Saying goodbye to the Audi R8 V10 RWD - The Ultimate Real-world Test | 4K

- I spent a week saying goodbye to the Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD Edition. It's sad that this year we will see the end of production of the Audi R8 so I wanted to spend a week with the car and see if it really is a supercar you can live with every day.
The Audi R8 V10 Performance has 570 PS from it's naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10. It will do the 0-60 sprint in 3.7 seconds and it will hit 204mph.

Geeeee.....the wife is a happy so and so isn't she!!!! Great car, love my R8!!!
A Huracan in a business suit, an amazing engine in a very understated body which I think helps in its suitability for 'daily' use. Great to see a 'live with' test rather than a ''Wow look how fast this goes'' review.
Thanks. That was the plan 👍
The end of a massively underrated and iconic gem!
Yep 👍
Always had this car on my list of top 5 cars to own. Thanks Peter, that was one of your best videos yet, (and you have had some great stuff).
Great format and well done as always. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Really enjoy the Petrol Ped reviews especially some of the locations you take the cars. Honest reviews without the gimmicks keep up the great work.
Glad you like them!
Wonderful review and excellent content. Very well done PP
Thank you kindly!
I live near Broadway and my daughter lives in Cheltenham. I love that road you drove, a great fast sweeping scenic route. Great vid, great car
Lovely part of the world 👍
A fitting ode to Audi's naturally aspirated masterpiece. Your videos have fantastic sound quality too :)
Wow, thank you!
Brilliant video once again Pete . With a great insight into the practicalities of real world super car ownership. A lottery winners car ! But we can all dream. Keep up the varied and fantastic content.
Glad you enjoyed it
V10 is an automotive marvel, the last of a dying breed and it will be sadly missed mainly that soundtrack from the V10, brilliant content Pete!
Thanks 👍
That sound bloody great
Good morning Petrol ped, what a fantastic video thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you are doing well. Congratulations on the 10k you did you did at Goodwood. Keep up the fantastic work absolutely love the Audi R8 RWD thank you very much for all the hard work you put into the videos
Tristan
Thanks mate 👊
Fantastic 🚗 car......showcasing how much that v10 will be sadly missed! 😁 Great review Pete 👍
Thanks! 👍
Very comprehension review. Brilliant as always. Really enjoyed this one. MPG --- Ouch!!! Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!
First off epic spec car color and wheels. Epic soundtrack the car makes! So sad it’s going away! Also congrats on a new PB!! Great video Sir Pete. Fantastic all the way around! Great to see you and Mrs P in a video together again to!
It sure was sad sending it back 😢😂
Very nice car and a great review.Congrats on the PB for your run.
Thank You 🙏🏻
Congrats on the 10k time. Great car which will surely be missed.
Thank you!
Good review as usual Peter👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
We have a 2015 R8 performance with Quattro. Living in Canada. The AWD is a must have. It’s drive all year round and I must admit that this is even more fun to polite then our 2021 sti heavily modified. I’m rather sad to hear the R8 will no longer be produced. Hoping Audi will return with an even better super car in the near future. Thdkks aging fit this fantastic episode. Always live following you Good Sir.
Love home Mrs PP straightened the steering wheel after parking - correct!
Oh yes 👍
Really good video mate, Lou and I enjoyed that over a glass of red 👌♥️
Ah mate thanks. We loved having the car. T loved driving it 👍
Fantastic video loved it 😍
Thank you so much 😁
Thanks for another wonderful video mate from down under 🇦🇺🏁🍾🥂🌟⭐️
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great review! Astonishing car the R8, one of the last of a dying breed. We’ve been lucky to experience a golden age of motoring in that sense.
Yep 👍
Love the R8. Nice work.
You and me both!
I enjoyed watching the Video and thank you for giving your thoughts about the Model 😊
My pleasure!
Really interesting video. Great to see you looking at real world issue's/problems that I hadn't considered in the context of EVs.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed that, thanks. A really aspirational car, I wonder what we will be aspiring too in the new age?
Good question!
Thinking man’s super car. Well done on the review.
Thanks! 👍
It’s always sounded good, but to my ears the V10 in the BMW M5 sounded better; hollow and mournful. For me, the Audi motor is a little thrashy.
Lovely video too. Appreciate the editing and the blending of review and real life. Very effective.
Yep! That is right up my street. A little understated and classy but lots of fun when you want to boot it 👌🏼
Exactly!
