this is a 2017 Aldi r8 v10 plus ten
years ago when the r8 first came out
there was such a v8 engine there was no
B 10 and there was no Plus and the
original RA it had a base price of only
a hundred and ten thousand dollars right
now this one is available for sale and
it's sticker price is almost double that
just a little over two hundred thousand
dollars so today I'm going to show you
why the r8 has gotten so expensive I'll
start with the most obvious thing the
engine now the original r8 v8 back in
2008 had only 420 horsepower which isn't
really all that much by modern standards
this thing has a 5.2 liter v10 with 610
horsepower which is massive and trust me
that isn't even close to the only
difference to find out all the other
reasons why the r8 have gotten so
expensive I'm going to show you around
this thing I'm gonna give you a tour and
show you all of its cool quartz and
weird features then I'm going to get it
out on the road and drive it and finally
I'm going to give it a dug score
I should mention I've borrowed this
alright from Audi bridgewater here in
New Jersey and they have two brand new
Ras currently in stock they also have a
bunch of the newly redesigned sq5 now
consider today a huge success if I can
walk out of here without impulsively
buying one now on to the quirks
I'll start on the outside with the RH
door handles now I tell you to be old
alright because it hadn't yet succumb to
the industry trend of putting weird door
handles on exotic cars well the new RA
it has kind of a weird door handle
you'll notice you don't see it when you
first look at the car it's just flush
and beautiful instead you have to kind
of reach your hand around underneath
until you find the door handle and loop
your fingers and then you can open the
door it's not that weird but it's not
exactly normal either
the coolest exterior cork in this car
may be the coolest cork in the entire
car is these turn signals take a look at
these things the top part is cool enough
just based on its design but the bottom
bit is what's really needed so it lights
up in the direction that you're going to
let other drivers know exactly where
you're turning this is the coolest turn
signal in the car industry right now
what are your interesting exterior
chords in this car is the trunk now just
like in the original alright the trunk
panel is massive so you open this new
you think it's going to be this huge
trunk but then it just isn't really it's
not all that big just like in the
original alright unlike in the original
area however this one has nets in the
cargo area so it looks like kind of
little cargo tennis court going on here
moving on to the interior my favorite
thing you notice the second you get
inside a car is this floating array of
climate control this is so cool they
look really futuristic and most
importantly they feel amazing they're
not jiggly at all like you expect
considering they just kind of dangle
there it's really good design and it's
really well built another thing about
these climate door bugs they're not just
attracted they are tremendously
intuitive if you work for a car company
as an engineer in the climate control
buttons Department take notes on the
left air conditioning speed turn it up
for more turn it down for less that's
easy in the middle temperature up for
more down for less and the button on the
right directs where the air goes as you
move it you change where the air comes
out and there's a little diagram there
that shows where the air comes out each
time you move it it is brilliant on the
bottom if you want to defrost off or the
rear defroster you press those buttons
it's an entire climate control system
summarized in three buttons and three
switches so how come in every other car
is there so much stuff they should all
be just like this next up let's talk
about the steering wheel now every
sonic cars kind of get more and more
stuff on the steering wheel so you don't
have to take your hands off the wheel
and this one is no exception but this
car has some especially interesting
things on its steering wheel on the
right you have the bright red engine
start/stop button that is to be expected
let's expect it is right below it that's
the exhaust button you want more exhaust
just push it and even looks like a
little exhaust on the other side there's
a button with a checkered flag on and
that button initiates launch control and
above that you have the drive select
button where you can choose between all
the cars drive modes of course there's
also a usual smattering of cruise
control and infotainment and radio
volume buttons and then at the top there
are the paddle these days exotic car
soon we also getting more and more
complicated and the Ras is no exception
another interesting feature this car
located right here behind the driver
seat is the hood release button now
might not sound all that interesting but
check this out you buy a new car you
