The R8 V10 Plus is definitely a supercar. How is a mid-engine V10, 0-60 in the 2 second range, $200,000, 2-seater considered "almost-supercar"?? I swear Audi doesn't get the respect they deserve sometimes.
If Doug Demero considers it to be on the same level as a Lamborghini Huracan and a Ferrari 488 GTB and directly calls it an exotic supercar, I'd say it is.
@@jacksonscruggs5810 bro you realise its those who know nothing of the car's internals that be saying a R8 is not a supercar they don't even know without Audi the huracan wouldn't even be what it is coz its make up is mostly Audi equipment
How dare you call these two marvelous engineered machines "almost supercars"?!?! The Audi R8's motor is the same engine as in the Huraćan. Is the Huraćan not a supercar??
lol "supercar" is nothing but a marketing word used by manufacturers of expensive cars to make their cars sound better than the rest. first it was "supercar", then some manufacturers thought it wasn't good enough and invented "hypercar", then koenigsegg comes in with the "megacar". What's next? Realistically, all road going lambos and ferraris are SPORTS CARS, nothing else.
why are The autoguide videos soo boring even with such exotic cars the videos are very dull and boring ... Craig Cole is probably the only proper car journalist at Autoguide who can make interesting videos
The funny part is that he totally praised the 570S at first and then all the negativity for the R8. And in the end , the praised 570S lost against the R8. Make Up Your Goddamn Mind AutoGuide 😂😂. I personally would choose the R8 V10 Plus
Magnum PI poor people?? Shut the fuck up. I've been driving luxury cars since I was 17. I can afford cars from 50 to 65k. So tell me what can you afford? Yes I can't afford a 200k car right now but that's why I'm busting my ass in school so I'll have a better future. Typical Audi fanboy! probably can't even afford an A3
Yeah, I debated that with myself as well... McLaren calls this the Sports Series, and the 650/675 is their Super Series, and the R8 is close, but I don't consider the Porsche Turbos supercars, so if it competes with them, these aren't quite supercars... other times i think of these two as supercars.
Nigerian Prince agreed. I would maybe coin then budget supercars if you want to get really silly.. cuz I don't see how anything over 100k can be considered 'budget'
Many haters and shit-talkers posting comments, so here's some honest feedback... both good and bad. On the good side: Great couple of cars to review. Yes, they are expensive but not completely out of reach of someone who's made some good business decisions and the kids are now out of the house. Making entertaining and interesting car review videos is difficult, especially when the bar is set high by folks like the original top gear team, Carlos Lago at MT, and Chris Harris. Jonathan, you actually do fine in front of the camera. On the bad side: The purpose of these cars is not driving them on the street. These are high-end track cars that happen to be street legal. With power to weight ratios of around 2.5 kilos per HP, we all know they are going to be quicker than nearly every other car on the road. Therefore this review is desperately in need of some track testing footage, preferably with a highly skilled driver at the wheel. At a minimum you needed a closed road with some high speed video. We got none of that! As a result, what we're left with is a regular guy telling us things about these cars like seat comfort, steering wheel buttons, and outward visibility. All things we can see and hear at our local dealership or at a car show. Sorry Jonathan but you didn't present anything that every single viewer didn't already know about both of these cars. Hopefully you take this feedback seriously and work to improve the AutoGuide video review product.
justin bouche it also is fun on the track. I like it better than the 458 or Huracan with exception of the turbo lag. I just started punching it just before the apex to get the power coming out...otherwise it would lag on tight corners. The 458 can't decide which gear it wants to be in and the Huracan felt more like a daily driver. A really cool looking daily driver.
"Almost supercars?" Are you joking? The new R8 especially is a reskinned Huracàn and the 570S is as fast, if not faster than a 458 Italia. A benchmark when it came out. Its almost insulting not to call these two supercars
This was a fun, entertaining review. I think it's unnecessary to reserve the title, 'supercar' such that these may only be referred to as 'almost supercars'. IMHO these are both pretty dang super. I respectfully disagree about the interior of the Audi being the better one. Maybe you saw or felt materials that seem better but in regard to beautiful and emotive design, McLaren amazes me with every detail. My favorite interior feature being those vents that look like turbine engines. So far, accounts of owners shelling out tens of thousands for out of warranty repairs on earlier McLaren, like the 12c have kept me away from them. But I hope to hear the 570s and other recent models prove more reliable so that their well known depreciation cycle can bring a 2017 model within a working man's reach in a couple more years.
well while it is just so impressing to see mclaren bringing out those perfect cars with only a tiny bit of road car heritage I still don't like the back end of the 570 and 540. in terms of looks the audi wins it easily I find...
