.............................................................
Mat’s got his hands on the Audi R8 V10 Performance!
It’s the most powerful version of the Audi R8 you can buy, and we have to say, it’s an absolute monster! With a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 powering all four wheels, it’ll deliver 620hp and 580Nm, while also hitting 60mph in a claimed 3.1 seconds!
But of course, if this isn’t your first carwow review, then you’ll know that the claimed 60mph times aren’t always 100% correct. So what do you think - will Mat be able to hit it in under 3.1 seconds? Or will the winter roads prove to be his downfall?
You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Hi Mat here: which engine configuration do you think has the best sound?

5.2L V10

V10 twin turbo sheepy built 👍

"To tell you the truth, you're probably not thinking about buying an R8"
*cries in the corner*
I want an r8 my dream car
My dad chose the AMG GT over it, I still call him an idiot for it :v
But we're all wishing we could... Right?! 😓
Says the guy who just bought the 130k Tesla model s plaid + that guesses your gear
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Any chance your dad is interested in adopting a moderately good looking teenage son??
“I’ve paid for a V10 let me f*****g hear it” 😂 this is why mat and carwow are the best at reviews, informative but funny and honest
The fitting soft limiter laws and regulations should be banned😂😂🤣🤣
lets ban the laws
Well it's a funny law coz it applies mainly to Audis... 😂
For more comedy, i recomend Throttlehouse
7:15 if u want to revisit it.
Regular car reviewers: Look at the beautiful car!
Matt: Jumps on it, pokes it with a stick, gets into the luggage space.
"Also like the Siberian tiger, it's about to go extinct" bruh 😔
Ikr, I wanted an Audi R8😔
unlike the Siberian tiger ...their population is now growing. R8 unfortunately not.
Yeah thats very sad 😥
😂
Lmao bro
No production in india😭😭
petition to use the specialist timing gear in the drag races to see how accurate it is
I'm all for that! Actually each car should have a timing device to see which is truly has the best time over the 1/4 to allow for some of the poor reaction times - drag race results still stand (to keep Matt happy)👍
Done bro
Kinda takes the fun out of it though.
@@matthewp9015 I meant because some of his timings are suuper low, for example in the m440i he did I think 3,8s which is insane.
They do
The Audi R8 is kinda of like a girlfriend. I don’t have one
You don't want one either, someone would always be trying to steal it and when you get inside, it ain't nothing special.
LOL
hell yes
And both expensive.
@@richardturner4848 Facts 😂
man, i rode in one of these 2 weeks ago, and it is scary fast. went from 35 mph to 105 in less than 4 seconds. the feeling of it kicking from 5 down to first gear and being pinned to the seat in a state of pure shock is insane.
A brandnew, small AUDI R8-Clip, the MEAN R8 ?!?

i like carwow so much, mat makes so much joy of doing this job
Yeah because his job is so hard and boring in the first place 😐
@@tekinyavuz5390 OK Tekin
Wouldn’t you?
@@tekinyavuz5390 Savagegeese is the only real review er
i love the way he’s just jumping on the car and getting in the boot like it’s nothing 😂😭
The body design with the huge contrasting panel on the side are major cool factors; this has really set these cars apart.
The way Mat just carelessly presses and turns those buttons, you'd swear they didn't cost as much as a whole Suzuki car
Look im a gay man and I wish he would push my button
Thought im the only one who sees how rough Mat is
I'm sure a lot of these are press cars that manufactures can't sell and will eventually be crushed anyway
To be fair those buttons alone have more structural strength than an entire Suzuki
@@jordanjoestar8839 Not true you total swamp donkey.
Best sounding cars;
LFA & Carrera GT
Then some other v12s and v10s...
W204 C63 too
the best sound is Aston Martin superleggera
@@09shalopur41 that’s 1 of the 2 AMGs I like
@@sadegbensalem3463 nahhh
Volvo 5 cylinder too 👌
love how the video is made into parts, fantastic!
10:10 Mat, stop being so naughty 😂😂
Would definitely prefer this over most other supercars. I fell in love with the R8 after watching the first iron man.
Me too but in the Age of Ultron
Didn’t it first apeared in I am robot?
I agree with u completely. Its a dream car
@@jdhuman9720 me personally too prefer audi, bmw designs over supercars for some reason lol, even if the supercas were cheaper i would definitely buy this r8
@Home Phomm I'd choose an older NSX over this, but the styling of this R8 is nicer than the new NSX
When this pandemic madness is over, I'll always remember Mat, Carwow and his drag races as helping me keep my sanity, Great fun and made me smile on really depressing days, So thankyou Mat and the Carwow team, Oh yes, Yianni too. Brilliant.
Trust me bro they’re addictive...!!
