I've noticed ever since I discovered your channel that your ability to capture the cars engine tone so well in combination with the clarity of your voice while doing that is EXTREMELY impressive. Your setup is top notch. Keep on chugging in 2020!
We appreciate that! From our early days we decided to put an emphasis on audio quality, especially when it came to the exhaust/speech audio mix. Glad it's doing it's job well!! :D
I absolutely loved your review of this R8 Plus. At times you made me feel like I was sitting in the passenger seat. By the way, I’ve raced formula cars professionally since 1972. I went to England for three years to race. Let me tell you, race car drivers make horrible Passengers. You made feel right at home. I loved it. I watched your video to learn more about the R8 and you certainly did that for me. Great Video. Thank you, Ted
Just picked on of these up after being a Porsche guy for years. Had to experience the V10 before its gone. I absolutely love it!!! Just need to decide on an exhaust at this point to wake it up a little (although it still sounds great stock).
These new Audi R8s finally look good to me. I couldn’t stand the first generation. This car looks really good and I think the Vorsteiner kit looks pretty good. Brixton Forged, make the car, even though Alex Choi broke the spokes out of his.

50:50 F:R weight distribution isn’t ideal...F1 cars are not 50:50. You want more weight over the rear, especially if the car is RWD. 50:50 cars will spin much quicker and its harder to catch when they do. Rear biased weight also works better when steering with the throttle mid corner, ie 911’s modicum of “never lift” , as doing so throws weight forward lightening the rear and causing that pendulum rear end slide. The modicum should be adjusted to “dont lift all the way” because in a 911 and a R8 you can make the car turn in sharper mid corner by delicately letting off the throttle just a hair. Its awesome when you get used to it. Great vid by the way.
No way! Gated manual all the way. I hate to say it but I'd definitely take a first gen with the V10 and the 6-speed manual. Speed isn't everything. That being said, I'd much rather have a 2nd gen if it also came with a 6-speed as it is the much better car in every other way. So I'm torn!
Great audio quality. I had opportunity to drive first gen r8 with v10 pre facelift and v8 dsg facelift and lamborghini gallardo, r8 is much better in terms of daily usage. I currently own poor mans r8 audi tt 3.2 r32 :) sound of n/a is epic.

40/60 F/R weight distribution is ideal for rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive sports- or super-cars. That's why the Corvette went mid-engine in the C8, to achieve the magical weight distribution ratio and continue improving the platform. The C7 Corvette had a perfect 50/50 F/R weight distribution which was great until they started producing a metric shite ton of power, which caused traction problems. Here's a couple articles about the topic concerning the C7 to C8 which is an ideal platform to study this issue since it went from front- to mid-engine for this very reason: www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a28433801/c8-corvette-mid-engine-engineering-design-interview/ gmauthority.com/blog/2019/10/2020-corvette-gets-40-60-front-rear-weight-distribution-heres-what-it-means/
If you could buy an r8 for 150k and and a huracan for 200k+... I'd buy the r8 and put the difference in savings into a twin turbo kit and the Lamborghini can smd. The r8 is more comfortable and has a bigger interior, no brainer
"Perfect" 50:50 weight distribution is a gimmick used by certain manufacturers use to sell cars. Nothing more. For a mid-engined car, more rear bias just means more traction from to the driven wheels at the expense of a lighter front end which means engineers will have to do more with the suspension and tires to get the handling balanced and to quell understeer (larger rear tires vs front; softer front suspension etc.) . Lift-off oversteer will also be more severe e.g the 911. Lookup the production cars with the fastest lap times at any track, then see what their weight distributions are. I bet none are 50:50.
I give super car drivers a dirty look when they are acting like jerks that's for sure.....I do hope that I remain humble as my quality of life improves.
Serious question. What do you think is the purpose of remaining humble. Are you also implying that people who own and enjoy super cars are not humble?? What is your point.

R8 are really reliable, we have them here in Europe with very high mileage and some people have almost no problems at all. LFA is a limited supercar, this is a normal supercar easily obtainable. Ofc some Germans cars are a complete nightmare in terms of reliability, but this one is very reliable

Design-wise, this 2nd gen pre-facelift version of the Audi R8 is my favorite.
yesss
I use to work on the same block as the owner of this car in kits, miss seeing this parked on the street everyday 🥵

