There's a new R8 in town, and while you can't have it with a manual gearbox you can have it without a turbocharger in sight. A rare thing nowadays, and it's only becoming rarer.

[@coureurdebois]

one of the best automotive you tube channels, love it.

[@coureurdebois]

***** :D

[@coureurdebois]

***** need that Z06 review still :D

[@ArneBergsch]

+justin bouche Aaaaand it's dead now...

[@coureurdebois]

ArneBergsch :*(

[@Johnny-pk6uu]

+justin bouche i agreee bro,greath review,with awesome car look,keep making videos like this,maybw one with rs7 :)

[@durodesduvo8424]

I didn't like the styling at first, now I think it's alright

[@hhharada]

+Durodes Duvo I think it looks older than the previous one. However, the interior kicks ass.

[@martinallenuk]

Well that was random.

[@newbielives]

+Durodes Duvo not ugly but worst than the original

[@E2LH2F]

future,you love it

[@bryn2666]

This guy really should be joining Chris Evans on the new Top Gear.

[@BoraMarkovic]

+Bryn Barker Don't think anyone watched Top gear cause of its analytical reviews which it never had. People watched it for being a fun show with 3 guys who together were amazing and funny. I doubt there will ever be such trio.

[@durodesduvo8424]

I like him too, but idk about that

[@bryn2666]

Bora Markovic The new Top Gear will fail if it tries to imitate the old show. It needs its own identity. This Xcar chap looks quite capable of non-serious car segments, although I expect the new Top Gear to be more serious than before anyway. Otherwise Clarkson's new show will slaughter them.

[@sebastian-daquanglocknerjr1883]

But should he really be joining, or replacing? Idk about you but i dont give a shit what chris evans has to say about cars and would not watch any car show with him in it.

[@arjuhama]

+Bryn Barker This guy, Chris Harris, and Chris Evans = EPIC

[@HaggisNHorsepower]

It hurts to think about the end of pure, natural engines, fingers crossed it doesn't happen for a very long time. At first I didn't really like the new R8, I thought the looks compared to the first generation where a bit off but my my, this vid has changed my mind. Great shots of the car guys & amazing vid overall. Long live natural aspiration!!!

[@Ben-ek4pw]

love this guy favorite car show

[@ashishpatel350]

i miss the side blades.

[@DrMic2112]

It has side blades...just in two parts.

[@amacl10]

That into, and most of the video for that fact, totally reminded me of top gear. But now that its gone it hardly matter. Awesome review!

[@xeonsignal2429]

U deserve wayyyyyy more subs. keep up the AMAZING work!

[@LordGolemPL]

1:59 I'm dying laughing

[@kpizzle1836]

Yeah that killed me too haha

[@GTBKS]

By far the best automotive channel on KZbin today, the quality is unmatched. Bravo!

[@uhn2000]

Absolutely love your reviews - thanks for all the efforts!

[@georgeharley1513]

I have to say, this channel along with chris harris' channel is hands down the best car channel out there for reviews. They both share such in depth honestly and make the reviews so enjoyable. keep up the work XCAR, its bloody good

[@tom4626]

production of these videos is so good, keep up the good work guys

[@waelalhimeary9618]

This channel is the best between all the car channels in many many things ! The directing , the info and the presenters are awesome ! Keep it up XCARS ^_^

[@albertogamez8112]

No manual option? Well, I never thought I'd want a used R8.

[@sangxu5391]

One like the look of new R8 at first, but after this video I find it rather beautiful. That's how good this video is. Good work!

[@ndc5544p]

Damn this V10 sounds amazing

[@NirHason]

every video is an art! love this channel

[@ZetaReticuli_1]

I like the previous looks much more. Great job Alex, as usual. Keep it up.

[@wireframebox]

Some of those shots are around Beaulieu in the New Forest. I noticed my favorite cambered S-bends of my youth!

[@MajorLeagueBassboost]

Dude, you are my soulmate. So great to see someone having the same opinion on turbo and naturally aspirated engines. Turbos are so... Powerful, so crazy and so amazingly perfect. But a V10 like this just has... a SOUL.

[@zbrembo]

Great review, loved the bit on the old v8 and its sound. As far as n/a car's though it's all about the f12.

[@jonathancharles21]

Very good review!

[@shwvn114]

I can't be the only one who thought it was Richard hammond talking at the beginning

[@anshuljain8515]

Absolutely beautiful. I have only seen one of these in India but I can never forget that absolutely symphonic engine note.

[@wssnwwssloswysvwewww]

I loved the side blades

[@jwj500]

With improved technology, lighter, more powerful this car is beautiful. I personally like the looks better too.