14:04 I'd say the Jaguar F Type V6 has the best tone for value. The V8 manual Audi was an icon as well.
boyish charm, innuendo, banter, bags of enthusiasm and the occasional partridge quotes... what a car!
"...and of course classic Audi, look we've got scrolly scrolly indicators, scrolly mcscroll..."
Mat Watson, February 2021
Wow he loves that car. Haven't seen mat this happy driving a car since the Honda e
The side profile of the R8 in the thumbnail looks perfect. It's like it couldn't have looked any better from other angle..❤️
I own exactly the same one. The sound is just amazing. It's hard to beat on the 1/4 mile. It's a hyper car no doubt. On a dry circuit you can easely do the 0 to 60 miles in 2.8 seconds. You can drive it on the road, but the engine just screams for acceleration. The sound again. On a circuit cornering is just so much fun. I say even more it's faster then the GT3 and the GT3 RS on a circuit. No doubt. It's not a road car for long distances. No hyper car is in my opinion. It's built to race. In my case, I just stored it with low kilometers on it. I got already some good offers, but I can not sell the R8. It's the best enjoyable hyper car from Audi. Crazy I know, but I love it too much. My wife once said, what if you have to choose between me and the R8. I answered. I hope it never comes to that.
Id class a hypercar as a Keonigsegg / LaFerrari. Id consider the R8 a supercar, not a hypercar. Still a beaut though!
Lol
That would depend on whether she would leave you when you're at your lowest point in life and broke? Or will she go through hell with you no matter where it leads you two.
Me: Awh cool Tiger and Audi comparison!
Matt: They are about to go extinct!
Me: ...
Yeah 3 years from now they will never produce anymore an r8 and that is sad
It is, was and will always be a timeless beauty.
you mean the first R8, right?
The first version was the best.
After that they tried to redo a design that had been perfect at the first try.
Currently have a Huracan EVO and came from a R8 V10 Plus (2017)... got to say, I miss the ease of driving the R8 much more due to visibility. Also a WAY better audio system in the R8. The Huracan's touch infotainment system also is a mess in my opinion. Million leagues below the MMI of the Audi.
The sad part is that they are the same exact car but the R8 is a $100k less. You are paying $100k for Lamborghini badges, a body kit, and a different tune.
I’m learning towards an acr viper or the r8 for my first modern sports car purchase everything else I have is a hot rod or built dodge diesels.
Thanks poster for explaining the comfort of an r8 I do plan to drive the hell out of the purchase and the acr viper from what I’ve seen is just not comfortable to drive distance.
@@brandondobschutz5146 the r8 is nicknamed the "supercar you can live with" for a reason
@@mstnglvrr not 100% the same
Dude.. you dont have shit... you have a failed yt channel where u promoted Warzone and other BR games.. stop lying
The R8 is nice looking and likely well engineered. I’ve had 2 Audi turbo sedans and loved them, reputedly the best in car interiors.
I would like to see the R8 realistically compared all out to a Porsche 911 4S, which checks all the boxes for me as a daily. I was a bit surprised seeing that 10 cylinder engine jump around under hard revving. No doubt it’s rubber mounted but that movement gives me pause that it might tear up the mounting area.🤷♂️ As a Porsche enthusiast there’s just something unique about the way they drive. After driving 911’s and Panamera 4S’s for 10+ years it would be a stretch to give one up for the admitted nice Audi entry. I especially enjoyed watching them run high in the road circuit races. I hope Audi will keep developing them… .👍
my favorite caR8 is discontinued 😢
6:11 - step cameraman, help me, I'm stuck
No way 😂😂😂😂
Cameraman Jack has great taste in cars.
:WeirdChamp:
AND THE DOUG SCORE IZZZZ????
@@saidalas7763 We don't do that here
I literally love every other car brand except BMW
@@JohhnyG don't talk to him he is Doug's slave
"Perfect for the Girls... and some of the boys" haha
So as a boy owning an R8 i will get more girls because "R8 is for girls" haha cry.
@@Narcis.N NO... the joke flew over your head in the video Matt says: "Nice and stiff."
First own one than say
R8 is for everyone (girls and boys both)
I love how Matt could'nt give a Rats about political correctness. He's a funny guy (most of the time).
Im glad they changed gearbox from rtronic to s tronic gearbox !
I was having old r8 and always felt jerk while change of gear ⚙️ when driving in auto mode
Will love to see a review of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ!!
I think Mat has beef with lamborghini, lol. He never reviewed one on the channel, not even the urus which sells like hot cupcakes to rich people
That's shit for half a million dollars
@@YonePepe IDK....he loved the SVJ during the drag race between SVJ and Huracan...🤔🤷🏻♂️
ye
@@NandanKumar-yh5kk its £250000 and it's the fastest track / road car around the nurburgring and's limited production so it should hold its value for a bit
The way matt giggles while the engine roars tells me how much he is enjoying this.
