I’ve owned a V10 Plus for three years. You didn’t XPEL (ppf) protect, you aren’t putting premium fuel in, and you are under valuing an average of 17MPG on a V10. You should launch in sport, not performance. Performance mode takes traction control off. The carbon ceramics grind at slow speeds. If you clean it, the surface needs to be properly lubricated or you will scratch it. Most of your complaints are your errors (respectfully). I replaced my paddles with carbon fiber ones, but agree with the plastic paddles. The reverse camera is garbage, agree. You are putting S class expectations on an entry level super car. Love your spec (mine is Nardo). I wish you’d actually read this.
Hi, r8 V10 plus (2nd gen) is my dream car and I'm seriously considering owning it one day. Do you think this car is worth that much money? Do you have any advice? Tnx
I bet he didn't ppf it, or put premium gas just because it wasn't his, so he didn't want to add his own money that wouldn't come back. If this was his I think he would do all those things.
You say you owned the car and I do no think Mat owns these cars. Correct me if I am wrong. Some people want to own a car and some people just want to drive a car. There is also a difference in how people take care of a car and when you have to "give it back" you obviously care less. Same as if you own a house or if you rent one if you ask me. Noneless I own my car and fill it up with E5. I bett my car costs as much as one R8 brake disc.
These cheap shiftpaddels confuse me. Audi has original full aluminium paddels in the RS6 and RS7 part number is 4K0951523F and i retrofitted them into my 2.0 tdi a4 :D And they would just work plug and play in the R8...
youve launched the car in manual mode every race, then it forced itself to shift, unlike the launches that worked the dash said M1S which means the gearbox is in sport, in the launches that have bugged you it was in M1(you need to shift the car) and then when you redlined it the gearbox shifted itself to M2S

@@radiotrancegaming4089 i have a friend who does, he says if traction control is off the car bogs. also, I noticed that Matt launched it manual and then the car redlined and shifted into the next gear prematurely.
That low rumble is what I always loved in the old 6.2L NA AMGs. Ever since I was a kid I liked that kind of sound way more than the high revving, high-pitched Ferarri kind of sound.
The bad launches seem to be an issue with the gearbox shifting too early or late. the "good stuff" does not have a noticeable impact on how the car performs. it does aid in engine health especially in bigger engines like these as it lowers the risk of engine knocking so he should still be buying it.
Haven't thought of this before, but this video made me think how much the different octane fuel impacts the drag races. Especially in turbocharged cars, that can make quite a difference.
The R8 is such a special thing. Perfect combination of understated design with an absolute gem of an engine. It'll be sorely missed. As for a new daily driver, if it's another convertible, probably either a Mercedes-AMG SL 63 or an Aston Martin DB12 Volante.
My Golf convertible does the same heater trick. When you lower the roof, it remembers the last heater settings you had with it down, hot or cold! Brilliant. 👍👍
Shoot I didn't know about the ISOFIX being removed. I didn't check my 2023 before storing it and had planned to take my 4 year old for her first spin after winter is over. I wonder if they removed them from Canadian models also. Agreed with all the good and the bad. Have an RWD and have thought about switching to an AWD, but I have enjoyed the RWD and can barely find enough open road to put the power down as it is, lol.

His complaints that it’s got no adaptive cruise control for (long journeys) and it’s not comfortable enough. It’s a supercar it’s not made for that. That’s your fault if you drive it as a daily driver
I wonder how our us mere mortals without adaptive cruise and matrix lights manage our day to day lives. Glad the car helps you out after your long shift at Carwow 😂😂
I have ACC on my Hyundai and have to travel long motorway distances for work. I could not live with a car that doesnt have it. The R* engine sounds great but this is not a daily driver in my world
isn't that bad Launch Mode issue where it does a bad job of gearing, because of the old software? I remember watching one other car channel that had the same exact issue happening to an R8 and it was fixed after they updated the car's software
why? it's not going to do it any harm the car is literally designed to run on E10 just fine. No one builds cars that wont operate perfectly within their design intended limits on the lowest quality fuel available in the UK, it's not the 90's anymore.
Actually some manufacturers explicitly recommend using premium fuel for their sports cars. Just because it can run on lesser fuel, does not mean it should
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that he didn't get this car PPF'ed? I get that getting PPF can be costly, but it does wonders since seeing all the scratches on this beautiful exterior spec hurts my soul. xD
I understand that you will regret the V10 (awesome) the quattro transmission . Your configuration green car , gold or bronze wheels and the full interior in habana leather is amazing .
I don't think having non-adaptive cruise control is that bad. You have more control of the car. When you need to slow down because someone is infront of you, just use the throttle pedal.
Yeah, funny this. I've literally just sold mine this morning back to the dealership. I was amazed that they took it back. I've had it for 2 years and the last 6 months. It was nothing but a problem build ECU Lights Tyre pressures always going funny engine not working properly during cold start, turning itself off. And I think the one that ignored me the most of the paintwork, constantly getting chips and scratches. And you thinking to yourself? Wearing Earth a vacant from I know. The car is low, but it shouldn't be that bad on the front end..
It's skipping a gear in launch control. The display says it's in 2nd, but the drop to 3000 rpm says it's actually in 3rd. My guess is the gearbox firmware is immediately short shifting as a safety measure to prevent overtorque, and the dash display doesn't get updated when it does this. Software update required?
Adaptive dampers on the R8 seem to have been problematic, perhaps becoming the most common fault and a very very very costly repair, so much so that many people that have the MAG ride installed end up converting them to static (although adjustable shocks) and installing MAG-Delete resistors to fool the car into thinking that the MAG ride shocks are still installed.
I had the opportunity to drive one a few weeks ago. So glad I did. Bucket list item for me weirdly. I own an RS3 because of the engine. My friend let me drive his R8 and the sound of both my car and his, identical, but his is wayyy better haha!

