The 2022 Audi R8 Is the End of the Line for the V10 

I just bought my first vehicle with a center screen last year. I really wanted a screen. Now that I have it, it’s nothing special. When I buy another car I won’t care about a screen

I, for one, absolutely hope that this trend takes off. There are so many cool cars from the 2000s and 2010s that will be seriously desirable one day due to being the last of the gas generation but they will be ruined by their interior screens that are difficult to change. I really want to buy a land rover LR4 and cant bring myself to accept a 2k immediate expense to change the screen just to lose functions...

Yep, nothing ages a car more than old tech. In some ways I find early 2000s cars without a screen less 'old seeming' than mid 2000s ones with 15 year old screen tech.

Buggati does the same with their cars

Yup. Same with that new Chiron

It's alright to say good bye to the car early on.

Thanks for letting us know your opinion!

Original? They stole the back end from the Murcielago.

Litteraly just a cheaper lambo, original lmao

@@ovs4744 first production car to have led headlights

Because you only drive a Hurracan when the weather is perfect.

@@NinjaRunningWild Same Thing with this R8. you’re not gonna drive this in the heavy rain or snow lol

That's why I'd pick r8 over huracan anyday.

Yeah I have an R8 and was like Ummmm Doug your wrong lol(I wasn't gonna say anything tho) Haha

@@1Interloper is he right about the centre console storage? There is that little chrome thing on the side which looks like it would be a button to open a bigger console bin, is it just a chrome decoration?

Hopefully your dreams comes true

Same here dude those are awesome cars

Agreed 💯

I loved both R8 models, but you're right. Audi even had the guts to stick a V12 TDI into the R8 too like the Q7.

Me too. I drove one (just a test drive, thank you Audi dealer), it looked stunning and drove just as well. I think they missed a trick not calling the second gen the R-10 and the next the R-e.

Looked more classy too.

The original R8 just looked nicer overall. It looked far more appropriate for the price point. The facelifted one just looks cheap and too much like an ordinary Audi sedan when you look at all the details. I especially don't like the honeycomb pattern plastic grilles. They just dont belong on a supercar imo. The original R8 was truly special.

I agree

@@drippgxd I agree. I also agree that most Audi's are poo poo along with their poo poo engines and poo poo transmissions. I think BMW and mercedes are much nicer than poo poo.

Bugatti did the same thing and yea it actually makes a lot of sense.

@Catholic Firefighter then some prefer cars that look like they're from the 70's. what's wrongwith that ?

Because the "Doug score" doesn't take into account the class of car, it's less practical than a SUV so it get's a low score. Yeah... A stupid scoring system.

@@ChuckFickens1972 still, he could’ve given it a 3

@@Incrazyboyy Yes, I had the same thought. There are other vehicles in this segment he gave a 3, this should get one as well. Also think it got shafted a point on value.

It's a supercar which doesn't have as much space as an SUV, less space fore passengers like a van, uses about as much gas if not more than a pickup truck, and is lower to the ground. Sounds like a 2 to me. Practicality is how good it is for any sporadic use. Yes it can be used for passengers, but not well, yes it can be used for a road trip, but it will cost more, you can't really get your fancy new TV to fit in it if you needed, etc. This is what the practicality score means. The score doesn't just mean is it comfortable to drive, it's would you use this for anything spontaneously. It can be used for many of these things, but not well or not at all. You're really filtering your views of the car purely because you own one. It even has that weird flap that stays in the way of the cup holder and doesn't automatic seats or adaptive cruise control. These are features that heavily weigh into the practicality score.

Nice! Enjoy your ride!

911

@@Rhythmattica exactly, all 911s look alike but that's a good thing

@@pedromonteiro2644 Good to know you get it.

Not to mention the 2nd gen NSX was the same from 2017 till its death. The 1st gen NSX was the same with minor facelifts from 1990 and no substantial performance upgrades. Yet JDM fanboys love the 1st gen so much that their prices have surpassed the 2nd gen.

"R8/NSX/911 are not flashy cars" Ha!

