, release brake, and try to keep you lunch down
I just test drove a Hurucan with a VF Engineering Supercharger. It was NUTTTTY. Then it broke on the 3rd pull. Check engine, ECS, AWD Error, limp mode, it then pulled hard to the left. I think it may have snapped an axle.
I can't believe Audi still has the up/down shift backwards on the transmission "stock"/selector. I'm sure the ones on the steering wheel are correct, but the one on the center console should be pull to upshift and push to downshift, but if you look close @ 1:56 it clearly shows the opposite, push forward for upshifting and pull backward for downshifting. You'd think they'd have that sorted by 2017
A turbo car has to be louder to be faster. The catalytic converters gotta go! and the downpipe has to be larger. But you still pretty much correct. I guess you could muffle it down some.
Buy a polarizing filter for your cameras. I’ve watched every one of your videos, massive fan. But, I dislike seeing the dash in the windshield. Can’t wait to see your Porsche. PS you gotta take those fenders off your foxbody.

As long as there are buyers for it people will charge a shit ton of money for it.
It's like the cartels.
@@RS-xx8gz yea but a huracan is 220K+ for just stock, you can get a r8 with 800+ HP for under 200k that is a supercar bargain

"guh hu huh ah auh huh" - matt's goofy laugh, when you know he's actually impressed
3:30 "Still Starship Enterprise!" 3:50 "OOO GOOGLY MOOGLY"
200 whp gain, and you dont choke off that glorious exhaust sound like a turbo would. Fantastic solution!
VF should do Supercharger kits for the pré-turbos Boxster/Cayman. Fewer cars deserve more power than those.
Matt rocks vincero watch... yeah right beside all those rolexes, grand seikos and ceramic omegas you weare vincero,no way

Matt, I keep re-watching older vids depending on what I want to drive!! You do it best, brother!!
of course you get more standard equipent like a wing, carbon blades and diffusor as well as ceramics with the plus if I remeber correctly. so it's worth the money if you want the accessories
Shorter gearing too, wheels..
You'll never see Matt actually wearing one of those pos quartz watches
brdpit he did in the is300 video where he compared the dashboard to the watch
love the supercharger noise!
That Nissan Juke at 2:11 looked pretty special! I want a review on that!
"I love the R8 in general" tbh who doesn't like the R8
Lots of people who drive Civics talk a lot of nonsense about how it's too tame
Martin Espinoza Which is funny cus i bet most people who claim that the r8 is too tame never drove one. I own a civic si. I think it's slow and ive never driven an r8. Its up there as on of my dream cars though
I prefer the first gen for looks and because you can get a manual. But...any R8 is still awesome.

i still think supercharged cars are way more reliable than the turbocharged variants.
no sudden torque shove= easier on the engine.
I don't think so. Both supercharged and turbocharged make boost.
supercharger runs off the engine crank so after time it wears out crank bearings alot faster than a na or a turbo which just runs off exhaust gas
@@MrStinkeyWinkey yes. Nelson engine tuners said the same thing!

I liked this 1 second into the video. I have my ess supercharger coming in tomorrow for my e92 m3 so this video makes me even more stoked for it.

Hhahaha Matt and then 1 of my friends are the only 2 watch guys in the world i am aware of.!

You need to see the mechanisms of some truly special mechanical watches and it’s just mesmerizing and amazing
The transmission gearing is different in the plus cars but everything else Mat said is true. Also the brakes are better on a plus car. 4 times the price... but they are better. Carbon Ceramic Brakes are no joke.
