heel fijn!

[TheCarista]

Nice Engine Note!

[SickAudi]

nurburgring... hell ya 12.9 miles long

[awsomeboyalbania]

coolcar

[MrCorvettie]

hmm 4wd hard to drift mayb its pretty good:)

[natogandalf]

@MrCorvettie it's mainly rear wheel drive, only a small amount of power is given to the front wheels. It works well with drifting

[TheSSpeed]

3/5

it's not GR8 Dfift

[Philmen]

How can you say it's not a good drift ? You're taliking about your car's video games in your profile !

[AutospotterJeroenM]

Toch knap met een Quatro-systeem driften!

[Gnepiah]

Hoe kom je op die plek? :)

[Renetjuhgek]

dat is niet moeilijk, als je met de auto langs het rechte stuk rijdt langs de hoofdtribune's (in tegen overgestelde richting als dat ze op het circuit rijden). Dan moet je de eerste links waar de zakspeed garage ligt en dan onder het circuit door rijden en dan zie je een restaurant met muur beschildering van een opel astra dtm, rijd door tot op de splitsing en dan scherp links terug omhoog.

Dan zie je ergens rechts een een weggetje inslaan met een slagboom, daar moet je door lopen.

[Gnepiah]

Thnx voor je antwoord! Kan je daar ook met de auto komen trouwens? Zoniet, waar kan je dan de auto parkeren?

[Renetjuhgek]

hmm, toevallig staat op het korte stukje voor de slagboom nooit een auto dus zetten we m daar zolang.

Maar soms kun je de auto ook op het grasveld tegenover zetten maar dat is meestal als er evenementen zijn.

[maserati199]

Nice Noise

[sush466]

p0RNO :D

[BlaZaitiZ]

video doesn't work "an error occurred, please try again later"

[AudiBryan]

It works here ;)

[benzieproductions]

@AudiBryan worked for me

[Banderius79]

I wonder, where people get such "informations" :)

Some more FACTS about the R8. No further engines are currently planed for the R8.

The only big brand new Audi engine, which is in pre series state is a 4.0 Biturbo V8, with turbos between the cyl. heads (similar to the 4,4 Biturbo of BMW). The V10s (S8, S6, RS6) are running out of production (too heavy for a front engine), they'll be replaced with this V8 bitu. Dont believe journalist, they talk mostly bullshit. :)

[bigmac3108]

You are wrong. As the name sais R8 V10, in this R8 there is a V10 engine, a 5.2l with 530HP.

[Banderius79]

who do you reply with this ? Read all my comments. Thx

[buri2zaemon]

I saw that Audi V10 engine in hong kong motor show on early this year

[Nickel186]

If so, then why do programmes like Top Gear and Fifth Gear come out with those facts, which have come, wait for it, from the manufacturing company, namely Audi theselves, you may work for Audi, but it doesn't mean you know everything about it!

[Banderius79]

yes, I'm a quality engineer at the V8, V10 assembly line, but I don't know, what we build / are going to build.... Come on ! :)

Top Gear, Fifth Gear are entertaining shows ...

So to be short: the R8 has the 4,2 V8 and the 5,2 V10 and NO further engines are planned for it. Period.

[Banderius79]

tnc420 is right, the last 2 comments are bullshit

1.There has never been a biturbo V10 for R8, never planed. The car caught fire because of conrod break, not because of overheating :) 2. The crankshafts are identical I work for Audi, we build both engines (Lambo and R8) on the same line in Hungary, they are totaly identic, except for design (Lambo black intake maifold, Audi silver). The 40 Hp difference is due to the different ECU in the car.

A simple chip flash on the R8 and voila, 560 HP.

[tnc420sucks]

Thank you. I'm happy someone here has a head on their shoulders.

[Testacojones]

Can you answer me this question then, will the R8 clutch six speed manual fit on a Gallardo six speed manual? Just wondering because the Gallardo is over $6,000 parts only including the throw out bearing. This information will be posted in LamboPower if the answer is a positive one. Thanks.

[Banderius79]

the clutch (and the gearbox itself) are identic in Gallardo 560 and the R8 V10.

[Testacojones]

Thanks.

[buri2zaemon]

good info

[SgtH3nry3]

The Lamborghini V10 is shorter effective stroked, but the actual strokes are more or less identical due to the different crankshaft.

[Davidik50]

cool!

he turned esp off

[Hukari]

AH MORE MORE!!!! >:(

[PSmooth81892]

weak ass drift

[Foxx1981]

It´s not even a drift, this was a test-session before the car was launched.

You see: only ricers with their shitty little Camry's drift. What you see in this clip is called a power-slide, something you can´t know too much about.

[pgamings]

haha.

PSmooth you have a go at trying to keep any v10 in line to get a perfect drift.

and like the gentleman above stated.

It is actually a power slide. However he didnt try to stop it as you hear him accelerate.

but still.

[fermentednug]

shitty little camry's drifting?

nice one bonehead, love those underpowered FWD cars for drifting eh, ya fkn idiot.

[TheEdge549]

sounds just like the gallardo

[JaffaSIX]

The mans right, its a 5.2L V10 from the Gallardo LP 560-04, but has i little less power from some reason

[Kibble780]

Its because Audi owns Lamborghini so they've detuned the engine to stop it from rivalling the Lamborghini Gallardo.