probably not to get under the hood all
that often it's all in a warranty the
dealer does all that stuff for you but
push the hood release button in this car
look at that it automatically pops right
up it does not have to do that out II
could have just made an annoying latch
that you have to find like every other
car but pops up automatically that is
really good attention to detail on
excellent quality but outings attention
to detail isn't always perfect example
that in this car is a cupholders a
couple of your situation this car
something I've never seen before they're
under a lid and the lid isn't something
you can just pull off it's actually
hinged which means the largest cup you
can get in back is only this tall is the
lid will actually open so you know time
is you stick your cups in there and then
the lift the lid is up and you can't
actually use the armrest as an hour rest
when you're driving along so you have to
choose cup holder or armrest it's a very
weird design behind those unusual
cupholders if one another one of the are
eight strange features now I already
probably understood that their front
trunk isn't as big as some rivals so
they added a little storage solution
inside the cabin what it is is a cloth
separator between the seats and the back
of the car where you could put stuff
behind the weird thing about this
particular separator is that it has
little zippered pockets for stuff you
don't want to move around it's actually
a pretty good solution although an
unusual one and an exotic sports car but
back to outies excellent attention to
detail when the car is in park
red pea appears right here next to the
gear selector but the second you move
the car out of park the pea disappears
the whole gear just is gone so you never
have to think about the travesty of
parking your r8 it's my small and most
people would notice but I personally
think it's kind of cool when you want to
park the car again you press the P
button on the gear so I turn the P pops
right back up but the coolest part of
this interior is by far as a gauge
cluster which is undoubtedly the most
advanced gauge cluster in the car
industry right now now I know it's used
in a lot of modern outies but in case
you haven't seen it don't want me to
walk you through some of the coolest
things about it let's start with the
fact that it's just a giant screen no
gauges and completely configurable you
want your tachometer to take up most of
it that's fine you want your phone
contacts and call info that's fine too
but check out the coolest part this
giant 3d map literally shows you where
you are and it's oriented in the
direction you're pointing look up that's
where you are look down that's where you
are - you can also adjust that centre
display screen down here with these
buttons in the center console maybe the
coolest part is of the taping feature
one tell a navigation system to take you
somewhere you don't need to mess with
scrolling through a keyboard or trying
to get it to recognize your voice just
use this thing down here to type what
you want it's amazingly easy this a
feature only a few navigation systems
have right now but they will all have it
soon even the leading is intuitive just
swipe your hand back and it deletes the
last character you typed between that in
the display located right below your
line of sight it's proud of the first
navigation system that's easier to use
than just plugging the destination into
your phone so the r8 has a surprising
amount of cool features and weird quirks
and now it's time to get it out on the
road and drive it for more of my r8
experience click the link below to go to
autotrader.com slash oversteer where
I've got a column with more of my
thoughts on the r8 and I've got a list
of the cheapest v10 powered cars
currently listed for sale on auto trader
[Music]
closer is just the coolest thing all the
new Audi's have this so this isn't that
amazing for just the r8 but if you
haven't seen this yet this is the this
is so cool I'm looking at the road we're
travelling in the direction we're
traveling in this is going to be what a
six-inch screeners like that and it's
completely color and there's you know my
speedo and my tack are still there
it's not even distracting really it's
more distracting when you're down here
fiddling with this stuff this is so cool
really really fast shifts in this car as
fast as I mean it's not possible to get
that to this I love the sound I just
throw the v8 r8 which I love because
it's such a pure car and it's not that
powerful and on but it doesn't have it's
not as great this thing is a monster
this car is also so far more technically
advanced in the first generation all
right that it's crazy you can just tell
instantly more futuristic with these
little air conditioning controls in the
center and the gauge cluster everything
just seems like it's on the next level
it doesn't the same feeling of coolness
that the r8 first had when it came out