[@kartikeyanyogeswaran9961]

great review

[@sideswipebl]

Wow, now you’re approaching Top Gear levels of quality. Great job guys!

[@astrogen1960]

One can tell you had a really fun day at the office, Alex. It's kinda fun seeing you let your hair down a bit. Nicely done!

[@TheEryk03]

R8 is my favorite super car. Looks awesome, amazing engine and handling.

[@xposzure]

Great video always from XCAR. A Corvette still hasn't gone the turbo route yet. Ditto for the Dodge Viper (unsure about ACR version)

[@hammy316]

gorgeous car

[@ahmdfsl]

ah super cars aren't only show they possess ultimate amount of passion in them.

[@sher854]

looking stunning

[@SuperSmellyBob]

Beautiful video. This is my dream car, I hope I could afford it one day.

[@FreeForAllFreak]

The production quality on these videos are absurdly high!

[@w-james9277]

I love this car. Its a supercar you buy when you don't want to show off. You would buy it because you love driving.

[@chickensoupfortheloser8515]

Say a blue v10 plus today (old model), very understated, but beautiful at the same time and with a noise to die for.

[@carlitoxb110]

Man this is a car to show of, the look of this car cant be ignored easily

[@bantu3187]

+Carlitox b But compared to other supercars - ferraris, lambos, mclarens etc, the r8 is very modest.

[@adrianomelloe36]

Congratulations, the reviews are just like in top gear.

[@xxgameoverxx7676]

you guys deserve more subs. ... nice video. .😁😁

[@garethwild7727]

Thanks

[@user-ul4wy2lx2m]

I haven’t driven the v10 but I hope 🤞 to get one . The v8 is a lot of fun though. To bad they don’t make them anymore 😢

[@eliasali9383]

my favorite car show after topgear

[@arminpetschelt8127]

What is wrong with the new design? I think it looks great! Especially the sharp shark-faced front.

[@dlhussain81]

Armin Petschelt I think that design is the best out of all the R8s

[@kenhuang4697]

nice review as usual, too bad i can't afford it!

[@potaka79]

What about the Aventador that's a natural aspirated V12.

[@marcofava]

+Potaka79 Ferrari f12 too

[@alistairherrett2509]

c63 amg huracan aventador sv all Aston's

[@TheEryk03]

+Alistair Herrett c63 amg not anymore...

[@MonteiroM]

+Potaka79 2016 Audi R8. 2016.

[@RAJohnson713]

+Alistair Herrett why are you stating random NA cars???

[@TitelSinistrel]

That Lamborghini V10 has always sounded grate ever since it first appeared in the Gallardo over a decade ago.

[@webcrawler9782]

quality review

[@al8161]

Mindblown! Allways thoguht the intro sound was an XKRS

[@nyssatang1173]

R8 is a life goal for sure

[@RussellRobinson77]

glorious v10 wail

[@frankzhu7765]

Best sound ever!!and this V10 is just amazing!!!!!look at those new supercars:570S,488,AMG GTS...they all turbocharged and they all fast,but,this supercar is not just about fast,is more about 8700 rpm.so,hall of job audi,hall of job!!!

[@suprac19]

8500rpm

[@maincharacter2677]

+suprac19 check on acceleration vid on the 2016 audi r8 it just about hits 9000rpm

[@ToosTraining]

brilliant

[@TheG60528XiJinPing]

I think the 2008 is amazing and timeless the 2019 is aggressive and really gt3 car inspired. But this 2016-2018 model in Ara blue is there most gorgeous car I have ever seen in my entire life, up there with the db5 and 250 gto for me.

[@Zippy_x-un9vw]

My precious

[@SSS-mp8th]

Great review.NA engines are dwindling although in America they are still prevalent in a few segments. At some point that will go away with FI and hybridization.

[@MotokoTai]

The sound...

[@parabolicpanorama]

720p50fps whaa..? No one should ever put a fixed spoiler on their supercar. It should always be retractable. This R8 looks sick though. On another note, how does this channel still have such amazing quality? This looks movie worthy.

[@v_alexiadis]

Great car, great engine, great noise! I think you should switch the V8 in the intro with this one.

[@ghostridertom]

N/A Lexuses F GS-F RC-F also in the club with superb ENGINES.

[@marvelcontestofchampionsba1227]

love that vrrrroooooooommmmm noise loool

[@yhiiloong]

Luv the car... Shame they didn't have a V8 options now.