stopped watching after "impractical" and "almost super car" comments....i dont know about the Mclaren 570s but the R8 is one of the most practical supercars on the market. I had a 2012 R8 V8 as my daily car (and only car) for 3 years.....and im sorry but how the hell these two are not supercars?? im guessing just because they dont have a 300k+ price tag...
I need craig cole's wit, vocabulary, humour and excitement in these kind of reviews. This guy is as boring a corolla.he should review corollas and kias
I don't know what is his guidelines, or how he defines it, price? Lap time? Acceleration? Top speed? Luxuriousness? You surely can't count on what mclaren have to name their own production line... they called 570s sport, but really it posts similar laptime on a track with 675. GTR is a super car, and this R8 accelerates faster than GTR
I believe you can lease a mclaren via their own financial services. I think they use Ally. Lease would restrict the miles you get to use though. Hope that helps!
Jesus H Medrano Lol you are WOEFULLY misinformed. You're thinking of stereotypes from 15-20 years ago. Today's German cars, specifically cars like Audi which are owned by VW-Group, are EXTREMELY reliable. Consumer Reports just listed their reliability index for this year, and Audi was in 2nd place (only behind Tesla). Porsche was #3.
David T. sorry but i speak from experience not information. last time i tried to buy a mercedes was in 2008 car never made it out of the dealer because of a check engine light.they replaced 2 sensors and stil cluldnt fix it. ended up buying a is350, now if am gonna base it on my cousins and uncles lets just put it this way the all have japanese cara because they wer tired of the stupid glitches and trips to the dealers and this wer new cars 2008 and up.
Jesus H Medrano 2008 is almost a decade ago... A lot has changed since then. I'm on my second VW, my father owns 2 BMWs, and my mom owns a Mercedes. All these cars have been nothing but reliable and have had no issues. You're speaking of problems that just don't exist anymore.
David T. if u dont believe me and check consumer reports i think audi this year finally .ade it.to the avergae ratinf but the rest pf the german cara are poor rating. japaneae cars usually above average or excellent.
Something most journalists don't mention , fans of cars like this...is their true thoughts about potentially buying or owning a turbocharged car. And that is the lag time. Personally, I would find that annoying in a high dollar sports car. Even an affordable car. But more so if I was to spend upwards of $100k. To step on the gas only to have the car putter along for a few seconds while it spools up...then suddenly getting that rush of power...I'd find that annoying. For that reason alone I'd opt for the R8 in this case. it's a shame that there are less and less naturally aspirated cars being made. Just a handful (e.g. Porsche 911 GT3, Lamborghini Huracan, Audi R8...umm...that's it? Just 3 cars???). :) Just 3 NA sports cars in this price range?? :) Every one else has gone TT or using a supercharger...and maybe the Aston Martin Vanquish S ...that is still naturally aspirated. If it isn't Aston Martin didn't mention (no photos of the Vanquish S engine...DB11 is using TT too now).
... the Audi is a super car. However, the 570s is the best sport car currently on the market (not counting the 718 Boxter and Miata). If you want every day usability, go for the 570s. The Audi is great, but it's not every day good. Super cars are not good "every day" cars. Sport cars are better on the road (non-track)
The R8 has a great engine and lovely to use everyday, very practical. But when you are spending this much money on a 2 seater sports car, is that really the most important thing???? As a result the Mclaren wins. It has to. It's more exotic, exciting, raucous and raw, nimble and light.
Did Audi pay for this review? Hahahahaha. The 570S has beat the R8 consistently on mostly every other review. From personal experience with both, I'll take the 570. Oh wait...I already took the 570. 😬
Angel Diaz I’m considering this car, how are the brakes? I’ve heard you need to stand on them hard to make it stop. Also why are rear tires only 285? Can they be upgraded
Even though they are both technically sports cars, if the Huracán is considered a super car then the Audi has to be. The McLaren is more a super car as well
Audi looks like an average ladies TT, interior looks generic, basically a boring sports car at best. McLaren looks like a hyper car, with a super cool practical interior, easily the best in it's class.
If I was a billionaire and lived on the track then I'd take the McLaren toy. But since I'm just a poor millionaire who has to consider things like repair bills, reliability, and daily-drivability I'll take the R8 any day. The R8 sounds so much better and is a much better all-around car where as the McLaren really is only good for the track -- horrible and clunky at low speeds.
Some don't like the rear of it, but the R8 looks like a Bugatti/AudiTT hybrid it just doesn't look nice, it's not a car that people would stare at the most if it was driving down a street together with the 570s.
The R8 V10 Plus is definitely a supercar. How is a mid-engine V10, 0-60 in the 2 second range, $200,000, 2-seater considered "almost-supercar"?? I swear Audi doesn't get the respect they deserve sometimes.

