Is NOW the time to BUY a new Audi R8 before it's gone?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Audi R8 has been a super car stand out for many years, but soon it will disappear from the lineup. Under the engine cover is a 5.2L V10 that is pumping out 562HP & mated to a 7-speed DCT transmission. On the outside you will find the familiar styling cues of the Audi brand, massive brakes, and Audi Sport performance exhaust. On the inside there is a minimalist approach to the interior with only a 12in virtual display. Is it NOW the time to BUY a new Audi R8 before it's gone?

Would you recommend the Audi R8 RWD 2021 for a country with a lot of bad road conditions, large and frequent speed bumps, holes and rough terrain overall? How's the ground clearance, Wheel durability, suspension and damping ??
I live in Los Angeles. I first saw a R8 in person by Sony studio in Culver City, in ~2006 - 2007. It was being driven by a handsome young working actor, who was on a popular TV show at the time. Upon my inquiry, he did not own the car, but was lent the car by Audi Corp for a period of time, just to get around LA and beyond to generate attentions from curious people like me.

The r8 is wall better than the bmw i8 In terms of performance, the bmw i8 is slow but the Audi R8 is fast and they both cost almost the same price, so if I had like $200k in my pocket and if was to chose between the Audi r8 and the bmw i8, I will definitely go for the Audi R8 v10 plus

A friend of mine does detailing for a living, and a guy who owns a blacked out R8 hired him. He bought it in part because the AWD allows him to still use it during the snowy winters here in New England.
Love these. Great Joe!
They are super reliable. In 2019 there was a V10 5.2 R8 at the GTI wörthersee Meeting with 479.000 km (like 300k Miles). First Motor, First gearbox.

I love Audi. I owned a 2001 S8 and currently own a 2013 S5 cabriolet prestige. Wonderful cars. But, as much as I love the beauty of the R8, in my mind, I can't justify the $189,000 price tag over my 2011 Cadillac CTS-V. The performance numbers are close, with the edge going to the gorgeous Audi, but my CTS-V might cost all of $25,000 today, and it does have a touch screen infotainment system. Again I love and own Audi products just want to add some perspective. If you love the R8 and have the means, get it! Thanks for the Vlog Joe! Thanks Laurie!!

Just go buy an E60 M5/M6 if you want a sweet V10 sound. You can find them for $16k, with under 100k miles. Want a bad car! Buy this, rebuild the motor, supercharge it, complete suspension and component refresh/rebuild, and you can have a 100whp M5/M6 for under $50k, including the price of the car, after all is said and done. It will sound as good, if not better than the R8.

Hi Joe!!! We love this channel
Picked up a fully loaded 17’ R8 V10+ with added mods for a good deal 2 months ago and haven’t seen another R8 close to the price I got mine for. Last year and when Covid hit was definitely the best time to buy, I’m sure I could have gotten one cheaper if I searched last year. But there’s still a few left out there for a decent price if you look hard enough. These cars are holding their value / appreciating right now, not much time left before it won’t be worth to buy for awhile…
Wow, a work of art on wheels.

Good morning and Happy New Year Raiti’s!! Two questions for you. What is the vehicle in the background when you are discussing the price? Never seen it before. 2nd question - I’m very interested in the R8, and I have never driven an all wheel drive - when are you going to drive a 2021 RWS R8? I’m very interested in knowing the difference in handling between 2 and all wheel drive.
the r8 is just pure greatness and the look never seems to get old. Audi keep making this monster forever!!!!
Great review! It is easy to tell which cars you really love from your “On Throttle!” reactions! So sad this car is going away. If I had $200,000 to spare, I’d bring one home today.