back in oh wait was like oh my god what
is that that's an Audi
now everybody kind of familiarize
themselves in the design but sitting
inside it I feel even cooler than that
with this cockpit thing it's
unbelievable how cool it
all right back now yes okay let's drive
this thing Wow oh my god oh my god
well that's that's pretty quick oh it's
so flat around the corner goal the
steering it's so much more precise it's
so precise
I don't think it's quite as precise as
Huracan laser or not I think that the
Huracan is just a little bit more has
better turn it but still this thing is
unreal
it's amazing the corners dead flat this
is one of the best this is absolutely
one of this Huracan when you turn the
wheel like no car I've ever driven it's
just it's like those spaceships and into
the Independence Day movie like you turn
in this car is damn close obviously I
mean this is up there with all the beste
4,800 like that
I just exert just the slightest little
bit off Huracan was just so incredible
in that respect
okay let's give it a shot
oh my god Wow that is wild what is this
car that is crazy that is crazy crazy
speed Wow
that was some of the sharpest explosion
well not after but I cheated and looked
up the stairs or 260 before I came here
and I know this car is actually one of
the quickest cars ever sold this car
deserves fifteen twenty two point nine
two point eight seconds which is up
there with I mean that's quicker than
forty eight partially if I presume
because it doesn't all wheel drive start
there's no roller coaster I've ever been
on that felt like that there's no I've
the feeling you get initially when you
first do that and when dislike feeling
of speed washes over you I don't know
that like my body has ever gone not wow
that was massively bad I mean I'm
spoiled because I'm doing all these cars
and that's true at all of them but just
FYI this one is on that level it's just
like the forty eight and all that stuff
which you know ten years ago in the art
came out you didn't say it about it you
said all day the 911 turbo competitor
now this car is squarely a Ferrari
forty-eight Huracan competitor on that
level
[Music]
and so that's the 2017 outie r8 v10 plus
no at $200,000 it is it as affordable as
the original model but then something
like 50% more horsepower than the
original r8 and it now does 0 to 60 in
like three seconds or less or that crazy
launch control it's like a little sports
car that grew up and went through school
and has emerged a full-fledged exotic
supercar and now time to give it a dug
score starting with the weekend
categories and styling me alright v10
plus is an attractive car certainly in
the upper echelon but not one of the
all-time grades it gets an 8 out of 10
in terms of acceleration the r8 v10 plus
does 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and it's
probably the fastest car I've ever
driven it gets in earns a 10 out of 10
handling it's great excellent sharp
nearly at the very top but not quite
there it gets an 8 out of 10 cool factor
is strong but the r8 has become familiar
and nobody except the biggest car geeks
know you got the v10 plus version it
gives a 7 out of 10
finally importance which measures the
cars significance it's more important
than an average car but these are
certainly more mass-produced than most
exotics it gives us 7 out of 10 bringing
its total weekend score to an impressive
40 out of 50 not the very top but not
far behind next up are the daily
categories starting with features where
the r8 is truly innovative
I love the climate controls but I really
love the Audi virtual cockpit which
gives Tesla a run for its money it gets
a hard to achieve 9 out of 10 the best
car in this class luxury measures
comfort to me alright is reasonably
comfortable but it's still an exotic
sports car it feels like it it's even a
bit rougher than its predecessor it gets
a 5 out of 10
quality measures materials and
reliability reliability is too early to
tell but howdy has been improving
recently materials are excellent in
nearly every area and it earns an 8 out
of 10 practicality is hindered by the
small trunk the RH 8 cubic feet would
normally give it a 3 but poor fuel
economy and only two seats not that
number down to a 2 out of 10 finally
there's value the r8 is really expensive
at over $200,000 but think of it this
way it's far cheaper than a Huracan and
almost laughably cheaper than a 488 it
accelerates faster than
both those cars and it has better tech
and it handles nearly as well that would
give it a great score but let's not
forget it still is over $200,000 and
that brings it down to a seven out of
ten giving it a total daily score of 31
out of 50 add those scores together and
you'll get a total Doug score of 71 that
makes the r8 v10 plus the new Doug score
champion and it deserves it comfortable
and daily drivable with amazing
technology but also supercar performance
it's an awesome vehicle