Another really good practical video, thanks Ped. I can see why Audi are phasing the R8 out though. We bought an RS Etron GT and it is slightly quicker than the R8 and handles really well for a car which is so heavy although the rear wheel steering helps immensely. But the petrol consumption of the R8 compared to the very cheap cost of the electric RS GT is a no brainier…….at the moment. However as you stated is another video, of course that will eventually change and the government will claw it back somehow. It is sad to see the end of these iconic petrol cars, but the planet has to take priority. Keep up the great videos!
Evening all. Here I am Sitting in the dark after a day without power, been up since 5am when my new Clarke tent garage decided to self distuct in the high winds.
The windspeed indicator impeller on my weather station also took off and disappeared over the horizon to add insult to my day.
Thank goodness I can still watch PP and others on TH-cam
Hope all is well 👍
Evening Pete, sounds like you enjoyed the weeks ride a little too much. I'm not the biggest of Audi fans. Unfortunately had a couple of A4 Diesels V6 models with bad experiences. Had a few BMW's and the only issues after 5 of them was a damaged Turbo on the 330D, but BMW did me a 50/50 deal, unlike Audi. Enjoy the weekend/ holiday on the slopes.
Very enjoyable video. My wife and I used to regularly holiday in the Cotswolds and we always thought the pub cuisine was as good as it gets.
So good!
❤Another great review of another super car that will be sadly missed 😢
😢
Evening all!! Hope everyone is doing well and has a lovely weekend. Stay safe out there all!
You too!
Wonderful car we going to miss it 🇦🇺🏁👏👏👏Thanks P.P.
You bet
Well done with the run. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Good to see a car like this do the day to day stuff and with your wife driving. It really does tick all the boxes in a unassuming way. Future classic for sure and one you can drive.
Glad you enjoyed it
sad to see one off mine childhood icons end. still love the first gen R8 but great send off
Indeed 👍
Great way to review the R8 Ped. You know, if you keep giving the car the beans, you are not gonna get the economy. I remember Shmee once saying that he got close to 30 mpg out of his G63, whilst every reviewer has always said the G63 was a middle to high teens car if you drove it well. The secret, drive like a saint! I manage 5-10mpg more than I'm supposed to be able to get with my car. Would love to try that with the R8, hehe.
Yeah but that’s no fun 😂
@@PetrolPed True - which is why if I had a supercar, I’d be broke!
Great review Peter. Disappointed not to see some of my club mates that also ran the 10k 🤣
Next time!
Great video , love the Audi R8 ..bit of an Audi fanboy myself 😅
You and me both!
I think Mrs. PP needs her own channel!
Don’t encourage her 😜😂
Very generous of you to allow Mrs PP to drive you to the local for a pint & lunch😂. Enjoyed the vlog. One word of caution though, don’t show your home postcode on google maps - don’t want your fab GTS to go walkies 😮
That is so beautiful. And Tracey, I'm so jealous you have driven a McLaren!
👍
Great car great video like the TT will miss it.
You and me both!
a beautiful car in a fantastic colour combination. the seats being uncomfortable would be a real negative if i could actually afford to buy and run one! the lack of a touch screen would be a massive plus though, much prefer buttons. enjoyed the vid ped.
Thanks Mick 👍
Evening all, it’s the weekend again! Love the car, the colour and especially Broadway
Same here!
Evening Sir Ped, searching out Audi R8’s after this !
Good to hear 👍
Hi Ped
Fitting tribute to the R8. As you know I am also a big Audi fan, and have always had a soft spot for the R8 range, especially the V8. Never been in the position to consider buying new, but the V8 was in contention a few years ago when I was looking at possible used car examples. With some regret chose the 911 Carrera 4 S Cabrio, which in my humble opinion a better and more practical touring car. Never regretted buying that car, guess it’s horses for courses. 😎
Love an R8, great every day weapon! 😎
Mega thing 👍
Love the reversing beeper. Same sound as the one in my Skoda. And that’s where any comparison ends….😂
Hello pal adore these, however, the ice scraper made my blood go cold and I received the goosebumps all over lol 🤣🤣😜🥶👍🇬🇧
😂
Thanks for reminding me why I moved to brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 don’t miss the cold 😂 Cotswolds stunning oh yeh the V10 awesome 😎
Good point 👍
I found this video very interesting, especially the technical information, so a big thank you for the video. It enabled me to compare the Audi with my car. My car has same 0-60 time, my car's top speed is about 10MPH slower, I have 4 WD which I think is better than RWD, mine has CC brakes which I like, I have considerably more luggage space, my fuel consumption over last 1000 miles 23.5MPG (current mileage 87,000 miles), my car's value today is about £30,000, I have just put in a new communication system which I think matches that in the Audi but has a touch screen. You did not cover road tax or insurance but I bet mine would be considerably less (tax £660 insurance £215). Ok my car is 17 years old. Conclusion, although the Audi is a fabulous car and although I am biased, I think I will stick with mine.
