This is the new Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD!
That’s right, Audi’s all-conquering everyday supercar is now available in rear-wheel drive! The question is, should you choose it over the Quattro? It’s time to find out.
For starters, if you’re a fan of the looks of the Quattro, then you’re in luck! The RWD edition is almost identical to the four-wheel-drive edition both outside and in. Bar the odd bit of RWD badging, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the two different models for each other.
But it’s not the looks which are the same - you’ll still find the glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 hidden under the glass roof, which puts down an almighty 570hp & 550Nm of torque. And yes, it still sounds absolutely incredible… At least, it does when you’re moving so Audi’s soft limiter doesn’t ruin your fun!
The question is, should you stump up £133,000+ for one and choose it over the Quattro?! You’ll have to stick with Mat & find out!

@@JackMott False. We're comparing two identical cars. A higher horsepower AWD car will have far more parasitic loss of power getting to the tires vs RWD where the engine is feeding it directly. The AWD version will be significantly heavier and because of the front driven axle it will understeer. I have the 540 hp RWD version from 2021 and I'm significantly faster on a circuit than I was in the 610 hp AWD. The R8 LMS/GT3 is also rear powered.

@@SE-dn7xl Suppose it was raining. Suppose you were on a much tighter circuit where putting power down on corner exit is a struggle for the RWD car, or a circuit with a much less sticky surface, or a tight circuit in cold weather. I agree that RWD will *tend* to be faster around a circuit, especially if you are bringing good tires to the track, as people tend to do.

Remember that commercial for R8, camera moving slowly from front of the car, that's straped on dynamometer rollers, towards back of the car.

Engine hits red line trough gears, straps barely holding it down, pure power in action and then calming trough downshifting. Instant goosebumps 🤤

@SE-dn7xl 2 жыл бұрын
@@Sean-if7rp Less weight, less understeer, better balance. Depends on the track - on power tracks the lap pace is less affected but low/medium speed corners would cost the R8 Quattro time. I'm around 2-3 seconds faster with an ok lap than the times I've seen for WGI.

@@Sean-if7rp No, funny enough every last component of that engine including every screw and bolt is identical on the Huracan STO LP640. So realistically, yeah you can easily tune the engine reliably to an identical map but I'm waiting for my warranty to expire. It's a 2021.

Quick tip for bypassing the rev limiter, if it's an auto put it in drive let it roll and while it's rolling put it in neutral and thrash that throttle 👌

These plastic shifter paddles on an otherwise great steering wheel are really a bad joke on a >100k car. Especially as it‘s a part you’re constantly touching. I didn’t enjoy them in my S5 - I would hate them in a R8. Porsche and Mercedes/AMG (even BMW to a certain degree) do a better job on those. So many bits on the interior (middle console etc.) are also the same in an A4. I‘d rather get a „cheap“ Porsche with a great engine (Cayman GTS 4.0) with the same interior as the top Line (Turbo S) than a super expensive R8 with the same interior as an everyday middle class A4 family saloon.