[@TheCarfanatico]

Need for speed made me fall in love with the r8 and the Z06 need for speed carbon

[@marcop3517]

I reckon the audio from 2:37 to 2:41 could possibly replace the V8 sound (from the older R8) in your intro.

[@inchskater]

I don't see why I should pay the premium on a 911 compared to a cayman. The audi r8 with it's big v10 on the other hand, seems like a different world compared to the TT. At Audi they really seem to know how to make a flagship car stand out! Great video!

[@7ito1990]

1:59 exactly my type of car sound hehehe

[@ibandre73]

Awesome car, with futuristic look 👌👌 A real supercar in the right supercar color RED 😍😍👍

[@shivamsheth6673]

sound of engine💕💕💕💕

[@Kyle.Johnson]

I almost expected it to cut to the Top Gear studio at the end.

[@aaronwalcott513]

2:02 that nutter glance!! LOL. Funny!

[@UKArtlover]

i like it i really do but basically its like a TT thats had a rolling pin taken to it as well as more power added:)

[@Abudness]

Top Gear intro.. I see what you did there!

[@dlhussain81]

I currently own the huracan performante and previously had the r8 and I can assure you the performante feels a lot more solid than the R8. Having said that one costs twice as much as the other so to be expected.

[@leebougz]

Carfection

[@thomasxbl]

You produce the sort of quality you do and that "Click to subscribe" screen you do with Windows Movie Maker? Really?!? Also, why aren't there any credits at the end of the film? CBS or no CBS, that seems wrong to me.

[@alekspen]

this guy is simply brilliant.. you sir are a car reviewing god lol make a channel with chris harris

[@showstoppercars9302]

great

[@GranTurismoJunky]

"The old R8 was good, but this one is better." Well, thank you for that end note.

[@kelvinhuang7000]

the old r8 v10+ is still better looking but i got to say the interior in the new one is amazing

[@lefuedebout]

First time I've seen an R8 driven in the rain and noticed it doesn't have a wiper on the large engine bay cover! Or maybe thats an " extra ".....

[@SandeepGorai]

Sounds so similar like Huracan !!!

[@VictorPitstop]

This guy is ALMOST nearing Chris Harris... he just needs the drive like Chris. Chris can drive the shit out of any car you give him.

[@EmperorXaozx]

This Audi looks as if were inspired by the Huracan, Aventador, and Murcielago LP670-4 SV. I can't rationally see a dynamically styled car that also looks like their rather unassuming sedans.

[@benrutherford5544]

What would you take? (Anyone can answer) This Audi R8 V10 Plus or a Jaguar F Type SVR?

[@TheLejait]

You can get a good example with a manual these days for relatively cheap.

[@purple56jw]

rain man ..!!

[@xavierjones4574]

600hp in that rain, sounds fun

[@AresWasTaken]

I think I'm right in saying that only 3 production cars in the world still use the V10. This, the Huracan, and the Viper (which i believe is going to disappear soon)

[@Brewskidudeski]

the intro was very... very.... top gear.

[@bantu3187]

Which is in no way a bad thing

[@rezzidue1]

The V8 Plus has been out for a while....? This is just a new model of it. You knew that right?

[@HerculanoAlonso]

There's also Maserati for the N/A group. \o/

[@jh5kl]

needs a rs version :)

[@MikeKersley]

I've had Porsches for 10 years. Got bored with them...bought an R8Plus this year and have never looked back. Brilliant car, brilliant dealership at Poole Audi, unfortunately I can't say the same about Porsche at Ferndown who, to be honest, couldn't give a damn about keeping my business. Which to me has turned out to be a good thing - my R8 Plus is brilliant, a head turner, and much better in all respects than my previous 911s. No contest. Porsche at Ferndown need to get their act together!!

[@diarreescheet]

Xcar, i don't have adblock, but a 30sec ad? that's rlly pushing it IMHO

[@aanywherebuthere]

when's coty? +XCARFilms

[@cantavukcuoglu4375]

Even the aston is going turbocharge gosh

[@bicimotoworld4115]

why is the steering weel on the wrong side???

[@cixoushenri]

Depends on the country you live in. Some countries have left sided wheel, some got right.

[@ChrisSs993]

Since Huracan and the R8 are so similiar its all in the matter of which looks the best. Imo, the R8 looks better so...id rather have an Audi today than a Lambo....strange times.

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

This uses the same engine as the later Gallardo

[@bbqboy70]

Dodge Viper will also be the last NA super car as well!

[@AGC828]

Steering doesn't feel "precise"? And you have to get used to the brakes??? How would you compare it to a 2016 911 Turbo S?

[@cantavukcuoglu4375]

Even the aston is going turbochar
