2020 Audi R8 V10 Performance Review // The $240,000 Domesticated Maniac

[@CaptainBlitz]

I just LOVE how these guys focus on the driving part of a sports car and leave the creature-comforts and the tech as secondary. I mean seriously 80% of their reviews usually revolve around the driving part which I feel is miles more important than what colour the seats are

Solomon Dy unimaginable mistake

[@BMWROYAL]

Solomon Dy I legit hate when that happens then ur poor the cereal and have to press it down into the milk

[@derbigpr500]

People who put cereal into the bowl before milk are mentally challenged, and I don't care what anyone says, disagreeing with that statement automatically puts you into the mentally challenged category as well because you fail to accept something that is logically correct and objectively and subjectively superior. Putting milk first is superior in every way: 1) You don't waste any cereal. 2) You don't waste any milk. 3) You add cereal as you eat it. 4) The cereal you have in the bowl stays fresh and crispy, instead of going soggy because it was sitting in milk for 10 minutes. Putting cereal first has literally no advantage at all, there is absolutely not a single thing about it that is better. It's just one of those things ONLY americans do that is so obviously wrong , but for some reason they don't realize it and keep doing it, and on top of that, somehow got it to their heads that it's better. Same as using the imperial system for example. It's just ignorance, but I guess people like that don't deserve anything other than soggy cereal.

I Identify As Black he said vw group. You know who owns porsche?

[@JamarConley]

@I Identify As Black Why wouldn't they not? That's the whole point of owning them all. The Bugatti engine is based on the Vr6. VW Engineers are genius. They found a way to cover the whole market from cheap to expensive and everything in between. They put the same displacement engines in a variety of their brands. But depending on the brand, you get more performance and quality. Like I said, The Bugatti engine derived from engines that started off in VW cars in '91. Yes, Higher performance VW parts are used across the board. They own Bugatti, Audi, Porche, Bentley, etc, not the other way around. You get what you pay for. I think it's genius.

[@neilmcmahon]

The gearboxes are manufactured by ZF, so there are different versions of calibration and complexity depending on the car it goes into.

[@sylvainmarier4818]

I drove it last year at the Audi performance tour (something like that) and it was amazing and even better (for me) in convertible version. This year, my wife bouht me some lapping with instructor in exotic cars, I choose the Porsche 911 Carrera S (amazing also) but there was an R8 and the instructor inside that one drove it like an F1 all day long until tires was finish and guys....the sound of it 😍

[@smey02]

You guys are really like my replacement for Top Gear/Grand Tour.

[@joebro391]

I'm sure this is a great car. I love my S5. But I just can't imagine this is worth $240k. When the first gen came out in 2006, it was a huge success because it was the "affordable supercar". And while I'm sure the 2020 model is an overall better car...it's not double the car; and therefore it's not worth over double the price

[@snehalk4372]
