Excellent review. I like the way you were squeezing details out of the experts to gain still more insights. Not to mention your special sense of British humor. Good work. I will wait to get the FL spyder into my garage. On occasions I will be chasing on the Autobahn. In a sense I was lucky when proposing a new Boxster to my wife. She said noooo, get an R8 ... looool

Since I was a child I have always loved Lamborghini cars my pin up car was the Countach when first came out my jaw dropped 😮 . I like Ferrari cars some are beautiful to look at and you can pull away from still in 3rd gear that’s a lot of torque but put a Lamborghini next to a Ferrari I’ll take the Lambo every time even if it’s the worse car! Shut my mouth. As soon as I saw the R8 I fell in love with it I’d take it over a Lamborghini every time. I don’t know what it is but the Audi just says take me. I love the new one just as much.

I totally agree with you. I feel the same now specially with this new 2019 R8. I would spec it either with the yellow or black color and carbon fiber. Then I would buy the VRS GT wing for the rear and buy some nice aftermarket black wheels (these new wheels are cool but I've always thought having your own different wheels is better, more of your own signature). Then it would be my perfect looking R8. I would take it to my nearest track and play...🤗.

What an absolutely perfect day and perfect review! Is this the AWD version of the R8? If so, then these were perfect conditions for showing off the R8's increased stability of the Quattro system. But anyway, that engine sound is to die for! No need to even drive fast or rev the nuts off it, just cruising around town is a treat listening to that Ingolstadt V10 philharmonic orchestra! lol

The quality and look of the interior is superb and I can’t say enough (good way) about the V10 sounds that are now endangered in the automotive world. Regarding seating position comments, does it have a “high in the saddle” feel or is it just good visibility?

At 18:53 did the 'product manager for the R8' mention the word RSQ3 Performance?!!! On the Audi UK website and configurator you can't yet specify even a cooking bog standard New Q3, or find out its price, let alone an RSQ3. Is all this to do with the corporate CO2 allowance and the EU6d TEMP/WLTP/2019 RDE emission regs chaos that is affecting German manufacturers and seriously delaying delivery of new cars?

Hi Thomas, yes, knew that, saw your Q3 video (very good!), but that was 3 months ago. You still can't order a Q3 (in UK?

(He looked like a very clever chap, that 'product manager', wish we'd heard more from him!).

@autogefuehl

they underestimated the stricter rules and also the EU made the transition period shorter this time. So they have less time to implement the new emission standards. But its not that they cannot upgrade the engines, the homologation process takes so long as there are not enough test facilities available to homologate those cars (homologation = official registration process at the governments to have your values for your car fixed and be able to sell it)

It looked like you were getting car sick when you were the passenger. I like the look of the early model better but like the performance of this one.

Was R8 first one to incorporate full digital instrument cluster? Beautiful car, but there's price to pay ;). 4:24 Symphony of Destruction.

The grill is shambolic.

I'm not sure if I'm liking the facelift. I like the Gen 2 redesign. I'll take a 2017 Ibis White Spyder with the 540 HP V10 variant and be happy as a clam. :-)

This is the look that this kind of performance deserves. And they did that thing with those 3 vents because they want people to remember the legendary audi sport quattro s1 that also had these on the hood

Hey Autogefühl, your reviews are excellent but I have one criticism. Please don't do so many reviews with cars with the highest trim level and/or the highest motorization like this one. Or to put it positively, please do more reviews for the normal car buyer. I mean how many viewers are gonna buy the 300 hp Cupra Ateca and how many the normal Ateca 1.4 TSI? The answer is pretty obvious, right? The Seat Ateca is just an example, I noticed that I'm looking for a "normal" car and I only find the most expansive and powerful version of a car in your reviews. For example the Mercedes AMG you reviewed two months ago has got 76.000 views but the Mazda3 review you did 5 days ago has got 170.000 views. This should tell you something about viewers preferences. Just my fifty cents.

Call it AUDI TT XL. Looking nothing like the Audi R8 we all grew up wanting. 😢

wtf are those mirror caps.... oof

It looks fun. But I wonder where all these cars are going to be in 10 years.

I always lose my interest in new supercars when I hear that "it is so easy to drive" :D

Havent seen that many fake grills since the early Wu-Tang Clan videos

maybe this face lift model is just that, given beyond the styling cue, I could not see much, but still the very best supercar money can buy so far as I am concerned, poor mans Bugatti if you will... which I would have over any Italian model, or British car...and so reliable and practical... ( relatively) makes you wonder how the other brands can justify their cost... shame its not more popular

Can't really call this a new car when it's just a light refresh. Calling it a facelift is a stretch. It's more of a modernization of a old look. Since 2006 nothing much has changed, at least add another gimmick like suicide doors or some door gimmic. The ford GT refresh was a real remake. Literally remade everything. Audi needs to step up it's game or it's gonna fall behind the newer BMW M series At 140k starting and 200k top of the line, At 140, you can get a Corvette 3ZR 755HP top trim. Or just get a GTR and be done with.

I love this car, but I don't really like what they did to the front end. And I can't believe the entire grill is fake. That's a big wtf right there. It no longer has that clean elegant look it had before and just doesn't look compatible with the rest of the car. I think the grill and the openings are too big and it looks awkward to me. They could've made it look more aggressive without compromising the clean and elegant look of everything else.

Kitsch. But let me explain... As an R8 lover (not fanboy), I can say the overall shape of gen.2 Audi R8 is brilliant but the few bits and bobs (not many but quite important visualy ones) that were wrong in the first place, were touched now in an even worse way making it quite an AliExpress-ish aftemarket mixture of plastic parts.

Still, the first gen is better looking !

Nice redesign, these cars can be used everyday reliably and that's progress. Great review, keep up the good work...Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way!

Awful styling but good news for owners of original v10 cars

fake grill :D

The original R8 looked like a really bad chop-chop were someone welded (/glued..?) a TT front with a Lambo end. Just look at it in profile. Wheelbase is totaly off. The "blade" lines up perfectly with the wonky rear edge of the roof that has a 1" vertical gap down to the engine lid glass. It honestly looks like shit. And the front end was so boring that you thought it was designed by the same guy that drew the Golf V. No lines - no nothing - except that tastless slab of carbon fiber in the middle of that un-balance, front heavy, stretched side profile. The new ones actually have design lines that flow togheter. They HAVE design lines to begin with. And they don't look like something that horrible Indian car designer welded togehter in a shed on Discovery Channel a decade back.

For gods sake, why the fuk Audi still hasn’t changed the stupid plastic paddles on r8, give r8 those big carbon fiber paddles yo!! It really ruins the whole car’s class for a big margin. Jus don understand the reason why Audi is being so cheap on their flagship’s paddles...

It used to be such a beautiful car... now they have ruined the design. Especially the fake vents below the bonnet and around the headlights are a real turn-off. These are really KO elements that disqualify the whole car for me at least.
