We’ve got our hands on every generation of Audi R8, and they’re about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile to see how this stupendous supercar has evolved over the years!
We’re starting with the Mk1 R8 V8 from 2007. It’s powered by a 4.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can produce 414hp and 430Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and when new the starting price was just over £78,000.
Moving forward to the latest car, we have the R8 GT Mk2. It arrives packing a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, and this can put down 620hp and 565Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and as new the car costs a staggering £200,000!
In between the two, we’ve got all other generations of R8 - the GT Spyder Mk1, the LMX Mk1, the R8 RWS Mk2, and the R8 Spyder Performance Mk2!
The question is, will the newest car, the GT Mk2, snatch the win? Or will the lack of all-wheel drive prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Yinanni loves Huracan but R8's of the same year should have the same techs because all the techs basically came from Audi no matter what Lamborghini says. So If Huracan 2015 has a DCT, R8 2015 should have one as well.

@flobama3247 2 күн бұрын

Disagree. They looked better as they got facelifted over the years. And as far as it being special, if that was the case then it wouldn't be the cheapest one. The original R8 literally has the same horsepower as the BMW M3 did during those same years, except Audi charged way more for the R8. It wasn't anything revolutionary. Just a small displacement V8 sports car sold and marketed as a "super car" when it really wasn't.

How are the running costs? Are they super car levels like Mat suggested?

@pkbeast 23 сағат бұрын

@@matpat2636 So for running costs, empty to full on Shell V-Power it's around £120 a pop but as a weekend car, I've only ever filled her up twice in a month max. Road Tax is £735 this year and for insurance, your mileage will vary but I was shocked at mine. Admittedly I'm 35, no points on license, parking on a driveway with no claims and multi car discount but the R8 was only £950 for the year! Mat isn't wrong when it comes to the repair costs. General rule of thumb is around £1k (parts & labour) for any small mechanical issue and it goes up from there. Of course that isn't the full story. Apart from a few common issues, R8s are actually pretty damn reliable. My advise is research research research. Find out the common problems and how to spot them. When buying, use that knowledge to walk away from bad deals/negotiate the price down. During the over 1.5 years of ownership (and 6K miles) I've spent £1730 for an MOT/major service/seized hand brake and then £1230 for a Valve Control Box replacement for my aftermarket exhaust (not even really counting that as not OEM). REPerformance (THE go to mechanics for R8s) have gone top to bottom and found mine (barring that hand brake) to be in mint condition so I expect to not have to shell out for much at all in the coming years. I get it, it's all relative. Compare R8 costs to say a Punto, it will 100% feel like supercar levels. Get yourself a good specimen and then compare it to Ferrari/Lambo, it's actually pretty damn reasonable, maybe even cheap.

Listen to those sounds during the race ❤

Stats comparison table please!! Those races are double as much fun if o can pick my favorite upfront… unfortunately once the second driver starts talking I already forgot the stats of the first car… and esp. with so many cars!

Dude one of my dream cars is the gen 1 R8 in grey with black rims, and the iconic side strip in black, maybe convertible too if I find one

The ‘64 plate 2015 R8 LMX has the dual clutch S tronic, not the R tronic, which was introduced when the Gen 1 was facelifted.

Love that sound from the R8 engine ❤🔥

The LMX has a 7-speed dual clutch instead of the old 6-speed. That's why it is so much faster than the R8 GT.

R8 GT vs 2024 RS 7 would be cool, I would also be interested in a drag rece between A7 vs S7 vs RS7 all stock

The R8 has always been a dream car of mine. It was the first car that really stood out to me as a kid because of Iron Man and Forza 4. I have always loved how classy it looks while packing an engine that screams like a banshee.

The original Audi R8 was my dream car at 17. Now that I'm 32, it feels like the end of an era. The R8 served us well.

I knew the r8 was going to come out on top lol 😂 I have the mk1 v8 with the gated manual and it’s not a problem for me that it’s the slowest but it drives very well. 😊

The dual-clutch transmission (S tronic) was first introduced in the Audi R8 for the 2014 model year. It replaced the previously available R tronic automated manual transmission.