An R8 and a Porsche 911 ARE NOT super cars !
How dare you call these two marvelous engineered machines "almost supercars"?!?! The Audi R8's motor is the same engine as in the Huraćan. Is the Huraćan not a supercar??

yea lol its the same if not faster than the huracan lol

Audi has a “super car” engine but a sports car body.
McLaren has both engine and body supercar appeal
"Almost supercar" are you that triggered to not consider these supercars? Maybe your Sienna is a supercar lmao
The 570s does not have scissor doors! It has dihiedral doors
Thank you, what a dipshit the presenter is. Instant credibility loss.
Nevan Ranasinghe I think it has butterfly doors
@@urgetodrive oh get a grip lol
The R8 is and has always been my dream car.
Looks kinda ugly like a Bugatti/AudiTT hybrid.
Victor K nah, the mclaren reminds me of a toy car. The headlights reminds me of McDonald’s arches
Same
Jesus christ. 2006 called, it wants its shitty car review back.
Chris Sorreda 😂😂😂
R8 v10 plus not a super car? It has 610bhp and 200mph....you lost me after that not being credible!
alan jackson they only used the v10 version not the plus
@@jeremydipego126 that is a plus
why are The autoguide videos soo boring even with such exotic cars the videos are very dull and boring ... Craig Cole is probably the only proper car journalist at Autoguide who can make interesting videos
john Funkor everyone else sounds so scripted.
These are definitely supercars…
"Almost" super car? So confused
this guy is really dumb. "Almost super car" and the car has 610 BHP? Wtf?
Mustang type car- sports car
Huracán type car- super car
Laferrari type car- hypercar
Egg one:1- megacar
R8 all day
"Almost Super"?! You're a very funny guy! Lol.
R8 the best!
The funny part is that he totally praised the 570S at first and then all the negativity for the R8. And in the end , the praised 570S lost against the R8. Make Up Your Goddamn Mind AutoGuide 😂😂. I personally would choose the R8 V10 Plus

The R8 and Mclaren 570s are legitimate supercars
Nigerian Prince agreed. I would maybe coin then budget supercars if you want to get really silly.. cuz I don't see how anything over 100k can be considered 'budget'
if they say the r8 isn't a supercar then the huracan shouldn't be one because the r8 is faster than it
both of them are my dream cars and both of them are beautiful as hell
Holy shit now. Every other proper driver who's reviewed these cars says the R8 gets old, while you could daily the 570S for years and not get bored.
This review is so boring I can't even watch the whole thing. Thumbs down and move on.
r8 i think its more fun and i know its nit rwd but tou can slide and have fun and i think it looks better fo me than mclaren
R8 all day!!!
Is there room in the 2017 Audi R8 for twin turbos and or a supercharger?
I'll come back when Jodi and Craig do this review over.

"Almost supercar segment"?? These ARE supercars bub.. Entry level supercars granted, but bona fide supercars none the less...
Mclaren wins hands down. RWD, V8, light weight, more unique, and its orange.
justin bouche it also is fun on the track. I like it better than the 458 or Huracan with exception of the turbo lag. I just started punching it just before the apex to get the power coming out...otherwise it would lag on tight corners.