Just imagine, Chris Harris and Matt Watson together on TG. Would be amazing! Hands down two of my favorite car guys.
Beautiful car! I went into Audi to purchase it, but left with the A8L V8, at about $110K vs $220K on the R8. I figured I can go a few years back and pick up a low-mileage R8 in the future for $80K.
Lead us a fiver will ya
aha a guy with a mario avatar went to buy an r8...hop off the mushrooms gramps
Try the s8.
Frame: it's hard and stiff. Nice for girls. And for boys.
Okay, that's it then...
Mat is a bisexual dragqueen non forming gender neutral confirmed
The R8 has an absolutely beautiful, rather timeless design. However the Huracan has a slight edge over it but overall, I would rather have the R8.
Seymour Dix if you are gonna buy this car you will most likely have a daily car so I doubt practicality matters that much.
An awkward bent RS5 or a Lambo
@@jman009ify true😂😂😂
Nah, the Huracan provides better performance you gotta agree that. Don't know about the looks, but Lamborghini's design too are great.
@Seymour Dix Practicality here, no. Both the cars has nothing to do with practicality.
I love this car and wish I could afford to buy one, especially the performance model. I love high revving V-10 and V-12 engines.
I would rather have the Audi R8, Had a 5.2 V10 S6 previously, lovely engine and if you get the limiter taken off and tuned up, it surprises a few supercars.
let’s be honest, mats not a journalist anymore...he’s a youtuber
One makes a lot more wonga
I'd love to see a drag race between the r8 and the huracán featuring yanni
Hi Mat. R8, R8, R8 every time. Loved this car right from inception and will never change.
A friend of mine has one and offered me a drive in it and as Matt says super easy to drive - l jumped in and drove it like it was mine - absolutely epic that’s all l can say !! Ps Matt the 0 to 60 MPH is 2.9 however the 0 to 100 KPH is 3.1 (officially)😃
Next video: “This is the fiat 500, and it’s a little bit like a mountain gorilla”
“They’re short, stubby, and your wife will love it more than you do.”
The way Matt yanks on car parts when he is reviewing them is just scary
-Silencer-
It's like Audi just found out that you love to enter those front boots and decided to make it smaller
The sound of this engine and the tach, Audi really hit it out of the park. The engine is really a piece of work. It's more like music than the sound of a motor. Wonderful Video. I don't know who to thank, you or Audi. ;)
Physical buttons (hooray!!) and yet the interior design looks so minimal and classy. They sure know what they're doing, unlike some other companies which are all about marketing and style rather than usability (i.e. Tesla).
We love it!
The Lamborghini interior looks like a caricature of a supercar interior compared to the R8 in my opinion. I'd still take a 488 over both though
i think tesla needs to put some buttons in to their cars because navigating soley by a tablet is difficult
You just triggered tesla fanboys, I can hear them in the distance crying and doing their daily musk cheer
@@dwade3202 daily Musk cheer🤣🤣💀
"Mat hates on the Huracan for a good 17 minutes" 😂😂
Probably a diss to Mr Lamborghini all day everyday
Me too.. its Fugly
I will buy it right now! the price is Wow👍. Thanks!
I will notify you when I wake up how was buying ended.. cheers mate!
I remember back in 2006 when the Audi R8 was the ultimate prize in NFS: Carbon. Absolutely loved it ever since then.
I was in class, but priorities are priorities
oops same
I’m convince mats favourite line is
“Which you get standard in a Toyota Yaris”
I hear it nearly every video
I'm not saying this because I drive a Yaris or anything... but when you read the list of stuff included as standard in it or in really cheap option packages, it makes you realize how many people overspend for nothing on other brands/models
This is hands down thee most beautiful and amazing car I have!

... ever laid my eyes on.
You got me in the first half ngl
13:37. That power and Scream and Anger and shivers. Intimidating AF!
R8 has always been my dream car till today, a decade later , Who I get a Lambo or R8 ? R8 hands down
10:02 only matt would be crazy enough to attempt something like that
Naturally aspirated flat 6 in gt3rs sounds great too !
Came here after knowing sehun rides this cool one. Such an awesome car, also your review is really entertaining 😎. I think I'm gonna binge-watching ur videos 😂
V10 sounds the best because the LFA is the best sounding car ever made. Then 5-pot then V12
Fr 👍😍
1. V10
2. 5 Cylinder from Audi
3. AMG 6.3 V8
What about the carrera gt 🔥🔥
@Ouchwitz BBQ & Grill I mean, it sounds amazing but its not even close to the LFA or Carrera GT.
@@BGK187x second best; just behind the LFA.
"It's reinforced with carbon fiber so it's nice and stiff. Perfect for the girls....and some of the boys."
