@TheSmokingTire you are one of those dudes i love man.
@Sazabi3OOO I guess it answers how good the car is …
I love the comments from all the folks who have never driven any of the cars the’ve commented on, classic.
you cant fit crutches in a gallardo lol
I think a porsche 911 GT3 is more of a supercar. The R8 is great on the road and all that but it doesn’t really do what supercars do; it’s just not ‘fun’. The R8 is really just a GT car with its engine in the middle. The AWD and heavy electronic involvement ruins personal driver experience. I’m sure the R8 is great on the road but a GT3 would be a lot more fun on the track just because it more of an exciting car to drive. As good as the R8 may actually be, its not a true supercar.
What’s the problem with a 911? The 911 has always been the famous sportscar for many decades. The R8 is not a bargain. It is way overpriced and underpowered. Its just not worth all that money. I realize it looks cool and handles well but still, you can’t go wrong with a GT3, GT3 RS, Turbo, or Turbo S. The 911 is more of a true sportscar. And if a person doesn’t know what they’re doing at the limit of a hardcore 911, then they shouldn’t be driving it; the same goes for the R8.
@buttnut1080 I completely disagree with that statement. The R8 is a bargain at those prices. It may be a tenth or two slower than the similarly-priced 911’s, but the R8 more than makes up for it with styling and the beautiful balance that comes from driving a Mid-engined car. No Porsche I’ve ever driven (GT3 and Turbo included) has ever felt as easy to drive very hard as an R8, and in fact, 911’s at the limit can be downright scary if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Why shouldn’t I be a hater? I don’t like the R8, do you have a problem with that? Why would you say it would get me more pussy? You’re so immature. And actually, the turbo hits 60 faster than both the V8 and V10 R8’s. You obviously don’t know cars so don’t waste my time.
@H8ISGR8 rite on man
@buttnut1080 dont be a hater dude you and i both know the audi is years ahead in looks and it will get you more pussy faster then 911 turbo goes 0 to 60;)
What song was used in this video? Like at 4:22-4:37. Its got a real good beat
Great review even though I don’t entirely agree with the comparison to the Gallardo. I’ve only driven the V8 manual but I can imagine what’s it like with an extra 100hp. The R8 much more German then the Gallardo is more precise and balanced the quattro is more liberal so you can pull spectacular slides. And keeping in mind all the equipment on the Lambo came from the A8. The R8 is a good well balanced drivers car puts me in mind of the NSX-R. Everything about is precision.
How the fuck is it too serious?? what does that mean??
Not me.
Having worked for both Audi and Porsche, while I love both cars. I’d still rather have the R8.
That is exactly my point. This r8 is not worth 150k, nor is the v8 r8 worth 130k. I think Porsche pretty much rules the world of supercars between 70 and 200 grand.
the good news is, if you prefer the GT3, it’s about 45k cheaper than the R8.
This car sucks. I hate it. Way overpriced and too serious. I would much rather have a porsche 911 GT3 or 911 Turbo S.
id drive this as my daily driver :p
esta bien chingon el r8 sssssss pasado de verga
Garage 420 would be a mega huge hit… Pun intended.
Its a V10 bro, I gotta drive through the pain.
Can’t take more of this crap! XD!
those 2 jerks arent giving the car the respect and credit its due…
haha, jonny is one of the road testers for autoblog, and he is a fantastic driver, he’s one of the guys I look up to.
150k? i better start saving lol