Justin Bouche since when does v8 > v10?!
since always
naturally asperated, if it were about sound.. yea the v8s usually win
R8 sounds way better
"Almost supercars?"
Are you joking? The new R8 especially is a reskinned Huracàn and the 570S is as fast, if not faster than a 458 Italia. A benchmark when it came out. Its almost insulting not to call these two supercars
great review👍👍I will buy lamborgani huracan before r8 or 570
the mclaren a brilliant car, but that audi wins for me
But I go for mclaren.
Me to

And we just got Rick Rolld with that intro
The 570s looks happy and friendly p, the r8 looks like its gonna kill you. But i like both and my dream car is the 570s from when i came out.
If these 2 dont even qualify to be called supercars, then I don't know what to think.
well while it is just so impressing to see mclaren bringing out those perfect cars with only a tiny bit of road car heritage I still don't like the back end of the 570 and 540. in terms of looks the audi wins it easily I find...
Tom Nowak
I find it to be one of the better-looking supercars ever created. The new R8, that is!
I would consider these two supercars... 570s all the way!
I'd take the exotic Mclaren over what looks like a pimped up Audi TT
They are supercars since weight-to-power ratio of those two cars are very near to 2.5kg/hp like Ferrari 458 Speciale and Huracan LP610-4.
stopped watching after "impractical" and "almost super car" comments....i dont know about the Mclaren 570s but the R8 is one of the most practical supercars on the market.

The R8 IS faster 0-60 and in the 1/4 by a hair after that and from a roll the 570s eats it those are FACTS
I live in Australia and will be buying either one of these or the Huracan for my 28th birthday. I can't make my mind up. Any suggestions?
Moo WWs drive all three
Audi R8 v10 plus can reach 0-60 about 2.7 sec not 3.2
This is what happens when you take your tech review format and try to apply it to cars.
Didn't really look into the R8. Got the 570s in July and haven't looked back... other than to look at the headlights behind me.
Billy Kim Can you lease those type of cars or you have to buy them?
I believe you can lease a mclaren via their own financial services. I think they use Ally. Lease would restrict the miles you get to use though. Hope that helps!
I can't afford or lease. I was just wondering since lately I seeing a lot of s class be leasing. I figured soon supercars will be to
How reliable has it been so far
r8 for the sound. 570s for the performance

Sounds like nothing else? How about a huracan? Its litteraly the same engine.
The Mclaren May be under 3,000 pounds, but once I sit in it, it’ll go way above that weight

The R8 has a great engine and lovely to use everyday, very practical. But when you are spending this much money on a 2 seater sports car, is that really the most important thing???? As a result the Mclaren wins. It has to. It's more exotic, exciting, raucous and raw, nimble and light.

My beautiful dream car is the Audi damm 610HP
They actually are both supercar.
has to be said, this guy probably likes a nice comfy 5 series over a driver's car.... McLaren all day long
Never thought it'd be possible to make both of these cars a yawn fest. Thank you presenter.
Review for 'non car-enthusiasts' only.
McLaren weig less handles better, but no compromise on Lamborghini Huracan hardware.
R8 all day every day

☆FANTASTICOS☆

FaZe Rain probably saw this video
Yeah i was happy to afford a 2009 cobalt...
thats the plus
Did this nigga choose a audi r8 over a mclearen..... I would buy the mclearen, sell it and get a r8 and a bmw m4 if i cared like that
the irony of life, even among rich people there are poor ones. Hence the entry almost super cars for the poor of the rich!

Can you make a show about Ferrari 458 vs bugttai chrion
This guy has the vocabulary and facial expressions of a fifth grader... the exhaust sounds "scary".....
"almost supercars"?!
🤣THAT WASN'T A 570S!🤣
Of course it is.
Mclaren wins trust me I own one there is no comparison for every situation.
That's cool! How reliable has it been so far?
this comparison was stupid it was just this guy's opinion without any test to back it up
And they are called dihedral doors, not scissor doors. Learn your facts before you make a review video
Better interior the R8? Really wrong, its so freaking plain. Good Lord what do you really do for a living? Not this!
Please put this reviewer to some other department. Oh God. So cringey.

while i dislike this shitty video... come on dude, you want to call others stupid when you can't spell "moron"?
Zzzzzzzzzzzz.......better than melatonin
cant deny the performance of the 570s but its the ugliest supercar there is in my op
R8 is ugly as hell
Victor K 570s is even worse
Some don't like the rear of it, but the R8 looks like a Bugatti/AudiTT hybrid it just doesn't look nice, it's not a car that people would stare at the most if it was driving down a street together with the 570s.
Victor K personally i dont even like the front of the 570s. However i do like the r8 but i can see why some might not be fond of it.