This car is gorgeous! The absolute best example I’ve ever seen of this Gen
Can't wait till you get big enough then collab with someone who has a LFA
Kay Chung I would watch the fuck out of that video, lfa is king
Oh man, the noise they make is absolutely sublime
@@RolandKoller90 oh yeah. The precision, engineering and exhilaration of the car is unmatched.
@@nicwilson89 best in my opinion
@Roland Koller, lmao. Correction, Bugatti is King 🤷🏻♂️😄
Love the R8, beautiful car.
Kicking off 2020 with a bang from a V10 R8 😍
Oh man! Besides from the already great content, your audio work is really great audible voice + great rich tone! Keep it up man! New Sub!
I love the rear wing of the car.
Tell Rick to take off that god awful front LICENSE plate.. CA requires it to and I have never put one on in 35 years..
You hit it right on the nose. I bought one about 3 months ago and you hit just about every point and feeling I experienced
Good way to start the new year!
Agreed!
That's the sexiest R8 I've ever seen. Period.
A more reliable Huracán!
More reliable in what way exactly?....lol
Huracan is worth it, especially the performante

50/50 weight distribution is for front engine rwd cars. I think it’s different with a small bias to the rear for mid/rear engine
Usually go for 44/56 or something along those lines.
Would love to see a video or more information on your recording setup! Great video!!
Agreed!
Holy F🔥Ck ! This is gorgeous !
Sex on wheels!
Dude, come on down to Nashville or Bowling Green Area and we can do a collaboration video on my R8 (Stradmans old car)! This video was great! 🔥
The Car Review Guys I was in Nashville a few months ago! No car, but I did get fat on bbq...
Camouflage green is so nice on an R8...This or tango red for me plz
relentless, or unrelenting - not unrelentless. Otherwise, great video.
Found this channel now and i like it nice video dude you won a new subscriber
That sound, rest is a story.

Is it just me or does the back of the audi r8 look like the back of a lexus lfa
What an amazing car !! Looks way better than the Lambo
What tune has been added to this V10 plus? That was never mentioned, unless I just wasn't paying attention closely enough.
first time coming across your show. pretty nice mate👌👌👌👌 . what mounts do you use if you don't mind me asking??
Me likey this one.
I think you’re up there enough to collaborate with a Bugatti, how about a Chiron or Veyron? But damn I need a V10 R8 in my life. 😍🙌🤘
Stunning car ! Great video
Time for a NA 5.2l V8, maybe?
I really like haw you describe this. ..tune. ...because the heavy and mighty M5 competition ...bought factory stock. . will eat this for dinner
if you dont look at the video and just listen it sounds so much like a huracan...
Dam this is a nice example !
Damn that thing is beautiful! 😍Wow! Let me know when he’s selling it 🙋🏼♂️
Martin Altmann not any time soon 🙃
Understandably so...couldn’t afford it anyway, even with a 72 month loan lmfao
I got dibs on it 💁🏻♂️
Sold to
Me 😬

Who would you suggest to modify a supercar?
I had my evo up to 170 after it was built.
Love it
I love this car and experienced tester.
One of the few cars I'd trade in my RS6 for ❤
Would you still take the 6speed gated manual or are you sold on the dual clutch?
No way! Gated manual all the way. I hate to say it but I'd definitely take a first gen with the V10 and the 6-speed manual. Speed isn't everything. That being said, I'd much rather have a 2nd gen if it also came with a 6-speed as it is the much better car in every other way. So I'm torn!

The poor man's r8 is the first gen v8 rs4/rs5
@@PathosRx i was referring to that tt is a coupe like R8. RS4 is a sedan/estate and rs5 is more GT car than sport car.
is this a 2017 model
Looks like lower mainland?
last Gen had a dual clutch as well 🙄
I want to know the wheel specs and offset that you used
I want that exhaust for my r8... what kind again ?
love it
ohh I appreciate the V10 sound and performance, dont get me wrong.
but,
What I didnt appreciate,, so much talking..
that I did not.
N/A is the best 🙌
Wait Who TF disliked this💪🏿😂🤳🏿
Genuine non hating question. How does this channel operate with the low view counts?
Mohamed Hussein also interested in this, since they have a complete crew behind it and almost no advertising..

The roads look like forza horizon
"kw height adjustable springs" and "still keeps the standard dampening" lost me there
How much oil per 100kilometers this engine needs?
Nah, not really. The average of competitive market
The thing thats funny to me about these R8's is the depreciation value of these cars. In germany you can get a v8 r8 for as much as 40k euro
And you need another 40k to make it 100% fixed.
to get proper one you need +- 70k euro
My son and i past a P1 the other day and that has different wheel sizes 20 front 21 back or whatever. Must say different wheel size looks shit
Why wouldn't you want to go 184 in an evo ? I know i would , yes please.
