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

One of the best exteriors, interiors and sound.

+troybballin14 I've seen them both, and the old car is far superior in looks. These rectangular angles everywhere on the front just look awful

+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.

Man, the new R8 is very nice. Also, great to drive it in a beautiful place like that.
This is perfect! The V10 sound without the silly Italian body kit! I love this car!
I drove this in Le Castellet. Take it from me the new 8 is FANTASTIC! Interior is stunning, performance, handling, braking and the sound of this car is something else!! My present v10, is over 6 years old & I've put 72,000 miles on the clock, I still love it, enjoyed every second driving it & I know it probably better than the back of my hand OK, because I love the shape of my present car and the uncluttered view of my engine it took a little while to get used to the new one........ABOUT 5 SECONDS!!
So when's the delivery?
You drive that car on my birthday..and post it 2 days after that..so,it is a good birthday gift for me..thank you shmee150!!!
I follow you on instagram, and never even knew you had a youtube channel! Always like your pictures.. Very cool. Great job on both youtube, and in the social media!
Great vid Tim, cheers!
Looks very slick and those lights are the most trick in the business!
that display with the navi is like straight out of Bond, I love it!
Marvelous , love the color, just a beautiful pice of machinery .
I love the sound of this V10, in both the Hurucan and this.
When the exhaust note so beautiful, you literally tear up.
*comes from school *checking shmees chanell *sees a BLUE audi r8 plus "Here we go again"
You are a real styler! Because you wear a blue sweater and blue sunglasses that matches with the beautiful color of this car - GOOD PREPARATION!
i love it i go someday buy it to good work tim
Hands down, this car looks awesome !
I love this video just because I know exactly where you're filming haha. Not too far from my old house near Paul Ricard Circuit ;)
very good, nice looking car for an Audi, keep up there good work !
You know what time it is Tim.... Time to buy that car!!
Love that it still has the NA V10, love the interior, sad at the loss of the V8, hate the way it looks, hate the loss of the manual gearbox.
Awesome video!
Love the design of Audi interiors, they have very nice fit and finish and are ergonomically great.
I love the color ❤️
Looks really nice in red shmee 👌
Really like the look of this new R8. Much more aggressive looking. Also I love the square quad exhausts, far better than the weird round ones that doesn't really suit the R8
My Dream car ever since the earliest model came out, but this is just a new breed of sexy! This car in Metallic Black with carbon would just be
Tim is a one-man Top Gear!
This car is amazing!
That color with those Wheels! :o
It's Shmee Blue haha his favorite colour tho!Love it
two questions schmee! Why does the engine have to be on to open the engine bonnet and second; is that a CD player behind the seats in the middle?
When are you taking delivery of that cerulean blue dustbin truck that was on your collaboration video??
Nice job, I will be buying it
is the steering tighter in dynamic mode?
this is goals
really love the steering wheel design!
It looks so nice
Tim, whenever you drive a blue Audi does the colour bring back memories of your S5 Cab and the journey your life has taken since you had it ?
Is the Vegas Yellow colour option for R8 exclusive?
When I saw tumbnail I thought he bought it as a new part of the blue crew :) Would love that
What a beautiful machine
That interior thou 👍🏽
Wich video edit progam do you have?
Wouldn't they release a right hand drive car in a country which uses right hand drive? Great video as always Tim.

+sevenseasvoyager I'm Dutch and my Supra is RHD. and i love my Supra, but the ride is not as easy as a LHD. If a truck double parked, you can see anything. And special on narrow two-way road, it is more exciting to pass a oncoming vehicle.