What a great video! Agree 100% Non-adaptive cruise control is worthless - rarely use mine. Ah, memories of the Audi engine bogging down - about the most irritated I've seen you in video.
3:32 had it for 9 months and the leather at the edge of the passanger seat is already creased? I mean that's one of the turn-offs for when I was looking at an RS5, but didn't expect this in an R8.
Audi's are cars that in general you will like / love until you reach certain time / mileage where the car starts failing or breaks badly, you spend tons of money and then you start hating it (my personal story with my A4 that had a big engine failure at 60k miles)
Gah, don't put chip fat quality petrol in there! Most modern cars adjust timing based on what you put in. So by putting low quality fuel in, the timing gets pulled and power is lost. The kicker is that the ECU will ultimately just keep those settings the longer you persist with crappy fuel. Then it won't even matter if you put 99 in there and you'll need the ECU reset to get the lost power back. This is why so many performance cars go on a dyno after 5 to 10 years and don't make the quoted power.
I’ve a gen 1 V10 and was thinking about getting a basic Lambo Hurrican, the Audi is sensational so I’m not sure if it will be the right move (extra £60k too!)
FYI there are two settings for the temperature one for when the roof is up and one for when the roof is down whatever you make those settings at that's what they'll be at
Surprised you didn't know about the ac switching between roof open and roof closed mode. My 15 year old A5 convertible has this even. It goes back to the settings you had when you closed or opened the roof last.
MAT! The reason your Audi was bogging down is because you were launching it in second gear. The times where it launched perfectly, the car was in 1st gear. Look at the video and you'll see the gear displayed in the video.
@@luke78333 I did watch the video in its entirety. I can assure you the car launches in 1st. The reason you “think” that it starts in 2nd is cause the car has inconsistencies in its launch control performance. When the car drops the clutch sometimes the wheel spin isn’t managed properly and causes the car to ultimately cut all power. This is called bogging down. Additionally, the car’s transmission programming unfortunately also decided to upshift when the bogging down happens. This makes the car slow off the line as you are witnessing in the video.
I really don’t understand why the most expensive Audi has the cheapest entertainment system available and like the a3 has a much better screen, haha makes no sense 😂

FYI there are two settings for the temperature one for when the roof is up and one for when the roof is down whatever you make those settings at that's what they'll be at
That heating thing... My 2010 A3 does the same. So I guess it is the same on all convertible Audis. ;)
That noise was just like the Sukhoi SU 57 aircraft noise. 😂😂
Matt who is the face of a 9m subscriber youtube channel: I get constant attention and people get level to wave hi on the motorway. Because of the car!
Your humor is on point, always puts a smile on my face!
The Elise 2011 and 1996 Elise both equally better like Audi R8 Spyder.

@@purwantiallan5089 utter nonsense AGAIN.
@@purwantiallan5089 Both are good but there is no way theyre better than Audi R8
Surprised you didn't know about the ac switching between roof open and roof closed mode. My 15 year old A5 convertible has this even. It goes back to the settings you had when you closed or opened the roof last.
MAT! The reason your Audi was bogging down is because you were launching it in second gear. The times where it launched perfectly, the car was in 1st gear. Look at the video and you'll see the gear displayed in the video.
If true, that is pretty funny. 🤣
@@cbotten106He launched in first gear all the time. The car wouldn’t launch from 2nd. Real smart you two.
@@RichardMille1015 Just watch the video, The Audi's display shows that he launched from second gear. The good launches show 1st gear.
@@luke78333 I did watch the video in its entirety. I can assure you the car launches in 1st. The reason you “think” that it starts in 2nd is cause the car has inconsistencies in its launch control performance. When the car drops the clutch sometimes the wheel spin isn’t managed properly and causes the car to ultimately cut all power. This is called bogging down. Additionally, the car’s transmission programming unfortunately also decided to upshift when the bogging down happens. This makes the car slow off the line as you are witnessing in the video.
@@luke78333 You are getting fooled by car displays man. Gotta step it up to make it out here. Especially these days.
I really don’t understand why the most expensive Audi has the cheapest entertainment system available and like the a3 has a much better screen, haha makes no sense 😂
Spectacular.
Has putting normal 95 octane something to do with bad launch times? I would say so
