  • The R8 V10 Plus is a special Audi that shows off the craftsmanship of Quattro GmbH. Leo Parente tours the special assembly shop where the R8 comes together. While the shop is high-tech, there is still a hand-built element to the construction of the R8.

    Don't worry, it'll be 1080p soon. Just give it some time to process.

    The R8 is by far one of the sexiest super cars ever made.

    I had an R8 4.2 Stronic for testing and filming last year. The car felt truely special. Options for 40.000 € like the full carbon fiber package, alcantara and leather interior show you the true quality of Quattro. Hand-built in germany...I often drive past this factory. Nice to have a look inside :)

    Great job bringing that production and assembly process of the R8 to us Leo. Thank you sir. I used to work for HMA (Honda Manf. of Alabama) and just seeing how much more meticulous they are at Audi (to be expected I guess when buying a $190K car) compared to the full fabrication, production and assembly lines at Honda is very interesting. Even though the tolerances at Honda were low (4.00mm - 4.25mm for most panel gaps) it's just great to showcase how involved each person is at his/her station with overseeing and taking seriously the quality aspect of their jobs. I work for Kia/Hyundai now and...ummm...yeah...just..get an Audi.

    I loved the R8 since the first day it came out, and I still do. The one and only interesting (new) Audi for me.

    Holy shit that Matte Blue R8 near the end, what a colour.

    • @natdebery3769
      @natdebery3769 10 років тому

      I saw a matte blue R8 V10 Plus at the New England International Auto Show this past Sunday. In my opinion, it may have been the best looking car there. We were allowed to touch (not sit inside, sadly), and I have to say that the matte finish paint is really something to behold. That car is a monument to engineering in my book.

    • @tyerestes7554
      @tyerestes7554 10 років тому +1

      Sort of reminds me of how they make the Veyron. The way the chassis is split up into three parts. Even the jig and the finished product without body work reminds me of one. Pretty cool.

    • @typhoon5000
      @typhoon5000 10 років тому +2

      Tyer Estes Well they are both part of the VW group, so it doesn't surprise me that that use similar manufacturing techniques.

    • @noidentity458
      @noidentity458 10 років тому +2

      Tyer Estes Well, they're both owned by VW, so the manufacturing processes are probably very similar for their performance cars. Lamborghini's are probably done similar to the R8.

  • @s2korpionic
    @s2korpionic 10 років тому +1

    Anyway, I think the Audi R8 is one of the most understated supercar to ever grace the earth.

    Great job leo....The commentary is fitting to the process of the build. I also love the way you let the engineer from Audi explain the process. One question though. After watching so many "How is it built" super car epidodes how does the Quattro GMBH differ from other manufacturers?

    Lovely car. Would just be happy with a regular V8 or V10 R8 as you can get that awesome manual gearbox.

    • @roflcopter645
      @roflcopter645 10 років тому

      I wish Audi would build an E-Tron Hybrid Twin-Turbo V10 R8 with a Manual Gearbox. That would be AWESOME!

    • @647killa
      @647killa 10 років тому

      Anything with a combustion engine and a manual gearbox would be an ideal vehicle for a person like me, who prefers analogue cars over technological marvels. I still dream of owning a Bugatti EB110, which was considered a technological marvel, and that is all the technology I ever need in any of my cars.

    • @roflcopter645
      @roflcopter645 10 років тому

      647killa The only problem with the Eb110 was the sound. You need to modify the exhaust system to make it sound good. Apparently a muffler removal does the trick (Apparently...).

    • @647killa
      @647killa 10 років тому

      I would straight pipe a turbo car anyways with a nice exhaust brand. First, the dream must be accomplished though lol.

    That guy towards the end was getting a little bit too frisky with that R8... Who could blame him though? I already enjoy this way more than inside Bentley. (I know that's not saying much). Good choice picking this one.

    Guys as much as i love /drive, i feel like this could have been done better...
    The music was anti-relaxing, and i would have liked leo to talk more about specific parts. He's in the factory for crying out loud ! He should be bouncing like a child and be curious about all those incredible parts!
    If you've subscribed to drive, chances are you're a petrolhead... We already know all the general facts (for example the link between the build and the racing driver, the light tunnel... Which are not specific to quattro!!)
    What really makes quattro? I'd still like tout know.
    But still, looking forward to the rest of the week.
    Cheers guys!