👍
Great real world review mate, sounds phenomenal, lottery win stuff! Only other V10 I can think of that sounds better is the LFA.
👍
Carrera GT…come on
@@flatsix245 In your opinion but for me, still the LFA 😉
@@GRfourfun LFA versus CGT is debatable but both blow the doors off the R8
@@flatsix245 I definitely agree with that!
Other than fuel it’s a daily for sure! What a soundtrack….
Oh yeah 👌
Really enjoyed that everyday type review and style…think you might be onto something there over the ubiquitous wannabe Clarkson type YT car channels 👍🏾
I’m always trying something a bit different 👍
Looks like a summer morning in my Glasgow.
R8 are on my top 3 lotto wins
Noise, practically a Lamborghini but not as shouty
Forgot to mention,there was an R8 V10 Audi at last years Brighton Speed Trials running high9,low 10 quarter mile times.I think it was sporting around 1000bhp!
My favourite super car I'd have one in a heart beat it shall be missed 😥
Indeed 👍
Great review thanks 👏🏻 So good to get the 'daily' perspective. In reality I have a bit of a problem with the R8. It is perceived as a 'daily' supercar and a car that you could tour in. In reality its a bit too heavy and, if like other Audi's, numb to use as an out and out performance / sports car. The interior space and MPG means touring is not it's forte, so what is? It's stuck in between a supercar and touring car but actually is not great at either? I may be wrong and if anyone actually reads this they may have actual experience. But of the 2 Audi's I have owned, both fast versions, neither have been fun or interesting. I took both of mine touring and the RS4 was only memorable as it was somehow useless in the snow (despite 4wd) and we almost ground to a halt in Northern France and the S5 was so forgettable even my wife could not remember we went to the Swiss Alps in it, and when we got there even I could not be bothered to drive the passes. For me Porsche and McLaren have daily driving and touring taken care of and are engaging and exciting to drive. I have had 4 Boxster's and 911's and they can all be driven daily and do over 30mpg, car tour for a month with space and comfort and are fast and engaging. Likewise McLaren's, loads of space, stupid fast, engaging and 35+ mpg. Just my thoughts....
With this one being RWD it changes the dynamic of the car a lot 👍
Very brave on those ice covered roads and rear wheel drive. 😳
Tell me about it 😂
Lovely car, thank goodness it did not come with black alloys. Very good video 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
17 mpg 😂
Great video mate
Thanks 👍
Definitely a shame that the R8 will no longer be manufactured, the other part of that is that there are many used ones out there for years to come. I do think however that we can’t say that we will never see an ICE engine like that again, we can’t un invent the “wheel”…..
Was that the 417 you were on when talking about going away… know that horrific road noise anywhere 😂😂😂
Thirsty, but still a beauty. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Oh yes 🙌
I Know the Broadway to Cheltenham Rd well(B4632?) Sometimes go that way to & from Prescott Hillclimb near Winchcombe.Hope you gave it "the beans" up Cleeve hill?! While in Broadway you should have had a blast up Fish Hill on the A44 going towards Moreton-in-Marsh,its terrific with two lanes in your favour most of the way.If we could ever have a closed public road hillclimb(as in France,Italy etc) "Fish" would be right up there.Highly unlikely of course!
Fish Hill is a cracker 👍
ICE taken from us far too soon gone but never forgotten. RIP 😥
Feels like in recent times we have reached the pinnacle of motoring, only for that achievement to be snuffed out by the approaching EV armageddon.
I'm just hoping that alternative fuels will save cars like this beautiful R8, a car that I could never afford but I'm so thrilled it exists.
👍
TTRS (the mini R8) much better for a daily Ped 👍🏻
Yep 👍
Hello all, brilliant car...
It sure is!
Good in depth video. I'm a big Audi fan, but that R8 did nothing for me. I know colour is a subjective thing, but that colour did nothing for that car. Also I think a rear spoiler does finish that car off visually. So that R8 did look a bit bland if not basic. For a £150k car very disappointing. If I was in the market for a supercar with that budget it would have to be a 911 GTS Targa.