I wonder if some of that is because it's an Audi, you know it's going to be good no matter what.

It's the shorter less aerodynamic hood and the lack of overhang beyond the wheel arches... it's easy to be recognized as an R8, so they do stick out, and people will look twice at them. I still can never figure out why something that offers a lot for the money and still seems like a badass vehicle gets such a low value score. I mean, they may stop depreciating as soon as they stop making them with a V-10.....then demand will pick up because dey don't make em like dat no more , and after bottoming out around $40-$60k around the year 2026, they'll start selling for more and more in 10 or so years from 2032 and up..... unless petrol becomes illegal or at least unattainable in the bleak and horrible future... granted we all don't get nuked or hit by a comet by then.

I drive for a living, so I have no use for cars that can't be driven without breaking them. I see people daily-driving R8s whereas I don't see that with almost any other supercars except high-end Porsches, and that gives me a special respect for this car. The R8 is outrageously fun and relatively practical, and that's a rare combo.

@@jasonbaird1645 yeah, exactly. I've seen a few R8's, around my area being driven daily or at least every weekend, and some new Porsches too.... people are putting more miles on them.... because they Can.

it is to loud inside can,t hardy here you talk constant drone

This is because the fuc... boring electric car. There is nothing more boring than driving an electric car.

Its old. Time for something new. Same goes for the Nissan gtr.

@@arride4590 It's obvious you've never driven one lmao

@@kcopara1 Keep telling yourself that LMFAO

@@danger450 It looks horrendous with the spoiler up.

@@aaron-fauth agree. this ''spoiler'' is just a joke. the one on my 06' cayman is about 3 times bigger (and it still means no business) LMAO

especially if you look at the price compared to its competitors

It's a german sports car with the heart of a Lamborghini Huracan, packed in a less dramatic and less aggressive shell. It's much more daily drivable than an italian exotic and more special than a Corvette or let's say most AMG and BMW M models.

@@k.r.99 It's more than the heart, it IS a Huracan with only an Audi badge on the bonnet. So I guess Lambo is gonna stop the Huracan too ?

@@aidaaliten8817 he's back commenting numbers

It's a nice car. But to my eyes, this new car already looks old. The design isn't timeless.

A sex bot stole your comment, congrats 🎊

Someone below you had the exact same comment with the exact same wording. That's crazy that two people had the exact same thought.

@@bwofficial1776 no dude, a bot stole their comment.

Audis are notorious for dying (just outside of warranty).

@@TenFalconsMusic (no one asked)

I liked the older model better.

I agree. I have a gen 1 v10 in manual. Never selling it. Looks amazing to this day still.

its gonna be mid

@@michealcorleone665 it’s gonna be gay

No need to swallow that Pill, as I won’t be taking that Pill on supporting and/or talking about those pieces of crap when they are released in the future. Lol

@Micheal Corleone Mid to substitute a Naturally Aspirated 10 Cylinder Lambo Engine with a boring Tesla sounding engine? Lmao!

I agree, Im not sure what Doug is talking about, I have a 2018 R8 and I live in LA in an area full of super cars and heads are constantly turning to look at my R8

Weird to think that the R8 is a 16 year old car, the 3rd gen R8 could look exactly like the 1st gen R8 and it would still look futuristic.

@@1Interloper out here breaking necks. Good work sir

2016 was the best year for this car in my opinion. Black on black 16 R8 v10

True, but not a fricking Electric R8.

I feel this car will be ruined as an EV, the main purpose as a simple flagship super car will be gone, but I may be wrong

Like, a Hybrid system with a V10 that also has cylinder cutoff

@@hammer_mercedes The purpose of a flagship super car is to build the fastest and quickest car that brand is capable of making; which for Audi the only way up is EVs.

Everything about electric cars is boring and lame

Its because of upcoming emission regulations for ICE cars. It will be impossible to keep a NA V10 within new regulations.

@@AcTzGlitcher Doesn't matter if the regulations are to blame or that someone at the government is a cunt that hates cars and takes it up the ass, nobody will waste money on electric R8s, if they can be called that.

