R8 RWS - Audi's First RWD Sports Car: it's Amazing!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2018
- Audi Sport's first ever REAR Wheel car! 1 of Only 999 in the world, it follows the Original Audi R8, which was the best kind of motoring product, the disruptive kind.
Debuted by non-other than Avenger Tony Stark, out of nowhere, Audi showed the world a Sports car could be as desirable and exciting as a Supercar, and look arguably better than the bulls and horses! But now Audi have done something disruptive again, but to their own Quattro history: They’ve built a rear wheel drive sports car. And spoiler: it’s rather good!
In this review we explore whether the removal of the Quattro system has a detrimental effect to the car, will the slightly weaker engine reduce the fun, and much more:
- R8 history
- Removal of the 4WD/ All Wheel Drive system
- New Handling Characteristics
- The V10 Engine
- Performance Driving
- Comfort Driving
- Design

Wow, a RWD Audi Sport car! And so soooo good! Do you think Audi should make more of the RWS type, or go to switchable AWD like AMG?
Love to know your thoughts! 👍🏼
Greaaat review, the AMG/M5 way would be the perfect compromise. Guess this will come on more brands and models in the future.
Remove Before Race this is unique shifting from awd to rwd is insignificant in lowering weight and making it driver focused
You should get one!!
you prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf these days =)
Very deep insight at 8:22, these are the high tide days for the super car, especially the gas only kind (paraphrasing here.). Great commentary. I had to stop the video in the middle after that to give this the thumbs up. Ok, back to this amazing car and video.
Matthew Sanger Too kind buddy, but glad I struck a chord. People will get a rude awakening in the coming years
I like the way you explicate your videos, you makes it convenient for us to understand these cars
Can’t go wrong with an Audi R8 but this RWS is what it always should have been. Great stuff.
Amit Such a Great car to drive!!
Great camera shots!
Νice complete review! Btw what watch are you wearing?
What a great review. I find your presentation on par with Carfection. So how intrusive is traction control in the corners, or is there a magical "off" button ? Cheers.🇨🇦
Nice video roken
Perfect review!!
And I like the nice balance with your face and the actual car driving
Very nicely done bro!!
Hamza Quraishi Thank you my friend! Always looking to improve
The STARK choice
The difference is quite STARK hehehe
Tobias Henreich hahahahaha Well played!
Prefer this generation R8 above the latest, OPF filtered version. An integral part of any super car is the sound, it just needs to scream in the upper RPM range, and make pops and bangs when letting of.... Another epic review, the historical background info you put into making these videos is unparalleled on YTand truly appreciated by us petrol heads. Keep it going brother
This or an AMG GTs? Great review as always. Audi have done a great job with the price point. It appears that on this occasion less is more, but for us mere mortals Quattro still makes more sense (yeah like I could afford one, but would love to drive one)
Dave Tomley Ooooh i may take this you know. But spec’s better
Can you tell me where you are driving at? Seems like a perfect place to drive.
woah! your content, both the script, as well as the production, is getting better and better!
its a shame high budget shows like TopGear is getting so boring now...
God bless you!
Epic as ever .. ..!!
Motech Performance THANKS GUYS!
Pretty dank. Probs gonna rocket up in value
Jsun Barry I’d bet it will!
I found a few for 130-150 k
Great too see more varied car content
Please do More videos like this one.!
Nafeh Khan DB11 next!! And soon M5 😈
I am wondering which would you choose as a daily driving car, Ferrari FF or Audi R8 V10 Plus
You live nearby, I saw your cars a few times now ...
How would it be a sleeper just because it's rwd?
awesome..
Leather steering wheel > alcantara steering wheel. Alcantara becomes a rag after few sweaty trips.
Hi I noticed that that the exhaust button and track button on the steering wheel in r8 plus were missing in RWS, does this mean RWS doesn’t have the same exhaust system as plus, neither the track mode?
Andrew Qiu both of them do. The performance steering is optional on the R8 RWS
You still get the sport exhaust, just have to kick the gear stick down once
@@Zhequirinal Dude that was some 4 years
@@andrewqiu3897 yep, and pretty much unanswered:)
Not my fault if I just got one of these R8 only now
@@Zhequirinal Congrats. Me not so lucky as business ruined by Covid so I stop looking at these cars anymore
Great review as always - slightly unrelated : not sure how many American fans follow Raz, but for those of us who were pro basketball fans back in the 90s, the opening music you use (John Tesh composed it) - was used for the opening for the NBA on NBC - so always brings a smile to my face. :)
please, make a review of RS3
I've always liked the r8 better between the v10 sibblings
Amazing 😍
Amazing car but AWD R8 Plus is even better.
What colour is that ?
It’s Nogaro Blue
AMG GTC or V10 in either AWD or RWS ?
AMG GT
8:12 😂😂😂
Hamza Quraishi 😂😂😂
nice words
whats the deal with the crackling sound of exaust? why do people go ga ga over it? i find it non efficient sounding.
freddieman c
Sounds amazing
Are you crazy?!!!
freddieman c It’s not someone one can explain with words
freddieman c kind of like an orgasm
it sounds meh
it's totally annoying. I wonder if it can be deactivated
First? 😄 R8 is originally a rwd, it was built for gt racing which is always rwd. How ignorant can someone be 🤦♂️
It was about the time
I prefer Quattro .
Audi alredy have competitor for GT3 rs or AMG GTr and it's Audi R8 performance parts.
To all who asked
Tt is fwd or awd
FUCK RWD!!! AWD is where's it's at. That's a downgrade, I hope Audi never does this again.
Best channel on UA-cam, but I'll take Mercedes-AMG GT anyday or whatever competes with the Audi R8. MERCEDES-BENZ runs in my blood since my birth. The Best Or Nothing!
MB hasn't been the best for decades lmao
