This is the new Audi R8 RWS, the first rear driven R8 and I got an opportunity to drive it around the Dubai Autodrome! Join me to find out whether it's the perfect supercar drift machine?
AWESOME Video Shmee! I’ve NEVER commented on ANY video, but I’ve been watching your videos for years! I want to congratulate and encourage you on your new “car music video montage” at the beginning! Amazing! Always great videos, but I think this added something for me that put it over the top! Cheers! -Aaron
Definitely the Rogue Wild Side of not just the R8, but all of Audi. A spectacular Quattro-defying drift machine that will, without any doubt, become a showstopper.
A dying breed that's going to be hard to replicate in today's technology on super cars of the road. An absolute and thrilling experience cornering well around the sharp bends.
Wow, great editing Tim, grear car, great content on your channel, you have one of the best car content on whole youtube, keep goin' wish you all the best.. greetings from Bosnia 👌
The R8 RWS looks definitely on point! The body-colored panels on the doors blend in with the overall design way more naturally than the carbon-colored quattro ones imo.
It’s the other way around, the Huracan was inspired and built based on the R8, that’s why Lambo and Audi is sharing the chassis and the V10 and other components. But they are both owned by Volkswagen.
Me.Grazzhoppah if Huracan is made on R8 why is it so that Audi is cutting R8 off the line?? There will be no successor due to poor sales!!!! Yes and this rws is a clever way to sell the remaining units!!!
They had it a bit easier back then, if you knew the right people you could drive pretty much everything. They strapped something reminescent of a taillight on the back and one prototype got a headlight aswell, but then they just drove them, displaying their "future technology" to the masses.
I think there are to many supercars with 4 wheel drive these days the madness of the tail happy track weapon seem a to distant memory always liked the R8 though nice to see them doing something different with it top video shmee well done!

So excited for your GT3 to come and the GT next year
And the griffith
Shmee150 wait a minute am I the first person to comment on your post
Shmee150 NO
How to sell 999 Audi R8s in 1 minute??Make them with REAR WHEEL DRIVE!
Scirocco ThePunisher and for everybody else, RWD Hurecan still for sale😂
You will be surprised ;) AWD>RWD
TheEryk03 not mid-engined super car, you can't find 4wd F1 for some reason
kenneth law and the reason is FIA... If rules would allow awd in F1 next year all of the cars would be AWD.
Your channel keeps on getting better!! It’s the new Top Gear 😋 Keep it up Tim.

The edit, in the beginning, is Amazing

The R8 RWS looks definitely on point! The body-colored panels on the doors blend in with the overall design way more naturally than the carbon-colored quattro ones imo.
Good move for Audi to make the R8 RWD and I like the white side blade, blends the car well !
Audi R8 Rather Wheel Smoke!! A very nice video Shmee.

kraenk12 another one
Tim, Shmee, buddy... We need more of those cinematic shots in episodes! They are bloody beautiful!
Not always possible due to timing ;)
10:15 this is what happens if you do NOT have Quattro.
From 0:57 to 1:41 are very amazing camera positions ... great editing
Great shots and editing. Keep it up!!!
This was massive fun just watching,I can not imagine how was to drive it
SHMEE , the best car content on UA-cam.keep it up!

Not done by Audi, Kraenk12
Shmee150 you tell him shmee :)
Nice video on a fantastic car!
R8 RWS = Limited Edition RWD Huracán
It’s the other way around, the Huracan was inspired and built based on the R8, that’s why Lambo and Audi is sharing the chassis and the V10 and other components. But they are both owned by Volkswagen.
huracan does in fact have RWD only option, the LP-580. where have u been?
Pierre Argubi yeah, I'm pretty sure that "Drowzee Insomnio" knows that. They're just saying how it's a limited edition LP-580
Me.Grazzhoppah if Huracan is made on R8 why is it so that Audi is cutting R8 off the line?? There will be no successor due to poor sales!!!! Yes and this rws is a clever way to sell the remaining units!!!
Also audi owns Lamborghini so the huracan is an r8 if ask for it
Your edit is amazing
The editing was Awesome !!!
All credits to Ben
Beautiful as always
Perfect for Paul Wallace :p
This is being added to my dream car list along with the Huracan LP-580-2 and a 570GT
You are amazing!!!!!
amazing editing
All credits to Ben
Just got my R8 rws yesterday, crazy beast of a car
Do you still have your R8? I’m considering picking one up here. How’d like yours?
Imagine this thing in a performante spec: track oriented and more powaaar :D
I love this car so much! I would get the Vorsteiner body kit with the carbon spoiler and wheels and the VF supercharger! Dream build
Nice car.. Sophia has one ordered..Hope you two will be meeting up in Deutschland with your GT3 and her RWS
Bois getting handy with the car.
Nice to see another track test
Not much beats an open track and a new car to go explore it in
I can’t wait to get mine😬
It sounds a very interesting formula.
This isn't just the first RWD R8, it's the first RWD Audi, full stop!
Matt Shmatt 1 aside from the silverarrow, yes
fphedman that's not a road car, there're plenty of RWD Audi race cars.
It and its prototype siblings where roadlegal at the time, so technically they were roadcars as well, like the McSenna will be today
fphedman oh really? Didn't know it was road legal.
They had it a bit easier back then, if you knew the right people you could drive pretty much everything. They strapped something reminescent of a taillight on the back and one prototype got a headlight aswell, but then they just drove them, displaying their "future technology" to the masses.
Very cool!🏎🔥🔥
Great review. Great car.
damn that looks FUN
oooohhh yes!!
RWD R8 = 900 of the 999 will probably be wrapped around a tree/lamp post before the warranty runs out
only 99 not 999...
never mind
Roadside Wreck Series
so right!
Only if you can't drift, if you can it's just a nice funthing
Nice intro clip
Bring that to melbourne and you've made a lebanese man's dream. rwd r8= ultimate hoon machine.
Nice edit
Awesome! But it would be a lot cooler if it has a manual gearbox too
I think this is first rwd Audi in all history of Audi
Nice video...!
Good...! Best
A manual would have made this R8 even more special. They also should introduce the 610 HP engine in this RWS R8 as an option with a manual.
i liked the intro and choice of music . more of it would be nice . !
Asks decent editing time which is not always there.
Dubai videos are back ❤️
Hi Tim!!! Fun car!
Good grief, Tim. Do you even remember what your home looks like? So much travel for our entertainment! Thanks for that!
Dreamcar
A great move by Audi.
Looks good 😍

Sideways beast
I like the 40l/100km average consumption :)
I love it! Shame it's not the plus version with 610 hp though. More power = bigger drifts! Love the white with offset red stripe also. Great spec!
nice one shmee150 drift compilation coming soon ?
Nope not planned
I think there are to many supercars with 4 wheel drive these days the madness of the tail happy track weapon seem a to distant memory always liked the R8 though nice to see them doing something different with it top video shmee well done!
Similar to the LP580-2 just without the crazy lamborghininess. Like it though!
Rear wheel drive Audi r8 that's nice
Wouwww 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
*_Great video Tim! Do you still prefer the 991.2 GT3 over the R8 RWS? Which car do you think has better steering feel? Many thanks!_*
Great question. Both have naturally aspirated high revving engines and are RWD. Fingers crossed he answers!
GT3!
Wow, thank you for your reply!!
GT3 has a manual, so the GT3.
4:00 "Super rare". Then I got an advert for Asda which was just a 5 second shot of steak 😂😂
Curious to see Chriss Harris playing with this
Can't wait to see Chris Harris hoon this on track!