The r8 is sold here in Aus in rhd. A car has to be older than 30yrs to remain lhd here.
Love the interior design
I thought the old ones looked quite boring, and I see one almost weekly on my way to work. I like the aggressive look of the new ones
I love the new R8! The tougher decision is what color to get!
"18:24" absolutely absolutely - You know tim was paid to say excellent stuff about the car, 😜
i loved the yesterdays video it was very funny that pual and seb spot you 4 or 5 times nice game.My brother says that how are you so rich because barly the cars you have are not even here
Tim I know your thinking about a 4th car don't deny it. Great video though loved it
You need to buy one!!! We know you love it
Daeum!!!!you got 4 new super sports car!!!
The Virtual Cockpit is just beautiful.
I like the longer nose pointing forwards like that
The next shmee mobile for sure ^_-
When are you posting your shmeeting details for Liverpool?
shmee how is the ride quality of v10 plus compared to the Huraccan?
Just amazing 😍
Am I the only one that listens to low volume music while listening to Tims videos? I listen to soundtracks and funny enough it adds more to the feel of the video without any copyright problem lol
What a nice car and guy Shmee.....You
I wasnt a fan of that shape but after watchin this I think im sold :-)
awesome video shmee150 Audi r8 is My favorite car :)
shmee its blue did you buy it?
Blue? I look forward to delivery soon, Shmee!
what camera is he using?
5:10 this minute gave me chills
sooo since its blue and given your history, when is the delivery?
The time when you watch 18:20, and it says your hometown on the display, Palisades Park (But I live in NJ, the states) Anyways, the R8 looks really nice, and sounds decent as well :)
19:58 560Nm @ 6500min^-1? Why does the max torque come in so late?
I like the old version better. However, it does look amazing!
I like it, it's sort of more aggressive, sort of better than the older one, sort of blue as well, more sort of power, sort of newer as well, new sort of Audi logo. 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.
Gr8, finally the R8 looks like a proper sports car. I'm thinking on exactly the same plus version in same ext colour and slightly different int. colour combo. Had Audis before, but not R8 yet, what are the seats like in normal drive or for longer rides 100-300km, speed 150-180km/h...
One of my dream cars
I like the overall look, but still not sure about the change to the side blade.
shmee(tim), where did you make the intro?
nice car,,, nicely priced.. Erm nice blue lol Yeh let's hope to see a furture in-depth review with a tad more fun, driving maybe a trip like with the Aston Martin however that sat nav..... sweeeet
Did you drive in Arrinera Hussarya?
I want that display!!!
I have a Audi R8 2014 it's very special to me because I have been on so many road trips
This over amg gt and porsche 911 turbo anyday. Would't even consider Huracan, in that price range my pick would be 488 gtb. Keep it coming Tim, Bravo 👏
The 2014 R8 lights remain the most beautiful for me
That SOUND
Shmee what car did u drive here in?
Can you please use HP instead of PS? i don't know the conversions!
I never thought I'd say this about an Audi, but what a cool car!!

I've seen you, I'm from the region, and I said to myself, it's odd to see that many R8, must be some kind of show or gathering, hope you enjoyed the area.
Enjoyable video again, +Shmee150..On a technical note, I wonder why we don't see flat8s instead of v8s in any of these kind of mid-engined cars, for the same handling and smoothness of engine benefits the flat 6s give in the Porsche Boxters and Caymans..Nice auto! I heard Supercars of London say one had been timed at 2.8 to 60!

Hey Shmee, Thanks for a good vid. I am always pleased though somewhat envious of your cars :) One small thing if I may. Please stop gesturing with your hands in the vid when describing details of the cars. I think we can all agree that we understand what you are talking about while filming a highlight. I trust this is not taken to harshly by either yourself or the great fan base. Looking forward to the next one :)
the exhaust tips look like the ones on the veyron, if you take a close enough look
Blue, is it already ordered?
I prefer the old R8 in looks, but in my opinion the interior and performance makes up for it a bit. I have not seen it in person yet, I hope so soon, maybe I'll change my mind, like the Huracan in person vs in pictures.
I fell in love with the R8 when it came out, when the did the facelift and I'm in love again with the new model even more. Sadly nothing changed about my bank account :(
