9,000 rpm is Audi R8 RWS Wow!
Welcome to a video I'm so excited of this and this isn't
clickbait and I'm not actually gonna get arrested for doing this, wicked
so we are gonna do a hundred-mile-an-hour in this brand new
Audi r8 now this isn't just any R8 this is the brand new r8 v10 rear wheel
series so it's the rear wheel drive version of this car it's obviously
running 540 horsepower which is absolutely insane cost 107 thousand
pounds so I don't know where I'm gonna find that money from right now but the
experience is what I'm about so again welcome to another kind of shotgun video
because I'm at the Millbrook test track and what that means is that we
get an opportunity to jump into all of these cars which is an absolutely
fantastic have a go in them get a feel for them but more importantly drive them
at speed limits there are not legal on the public road but all are legal here
at the Milbrook test track now I'm super excited, this is the first time I've ever
driven an Audi r8 this is again has the virtual cockpit as all-new Audi R8's do. I'm
really liking the spec on this with the blue stitching and the kind of black
interior all black outside looks absolutely bonkers it's the first time
I've ever kind of gone on they call the high speed speed loop
but basically means I can drive very fast on my own legally and do a
hundred mile an hour and that's exactly what we're gonna do. listen to that v10
now joining...
and we are going for it
so right now we are doing 100 miles an hour in this Audi r8 v10 rear wheel drive
series and obviously it feels completely completely solid. it's planted its
low I am talking to you a hundred miles an hour now as if I could be talking to
you doing 30 miles an hour in a normal car that's how well refined this car is
I mean seventh gear cruise but listen is listen to the noise
listen to the noise ok
yeah that is um...
and this thing revs to just shy of 9,000 rpm 9,000 rpm this Audi R8!
Wow all right we need to do that again
Nine thousand rpm
100 mph!!
this is one of those experiences that I'm gonna remember for a very long
time look at the smile but the thing that really gets to me about this Audi R8
is the sound and the grunt and the pick up to get to 9000 rpm and keep going
it's insane absolutely insane now obviously this
video is not a review if you're watching this it's because you thought I wonder
how he has been arrested doing 100 mph in this video but again as I
mentioned earlier being here at the Millbrook proving
ground it's an opportunity for us kind of motor journalists if you like
influencers etc to try out some of the manufacturer cars that they've enabled
us to to drive. you've got a hillclimb you've got a
speed loop you've got a city drive that allows you to experience all kind of
elements of the car legally and again if you ask me that I can do a hundred mile
an hour what I going to do and I will really try to slow down I'm gonna
get told off. first gear..
obviously this this engine is the
same engine that you find in the Hurrican, it's the same engine..
there goes an AMG GT R that's being driven by somebody else because that's
going fast!! but that looks mean but you've got
the same engine the 5.2 you get in the Lamborghini Huracan
in this car and this for me its an absolute thoroughbred supercar
it sounds like a supercar it goes like a supercar... it is a
supercar. my word, driving this Audi R8 is
insane absolutely insane really enjoying it
now obviously we've got limited time with these cars so whilst I really
wanted to bring you lots of cinematics i haven't really had the time to because just as
I've had to queue up for this car there are other journalists and other
influencers who all want to have a go so i am going to make the most
accelerating this car and hearing that V10
believe me 9000 rpm
and it just wants to keep going they've specifically said to us please limit
yourself to a hundred mile an hour but I guarantee you
I'm doing a hundred miles an hour in third gear, in third gear and this has
seven it has seven gears so you can imagine how fast this thing really is
Audi have absolutely done it well with this. quite and of course it is rear-wheel
drive this is the rear wheel drive car and super stable you know not once have
I felt the backend kick out at all whatsoever granted I haven't really
unleashed first gear much.. in fact
first gear
it really sucks you back and you can feel the g-forces in this car you genuinely
generally can, it's it's pretty insane it's pretty special
okay now back to legal roads ish what do we think? what do you think? that must
have sounded incredible I mean sounded incredible for me the symphony of the
v10 Orchestra behind me is absolutely incredible it's an experience that I
want much more off than just 15 minutes I need to figure out how to make that happen
yeah what an experience being able to do 100 miles an hour legally and not
worrying about losing my license that's great fun
now guys again apologies is not too much in this video other than literally a
hoon and some of you guys are going to like that because some of you guys say to me
we want to see you driving the car hard and we
did just that I drove the hell out of this Audi R8, it's a beautiful car I think
visually it looks absolutely stunning the interior cockpit of this car looks
very futuristic the virtual cockpit in front of me the digital dash again
tremendous. I'm just I mean i really like the Audi
R8 rear wheel drive series