I think a spoiler is a must too 👍
some people dont bother scrapping the side windows they just start it and drive.
Drives me mad 😡
Who the hell uses a scraper these days 😬
Is the Aldi for sale
Missing a sound check in the Goodwood tunnel ?? , whatever next !! ( i always give me guzzi one when visiting 👿👿)
Too much traffic 😂
Blimey!.........Driving around in silent EVs in the future is just going to be so boring. You'd want to go for a drive just for the hell of it with that awesome V10 in your ear.
That food looks cracking
It was 👍
Another sad day......!
Yep 👍
Do you still have your mini roaster
Yes. It’s actually 8 years to the day that I picked her up 👍
what's ped short for?
Pedro. My nickname used by friends and family 👍 It’s a play on Petrol Head…Petrol Ped 👍
The struggles - I can’t put my all my luggage in my Supercar 😂 It’s a tough life right enough. In saying that when I go supercar shopping in my imagination looking at some of the supercar dealers on Cars I’ll never be able to afford barring a lottery win I do take certain things into consideration still MPG (I know) and would my Mother be able to get in and out😂 and luggage space. I did
Glasgow to London using Waze on the phone stuck to the window and I’d love that in my MINI F56 as it does have a screen but not Apple play 😢 as it was one of the first on the roads factory ordered. The MINI Coop on that journey did 55mpg real and said 61 mpg in the computers over 868 miles. 👍 £98 in fuel if memory serves. But yes it’s not a screaming V10 only a V3 😂 and who wouldn’t want to experience that Audi but maybe not on motorways all day but the highlands absolutely.
I want to spend a week with an R8, but I doubt Audi will lend me one even if I wanted to splash some cash. 🤷🏼Woooaaarrrrr huh uh huh.
I am extremely sad seeing the end of these cars as a true petrol head . No more TT , R8 soon the RS3 all to go electric the environmentalists are killing the ICE cars I am angry 😡 and sad 😢
Yep 👍
Does it do android auto?
I think so 👍
Hello mate
Hi 👋
Evening All tgippf🎉
Evening! 👋🏻
Hi 👋
That opening shot! What a noise! Which is why this vid is my go to piece of car porn!
th-cam.com/video/XflP9D53slY/w-d-xo.html
Sad to see the R8 go but glad you got to enjoy it! 👍🏻
Where were the dogs? 🤔
In the foot well 👍
@Petrol Ped Bless 'em. Great analogy of a legend we'll sorely miss.
Give me a quattro version and then you are talking about a Supercar for me that I could maybe do the jump up from 400 bhp without a helmet and instructor.
😂😂😂
"Well done".......oh dear.
🤷♂️
Who in their right mind uses a ice scraper these days 😬…especially on a literally brand new V10 R8 🤦♂️
On the window 🤔 What’s wrong with that. By far and away the best and quickest way to clear the windscreen 🤷♂️
@@PetrolPed you are kidding me right 😁…..the quickest and most efficient way to clear ice or frost from your car windows is by using hot tap water in a jug or kettle…and please don’t tell me you think it’ll crack the windscreen 🤦♂️…pour it on and get going…much better than using that plastic scratching device you got free with a travel mug you bought at a service station
Good luck with that 😂😂😂😂
I’ll stick to my scraper thanks. Make sure you’re got Gavin from Autoglass in speed dial 🙄😂😂
@@PetrolPed I’ve been using this method for nearly 30 years of driving and never has it caused any damage to any windscreen..from Mk3 Ford escorts all the way to modern Porches……time to maybe rethink about the way you de-ice your cars, it’ll be a game changer for you 😉
Porsche replacement?
I wish 😂
@@PetrolPed oh go on. It really suits you and Mrs PP 😁
German cars
Who defrosts the car like this? Just turn on and leave for 10 minutes..ditto seats and back windscreen….
Much quicker this way 👍
the biggest cargo ship pollutes more than 50 million cars do; the first 17 cargo ships, more than all the cars in the world. The aviation industry accounts for up to 3.5% in total yearly emissions while the total road transport accounts for 15%. From these 15%..only 45% are passenger cars.. and from these 7%...how much would possibly be sports cars... 0.0001%...0.001%. It amazes me the nature of our laws and what we permit legislators to do.
If, instead of focusing on cars, would clean the aviation and maritime transport, the effects, improvements would be drastic; but, we need to kill v10s in sport cars and produce 3 tons electric crossovers with gazzillion hp in order to "save" our planet. 🙄🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