@@abayamangali Thanks for the love 😄 I hope you and everyone else reading this can also get their dream car one day! Sooner rather than later... climate change ain't slowing down, that's for sure.

Lmao literal poetry😂

I can't actually get to believe Audi will go ''fully electric'' on the next R8.... Are you on drugs people from Audi ? Or are you just trying to cash in from a (very) stupid new era ? IMO it is a bit of both....sadly

I’ve never had anything but manual seats. I’ve never even thought about it.

Why haul extra weight? Cause power, memory seats are WAYYY easier for multiple drivers.

i think doug has OCD...

@@John_Hoover Yeah for a family daily driver. Supercars are rarely shared.

@@prasad530 Hey, sometimes wives want to drive the toy too. And to think these buyers really care that much about another 7lbs to the cars total weight is laughable. They still want certain luxuries, power seats in $150,000 cars being one of them.

No electric car can do that, this is why they will forever suck.

@Defective Degenerate Rebadged Porsche engine

@Defective Degenerate no Audi built the 5.2 FSI based off their v8s and then gave it to Lambo, not the other way around

so sad....."Oh its electric were saving the enviroment!!!" ...ya lol what all did you do to the enviroment to produce those batteries and electronics? lol

@@oldben1800 exactly!

@Defective Degenerate Lambo is actually re-badged Audi bruh :)

Bro you’re not even buying these cars. What if Toyota ended production of the Camry, a boring midsize sedan?

The o.g. r8 really was perfect. Up there with the e-type.

Mutt breads Lamborghini

Completely disagree. Their new designs are great!

Agreed. Plus, imagine being too lazy to manually move a seat.

💯

I prefer the pre-facelifted model because it looks a bit better in my opinion.

I like the fact of no OPF was awesome, but I didn’t really fall in love with this car till the facelift. Now I’d do anything to have one. Being a disabled person, and this supercar being so much more easily accessible than any other as far as comfort, this would be a no brainer for anyone with a fucked up back, neck, and sciatica like me.

What if the battery's dead?

@@joshjlmgproductions3313 Out of luck then I suppose.

Agreed they do.

"Amazing" until the break down just outside warranty. It's then you'll have a different adjective (or expletive) to describe them.

I think a V10 at 600HP can outrun a 700HP V8.

@@Monster33336 That's what i said xD *Especially the automatic dual clutch transmission is amazing. But i bet also more expensive to repair if it breaks.

@@TenFalconsMusic I would say this is one of the biggest arguments for the Audi. How many Lamborghini/Ferrari/etc... dealerships are there? While you can just get your R8 repaired at every Audi dealership in the country. At least in my family, Audi had a reputation for being unreliable, but i would bet the alternatives are in no way better. Especially the italian or british exotics. Maybe Porsche and Corvette, but then again they offer no V10's. And they are also very common.

@@TenFalconsMusic oh boy youre really wasting your time commenting this on ever comment are ya

I agree. I’d rather have it die off completely, than to be completely emotionless with some garbage Electric Powertrain.

Umm no

no and no

Great car but that’s definitely a reach

I'd say that the R8 might be more iconic compared to the LFA. Toyota really never commited the same way Audi did.

Iconic? I didn't even know that they still made these. How iconic could they be? Even when the model was new I wasn't interested. The LFA is a unicorn for sure, but the general population wouldn't even know what it was... I think you are misunderstanding the meaning of the word "Iconic".

Finally someone who agrees with me.

They are lighter and greener too! No motors or battery power required

@@kazitaufiqiqbal1194 one less electric motor that can fail.

I bought my current car in 2008. The last few years my seat gets closer and closer to the steering wheel. I think my legs have gotten shorter 😔🤷🏼‍♂️.

and acually a hybrid that drives longer then 10 miles before it needs to drive off the combustion engine. like 50 miles of range off of a hybrid so you can drive some kinda distance off just the battery.

car manifacturers won't be able to produce more ICE sport cars due to upcoming emission regulations.