Lush car btw

[striketalonx]

It's because its a V10 of Audi's own design, using less extravagant measures, thus a decrease in power. It's not the Gallardo's V10

[stigger91]

that's just....beautiful :')

[bigvolgin]

ok listen asshole!

i worked at audi and i know ( because i saw it many times there) that this is a version of the r8 with the gallardo v10 engine inside! maybe i know 100 times more about these cars than you, i drove them almost every day !

u better learn to read. i said it's a gallardo engine, not a gallardo....dumbass!

[bigvolgin]

maybe it sounds like the gallardo, because it is an gallardo v10 !

[tnc420sucks]

You stupid fuck, read his post again. He never said it was a Gallardo, he said it was a Gallardo V10. As in it's using the same V10 that the Gallardo has.

[sspope]

No, it's not the same engine.

[tnc420sucks]

Hahaha. You're right, it's not the same. The only difference is that it has 27.5 less horsepower and 8.3 less lb/ft of torque than the LP560. Everything else is the same. Displacement, redline, variable valve timing. It's the same fucking engine, only SLIGHTLY detuned. A simple aftermarket upgrade will make it more powerful than a stock LP560.

[sspope]

It was supposed to have an engine from the old Gallardo, the 5.0 litre V10 with twin turbos, but all prototypes caught fire because the turbo system was overheating, because of the mid-placement.

So the Audi came up with an alternative sollution by basically adding 2 more cylinders to the 4.2 litre V8. Even tho they have a lot of technology in common, they're not the same.

[suspendmeassholes]

ze germans have done it again

[mcarino98]

sounds like a dodge neon!

[criticaboutvids]

dont EVER say that again

[geforce5700fx]

Hmmm it's sounds like ... <3 :D

[JumpOrYouLife]

Thats not drifting thats a powerslide

[tnc420sucks]

A powerslide would involve sliding the rear end out using oversteer or the handbrake. When he turned the car sideways and oversteered, he kept it sideways by using the accelerator, which is drifting. Just listen to the sound and look at the smoke, that's drifting.

[Malc180s]

They shouldn't have ever done this, a 480bhp v8 with 100kgs shaved is where the money should've been spent. Idiots.

[GallardoLP560dash4]

Damn! Sounds like a Gallardo!

Official Audi AG Press Release

- The new 5.2-liter, ten-cylinder engine puts out 525 hp

- Sprint to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, top speed 316 km/h

- High-performance sports car with striking design

INGOLSTADT, Germany, Dec 8, 2008 - Audi is launching the next variant of its top-of-the-line model. With the R8, the brand has established itself at the forefront of high-end sports cars from the very start - and now comes the R8 V10. Its 5.2-liter, ten-cylinder engine

[bigmac3108]

ok..that's right.

but what i wanted to say was just, that i haven't thoutht that they are going to built the new r8 v10 with a engine that has more than 600hp, because all the audi engines from the street cars and also the lamborghini gallardo(s) have a v10 engine with max. 580 hp (from the rs6).

[bigmac3108]

yes..but if you expect more than 600bhp, then it's not a v10 but a v12.

nearly no v10 has more than 560bhp, expect the audi RS6.

and I think, in 3.9 sek from 0-100km/h, thats not bad. especially for audi, because they dindn't have a real sports car until the 4.2 R8

[KARASAWA40]

600 hp from a V-10 is easy. A V-8 could reach that too. Dodge Viper and Porsche Carrera GT both make 600 with V-10's natually aspirated. There are modded BMW V-10's pushing 600, I think Ascari uses one, can't remember if it's a turbo.

[bigmac3108]

yes...but now, FINALLY, the built the audi r8 with a v10 5.2 engine. it has 525HP and 570NM

[sspope]

It's not much, really. I was expecting more than 600 bhp from 5.2L

[SHOOTTHEJUNKIES]

yes but with no turboz sorry

[dominic969]

i thought that the R8 only came with a 4.2L V8

[MosPos]

There's a new 1 coming with a V10, I thought it would be a TDI?

This R8 sounds so much better then the V8, this 1 sounds like a Gallardo!

[MorpheusDriftKing]

you're right, there's word going around about it being a V12tdi, like the concept one they built. The V10 idea was dropped, also, this car later caught fire on on the 'ring.

[Lasse3333]

There is the Normel R8 with V8, then there is hopefully comming a V12 TDI like to prototype, and the will build a V10....

[SAOSIN3120]

haha anybody else hear the turbos at the end?

i agree with lucarioguy111, twin turboed v10 from the RS6 just with new exhaust so it sounds meaner kinda like the gallardo.

[DzieciakStareMiasto]

nice nice nice mannnnn ;]

[sakimano]

haha...'lamborghini will never allow them???'

AUDI OWNS LAMBORGHINI. Lamborghini sells less cars on earth than Audi sells in Kazhakhstan...I'm pretty sure Audi will call the engineering shots.

Anyway, the R8 with the V10 is already on order. Nice try.

[angy878787]

Che Auto!!!

[Davidik50]

Beauty on the wheels! Audi rules!

[apexmen]

V8 ????

[Davidik50]

yes

[nnr3]

no, it's v10

[gallardofan]

on which part of the nordschleife this video is taken?

[battagliero79]

V10?? Are you sure?? I don't think....!!!

[battagliero79]

Sorry, now i am!!

[D3ffe]

Yes it is, it is the new "R8" for 2009 or should I call it R10?

[sakimano]

you should call it R8. That's what Audi calls it

[D3ffe]

I heard rumors about the name, RS8...it would be a better name than R8

[gabbby69]

Insane handling !!!!!!!!

[Hongerstaking]

Vet !!!