LMFAO 😂
Oh yeah 69th like
The stiffer the better
That's what she said
169th like
I fast fawarded the video and for a second i saw matt just sitting there in the front boot 😂 didnt expect that
Yes Matt , The Lambo for looks and sound and the quality of skirts you’ll bang, you know it mate!😎 so go on do a vs with the huru evo on track highway city and front of pub..hehe
“ you can’t show off to your friends and be a hooligan”.
🤣
Carwow ist the only channel, where I dont skip the intro because of Matt talking(its relaxing)
those hazy dark woods give it an effect of an advertisement not a review. Beautiful
You are simply Awesome Mat ✨
I really think we should start a vote to remove all soft limiters on the engine to allow us to hear our engines when parked.
I agree
agreed, and exhaust mufflers
I totally agree with you mate, I absolutely despise soft rev limiters, and like mat said, if your paying over 120k for a naturally-aspirated v10, you wanna give the peeps in town a bit of pop and bang if u know what I mean. Unfortunately, with the petrol ban to be introduced in the foreseeable future, its only gonna get worse my friend. But yes, soft rev limiters are the bane of our petrolhead lives.
I think it should be an option in the infotainment. Like a "drag race" mode or something
I Stand in this Vote.
I clicked faster than yianni could sell any car of his
Thats quick
I absolutely love the sound of the roar of that engine it’s fab 😊👌👍
Talk about coincidence, yesterday I was just about to rent one of these to make a top speed POV video and today I am being recomended this video. 😅 Talk about stalking. 😂
I would personally pick the r8 over the huracan because I feel like every influencer buys a huracan when they have earned enough money😂
Me too. Prefer the look over agressive looking huracan. Also prefer r8's smoother noise compared to brutal lambo
Well, obviously you haven't earned enough money then. 😀
Now every time I see him launching a car, I hear "launch face: being whispered in my ear.
I like his greenhouse gases comment. I thought it was New Green Deal gases. Both smell. R8 is amazing. Had a TT and modded... outran LS powered GTO on the highway. Audi's are so well engineered.
I race R8 in GT3 absolutely love this car!
Finally we get a "BUY IT". Didn't get that in a while.
@Paul Blackman Chill man. Chill. It was just a "comment". Its just a funny comment. We all know this. I dont even have a driver licens.
@Paul Blackman cringe
that plastic flappy paddle really does my head in... imagine paying over 100k and you get the wonderful paddle from an A3
they should just chrome the creases and make the turning knob carbon fiber and leave the rest plastic
y'know, to give a sense of homeliness
I wish VW still did the R32 type engines... they sounded great!
3:20 Audi R8 of course.
Hi Matt,
Two points, the R8 Performance/ V10 Plus in dry mode is 90% rwd the fronts tend to work when 'essential', hence the 'donuts'.
Wet mode is 50:50, Snow mode 60:40(I believe).
Last point, the reason you found the new shape easier to drive is because it came with Michelins. You need to be Alert with Pirellis.
13:36 listen to that V10,love it
One of the coolest sportcars -
Love it. 👍😎🚀
V10 LFA,6.3 AMG V8 ( that roar,just...nuts) Subaru boxer,and Nissan 350/370Z V6
These Soft Limiters and OPF additions are ruining everything 💔
I agree, but it’s the young millennials and the Greta Thunberg’s of this world are driving that direction...
@@PhilbyFavourites Yeah right because killing the Planet is great? LOL The soft Limiter is there for a reasons since ages

Can you remove a soft limiter? 🤓. I’m looking to buy a Gen 2 or this facelift version.
I just ordered one and im very exited.
Congrats man have lots of fun with it bro. Give us updates.
Watching that engine wrestle around in the back of the car was incredible
About the drive select being on the steering wheel: You can actually program your "*" button on a regular Audi to be the drive select button. So, it's the same accessibility, really.
only on RS cars i think
@@elshaniarlind4774 Not really. I have a regular S line Audi from 2016 and it works.
This is very true. I have the * button set for drive select on my Audi A3 Sport.
Hey Matt, can you make a video about the new Dacias pleaseee
2017 V10 Plus does have snow/wet/dry option
“Just go and buy it”lol just like that huh!
Best damn car ever made, simply to die for, what else is there to say. Spot on with this video Mat, really made my day... or afternoon... got goose bumps just by hearing that engine.
bro just got me sad... I been wanting to buy an R8 V10 for so long its like, my dream car and its not gonna be produced anymore soon?? 😭😭
Your giggle says everything.
“Normally you can get into these boots quit easily”🧐
lmao, with how much he gets into them, i could feel that he was genuinely disappointed in this boot.
The UK is really reallyyy cloudy. No Carwow review video was filmed and it was sunny outside
There’s plenty if you take 10 seconds to look
I've been watching for years. Most are filmed during a sunny day.
i love the Rims on this car.
6:02 this made me believe that the r8 is a 3 seater 😂😂
