Audi R8 V10 GT RWD Review: The LAST R8 

original looks better than new one lol.

So much facts, same reason I fell in love with cars.

@@kalmmonke5037 personal preference

@@kalmmonke5037 L opinion, no common sense

@@shadowkillz9606 2018 looks better than 2019 one, less complex and more harmonies between liens in light and grille. but oldder rear end r8 was more 3 dimensional interesting looking, i wouldnt mind usign that theme a front too.

I have to agree on this one. New electric cars are nice to drive yes but they are little soulless for me and its mostly because of the lack of sound. Its might make driving for me just a way to get from a to b and as a guy who likes driving hurts a lot to admit.

EV driver here who also loves the R8. And all things Audi. I hear you. But like warm natural sounding vinyl vs digital audio, ICE will live on in the automotive equivalent of independent record stores - track days. Carpe sparkem.

Frrr even in my mk6 gti or my Freinds w8 Passat

So true...flying in a 767 is nothing compared to driving an American 8, Japanese 6 or NA 5....IF you can hear that exhaust and engine

*Knew

Sadly I'm too poor for that

@@opshredderytp count me in 🥲

If loving the N/A R8 V-10 over an EV version is considered being left behind, then I’ll gladly get off the train now and stay here thanks!

@@993mike Amen

good to see at least someone drive it how we all wish we could drive it

Don’t. These will be bubble wrapped in some collector’s garage, waiting to be flipped. Buy the normal R8 RWD and drive the balls off it! 😅

💯 agreed!! I almost cried when I heard about the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae being the last hurrah for that iconic engine and car... 😟

@@aswinkumar4452 🥲🥲

@@aswinkumar4452 but Lamborghini V12 isn't going anywhere. The Aventador succesor is on it's way with glorious V12. It's gonna be hybrid, but who cares, at least it still makes noises and it's gonna be even faster. But it's probably the last Lamborghini to use ICE and that's sad.

me too bro😪💔

And Ferrari, they are keeping the V12 alive.

@@riley4198 true.. One last generation before it goes all to shit

@@riley4198 Same with Porsche regarding the 911 GT3

Lets hope not. Of they will be bought and stored like many others 😢

@@_Atomic_impact They have sold before release so even if you wanted one they went to audis select group. It's the same with the last TTRS they have 11 to the uk and they again were sold before even being built.

it literally said in the video they are only making 333 so no shit lmao

R8s are not known to be collectors items despite it being limited. So we're safe for now !

I liked all of it but the conclusion "yes the R8 is dead but I'm hopeful the replacement EV is going to be brilliant", I'm sorry but this is a sad moment, we need to have a minute of silence for what was once beautiful, no EV is going to provide the joy you get from a singing high-cyclinder engine like the Lamborghini derived V10! I wish legislation would target high-volume production cars, leave anything that has a production run under 1000, then surely we can still save the ICE in the north pole and the ICE in the car!

@@The24Gamer EV is only good for torque and straight line performance, that's it.

@@farishanafiah8461 @Sadly a lot of people, who I can assume have never been in a high performance petrol car, see the numbers and declare "Tesla Plaid is far superior than your overpriced supercar", we still seem so focused on 0-60 times, praising the arrival of hyper-torque EVs, not realizing that you lose so much when it comes to noise and agility that getting a sub-3 launch time is just a party trick.

In that time audi was at top of automotive design, R8 started the design legacy and every audi from 2008 to 2012 was beyond beautiful.

for real, these years have been full of goodbyes

It was the same gen. Later, but still mk1

As always !!

Why did you have to sell? What did you get next?

@@Sketches8 I was running my Golf R at the same time. Was about to buy a house again and then the markets went so did nothing at the moment.

Fun > Performance

I'm 23 and I believe I was born in the worst possible time to be into cars. People born in 80s and early 90s had their chance to buy supercars relatively cheap. And people born in 2010s and up won't even know these cars so they won't care. And I'm fcked, I know these cars pretty good, I grew up seeing them and I won't be able to ever buy them. Even with a lot of hard work, they're already going up in value and by the time I could really afford them in todays situation, they'll be worth millions...

@@Krzysztof_88 one hundred percent bro bu the time I can afford these things they will be way over priced and most likely not being made anymore even worse they will be replaced with electric vehicles extremely sad

@@Cumshot-millionare Exactly my thoughts. Basic Audi R8, even some V8 ones, are going to be over 500k USD in just few years. Mint V10 ones are already going up and they're like 120k. Manual Murcielagos are now in chase to be a million dollar car...

@@Krzysztof_88 it's ridiculous man this like era I guess you could say that we were born in has just been completely ruined with everything cars jobs etc I do now wanna even think about the shit that could happen in the future

Why? The v10 is two of the 5 cylinder engines on a common block

@@dlg78 The V10 cannot continue due to emissions so a 5 cylinder with a 48 volts electric assisted turbo to eliminate turbo lag would be a nice solution. The electric assisted turbo will also help to achieve a better exhaust note because it will not depend has much from the flow of the exhaust gases to move the turbine. And if they did like Mercedes did with the new C43 AMG they can also use a more powerful starter motor that will also be used to give at least 20 more horsepower and 200 newton meters of torque without adding much weight. That stronger electric starter motor would help the combustion engine at low rpm and so too eliminate turbo lag. Overall the car would be much lighter. Like you said, its half a V10 and the exhaust note will be similar to it. However a 5 cylinder has a very special exhaust note its similar to a V10 but not quite, it has its own distinctive sound, if they can make the engine spin until 8500rpm it will have a similar sound to the Audi Sport Quattro Group B rally car of the old days.

@@mikaelgaspar9547 Audi are to be discontinuing all engines, even the 5 pot. The v10 being discontinued isn't due to emissions as it has cylinder on demand and runs on 5 cylinders on cruise.

@@dlg78 I didn't knew that.

I'm sad that they both will be the last of their kind. But what a way to go !!!

But then, the vette misses 2 cylinders and is ugly as hell. And it’ll never touch the image of an R8 it can be as good of a car as it wants.

Wet track

@@AutoTraderTV Ok, makes perfect sense. I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming 🙌🏾
