My First Drive in the New Audi R8 V10 Plus [Shmee's Adventures]

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We've been waiting for this one, the new 610hp Audi R8 V10 Plus, and here it is! I was invited for an opportunity to have a very quick drive behind the wheel, and take a look around it during a launch event hosted from Hotel du Castellet in the South of France.
There's no denying it's a fabulous machine, brilliant to drive, a great V10 soundtrack, but is it too limited on everyday usability and practicality? I look forward to a full opportunity to put the new car through its paces in due course, but for now some quick observations and driving impressions from my minutes with the car.
Thanks for watching, Tim

    +troybballin14 There's nothing like the old one. What ruins it is that awful grill. Even Motor Trend hated it. The front was ruined by Audi's new design language which quite frankly sucks balls. The rear looks a bit fat but it's not bad. There's no longer blades and that sucks. And interior? Don't even get me started. I get that the screen is now in the gauge cluster area but they could've designed the dash a lot better. It looks so cheap and empty. This car hasn't grown on me. Usually I don't like a new design but it grows on me. But if it hasn't grown on me by now, I won't ever like it. That's the case with this R8.

All the buttons on the steering wheel are sort of new, especially the sort of big red start button. Big sort of display which I also like, you can view everything on, sort of a cool feature. All in all, sort of a good value for money. Would totally sort of buy if I could. Sort of.
