Is The V10 R8 Worth The Upgrade? 

Lies, you probably own a fiesta you bum.

Aftermarket exhaust and cold start is brutal on the v10

whats it like with the R Tronic gear box? do you have any paddles or can flip it into semi manual?

Pushing about 750-800bhp

Would love to experience a supercharged r8 😍

@@be1441 I had her up for sale but changing my mind so I’ll get her back very soon

@@craigdarlison1483so you’re the person who took it off interesting to see you kept it rather than it selling 🤔

@@richardbrunt5434 wouldn’t sell so will keep Her for summer and see what happens to prices and rates

Which tuner did you go with for your tune?

@@esthetics4512 the R8 GT comes with its own unique map for both engine and gearbox. I've left those stock as the improvements are marginal beyond what they did at factory. It's so marginal it's not worth the cost or giving up my extended warranty 😁

@@esthetics4512 p.s. if I was to go anywhere, it would be RE Performance.

@@sportzntouring sadly I don’t live where Ricky is I’m on a whole different continent

@@sportzntouring people with the Vf engineering ecu and tcu sing a different tune and honestly rightfully so VF ECU tune takes the 525hp and 570hp to 640hp and that is without any aftermarket upgrades exhaust etc personally it’s something I’ll be definitely hopping on and regards to the TCU VF ENGINEERING offers those with it praise it quite highly

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁

I’m not too sure. Was on the car when I bought it

I got there in the end after 2 years fighting Admiral! This orange one had 80k on it. I sold it a few months ago and now own a facelift version

@@be1441 wow…you’re as bad as me for car swapping 😀….is your new one a V8 or v10? It’s good to know it was Admiral…I’ve just swapped my R8 to another provider from them..not very impressive..I guess all’s well that ends well.

@@villaman4818 don’t get me started on Admiral 😂 and yes another V8, but am s-Tronic this time. There’s a video of it on the channel

@@be1441 cheers buddy..Ill watch it now..I’m a little behind. 👍🏾

I know what you mean! We can both appreciate each other cars without any form of “snobbery” if you like. Was great to meet Vish for this video. Great guy and we’ve become friends. Which is what the car community should be all about. Hope you buy your v10 one day mate 👍🏼

@@be1441 thank you sir, I appreciate that🤝

How long roughly did it take?

It’s a firexo 500ml from Halfords

@@be1441 thank you Ben

@@be1441 Not sure if you recall my V8 Spyder caught fire last Christmas, just got a 2018 V10 few weeks ago following the insurance pay out, so I wanted to get a fire extinguisher that was good quality and safe for the components on this engine, should the inevitable happen.

@@rajpatel3513 was this the white one on a driveway? Mine caught fire 3 years ago so I always carry one now

@@be1441 it was on the Marylebone flyover on Xmas eve

The V8 definitely held its own against the v10 😍 sounds like an f1 car

@@be1441 it really does. A V8 never sounds bad really but yours just sounded superb to my ears. Maybe the V10 had a slight bit more of a howl but yours has a lovely gruff v8 sound track and it certainly looks like it goes well 😁 definitely not worth 25 grand extra by any stretch for me

The dyno breaks the v10. Really recommend you don’t do that.

Do you work at Paymentus

@@guccipucci69420 no

@@8647-ux6yx the lfa would be nice to have but it’s way to much for me but the v8 500 is really nice as well it’s so sharp looking

Filmed in Mexico

I’ll hopefully be finding out soon when I get my newer r8 serviced. Would like to do a dyno run before and after

Yes, it makes a huge difference. My V8 had 85k kms and had like 2-3 mm carbon coating in intake ports, valves & intake snouts.

I’m currently doing to clean myself. Video to follow

I’m sure! Be good to do a performance test

@@be1441 definitely! I’ll be waiting for one :)

😂😂😂 see you tomorrow Kev

😍😍😍😍

Your point?

​@@be1441that 'th' isn't pronounced as an 'f' or 'v'

I’ve upgraded my v8 to a facelift s Tronic 👌🏼

What are you dribbling on about? V10 being ruined. 😂

You’re incorrect I’m afraid

@@be1441 please explain

@@esthetics4512 the 5.2 V10 is the same used in the Lamborghini Gallardo…

@@be1441 yes I’m aware of that what I’m saying is audi overhauled the 5.0 from the gallardo to the 5.2L that it currently is think of it like this Porsches 3.8 L and 4L can be bore stroked by DEMAN motorsports which in turn results in the 4.5L engine although the original Motor is from Porsche the 4.5L can’t be called a Porsche engine as they didn’t produce it in this case think of audi as the tuner as they are ones who bore stroked the 5.0l to the 5.2L that’s in the gen2 gallardos and huracans which then makes the 5.2L ENGINE A AUDI NOT LAMBO

@@esthetics4512 makes sense seeming as audi own lambo
