Audi R8 RWS - A Rear Wheel Drive R8?! | TRACK TEST
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Join me for an exclusive opportunity to discover the new Audi R8 RWS, the first Audi R8 that is rear wheel drive only. With only 999 being produced, and 540 horsepower from the NA V10, the Dubai Autodrome is mine to explore and discover what the RWS is all about!
For the first time, Audi have removed the Quattro system from the R8 to produce the 1-of-999 R8 RWS - standing for Rear Wheel Series, and yes that means all the power to the rear axle. Traditionally it would always have featured the power being distributed to all four corners, and the limited edition model represents the first break away from that.
With the V10 mated to the S-tronic gearbox, and a slightly lighter total weight than in the regular car, the big thing is going to be what it's like with traction disabled - so let's try!
Thanks for watching, Tim

AWESOME Video Shmee! I’ve NEVER commented on ANY video, but I’ve been watching your videos for years! I want to congratulate and encourage you on your new “car music video montage” at the beginning! Amazing! Always great videos, but I think this added something for me that put it over the top! Cheers! -Aaron
Your channel keeps on getting better!! It’s the new Top Gear 😋 Keep it up Tim.

R8 RWS = Limited Edition RWD Huracán
@MrGrazzhoppa
6 жыл бұрын
It’s the other way around, the Huracan was inspired and built based on the R8, that’s why Lambo and Audi is sharing the chassis and the V10 and other components. But they are both owned by Volkswagen.

The R8 RWS looks definitely on point! The body-colored panels on the doors blend in with the overall design way more naturally than the carbon-colored quattro ones imo.

Definitely the Rogue Wild Side of not just the R8, but all of Audi. A spectacular Quattro-defying drift machine that will, without any doubt, become a showstopper.
Does anyone know how people sell cars they leased? For example Paul Wallace selling his Lambo Huracan RWD. *EDIT* I meant finance

They had it a bit easier back then, if you knew the right people you could drive pretty much everything. They strapped something reminescent of a taillight on the back and one prototype got a headlight aswell, but then they just drove them, displaying their "future technology" to the masses.
wonder if you can order it with the R8 Plus’ engine w/ 600hp

A manual would have made this R8 even more special. They also should introduce the 610 HP engine in this RWS R8 as an option with a manual.

I hope AUDI SPORT develops more of these RWS models 🙏😍🔥 It seems to be so nice to drive! An Audi RS5 RWS would be great but I think that´s just a dream of mine 😢 #shquad
