Audi R8 V10 drift [Drivers Republic]

[alexzukini]

so sick how when he downshifts it automatically revs the engine like an f1 car or something... I want to have sex with this car

[jakopskubalewski]

polacy łapka w góre

:D

[Lymos524254]

drifting in this car is like eating spaghetti with a knife. it's not for drifting, it has a good grip so it must handle corners very smooth not slide into them.. :)

[MrBigolnuts]

fucking awesome car

[falcon96kickass]

In Australia we would get shot for driving like that on the roads and also get the car impounded under hoon laws for making excessive engine noise hahah

[flyboy385]

is it just me, or do the audi r8 v10, bmw m6, and the lamborghini lp 570-4 all sound really similar?

[Ktmzqw]

@flyboy385 Not a coincidence, all have V10 engines. Add to that the fact that the V10 in the R8 is the same V10 from the Gallardo. Just a little side note: the best sounding V10s are from the Carrera GT and the Lexus ISF

[VanTheManSLB]

@Ktmzqw The ISF has a V8... probably you wanted to say LFA ;)

[Ktmzqw]

@VanTheManSLB Sim, o LFA. Enganei-me!

[VanTheManSLB]

@Ktmzqw Nem vi que eras Português... Certo!

[Ktmzqw]

@VanTheManSLB Estamos em todo o lado! Abraço ;)

[anotherraybanfan]

0:39-48 simply a perfect turn.

[Biffi1992]

i love the clicking gear changer

[cortkatanakx1q]

Nice onboard video.

[willnesssgt]

if its an awd wouldn't be a power slide?

[Dipsta100]

@willnesssgt most of the power is sent to the back wheels

[illchillkyle]

I would more-so consider that over-steer than drift...

[jonmogo1]

Wouldn't mind living in the mountains with this beaut



[applemac34]

when v12 lauches that will be one of the best days in history. PERIOD.

[ChRiS00107]

manual is the best!!

[geeksquad2]

Es gibt kein besseres Auto als der Audi R8 V10

[3CCosta]

that's not drifting that's power-sliding but still hes a great driver.

[EazyEGee1]

Нифегасибе!

Вот это, КРУТАЯ машина

[art91d]

1:13 speed limit: 40 km/h... : D

[radulica]

@art91d haha i noticed that too ! XD

[TheMegaCONARTIST]

Audi R8 Best sports car ever.

[JimmyChannel1]

i wanna drive like him, powersliding so fast, long and beautifully. i wanna have the audi r8 v10 cus its my dreamcar. also i would like to go driving in those mountain roads getting the tail oversteer from it in those tight bends but unfortunately, im too young to drive and i cant afford one :(

[ER6stuntordie]

@JimmyChannel1

that's life

[Drifter9502]

ugly color ever!

[cartsada]

man that sounds  fantastic.

[mihayustaudi]

i think he is in spain !

[g7dude9]

I like how it's raining in the last part.  Of course, that's when they're easier to drift.

[brandenisno1]

i didn't know an Audi R8 could drift like that. doesn't it have more weight in the back?

[Pendemic]

@brandenisno1

It sends the power to the wheels in a 60/40 config. More power to the rear wheels.

[jccashmoney]

very smooth and easy

[jasonleungis]

what a sweeet video!

[UnrealandRIPPER]

good driver^^

[ajmchief]

@UnrealandRIPPER good car too that lets the driver do so well

[gamezandmore]

@ajmchief no.... a good driver can drive good in any car.

[ajmchief]

@gamezandmore ok it's all relative to the capability of the car. Throw Michael Schumaker in a Model T... It is not going to go around that corner like that.

[therareone1]

this is my dream car =)

[novado123]

i hate the rims,, the rims of the v8 are much better

[ClassicDragRace]

same here...

[99AudiMan09]

i have one just like this R8!!!

in my dreams since thats the closest im getting to one haha. Love em though

[jpck222]

.....and now could you do a three point turn....

[Kheops63]

10 years ago, there was a contest on the Hockenheim ring, with a drift demo, and a man managed to take the hole curve sideways in an Integra Type R, which is FWD, without braking, simply with enough speed, then steer and countersteer. Maybe you don't call this Drift but it's the same for me!

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

I have an Integra TypeR, on a constant radius turn its natural over steer balance at a constant speed is very evident. It's quite unlike almost any other FWD car. Also the LSD helps as the inside wheel spins slightly faster than road speed the outer wheel has grip and delivers power to the road. It's like having the outer wheel front powering you forward more than the inner front one, pushing the nose in. Awesome.

It's a shame most manufacturers set their cars up to under steer on the limit.

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

Also to clarify the term "drifting" for the ignorant people commenting here:

It's derived from the term "4-wheel drift" meaning that all four wheels are sliding and the car is balanced, neither under or oversteering. It doesn't matter how you get into this state, whether thru weight transfer, braking, applying power to the rear or all wheels. If all four wheels are sliding equally, it's a "drift". You can drift a fwd Diesel van.

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

Enzo Ferrari uses the term 4 wheel drift in the 1930's!!

"In this way he put the car into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels" Enzo Ferrari circa 1930's

Drifing isnt "oversteer" like wiki says.

Drifting isn't the preserve of awd or rwd cars.

Drfiting is not Japanese.

The term has been high jacked and has now been twisted into meaning something quite different to most people. Oh well!

[spinesnapper]

Nice history lesson. That the think about language. It's always evolving. The meanings of words change so that the miss use becomes the use.

[Kheops63]

It's an awesome car, and there are not many things you can do to improve it! I really enjoyed it in the past. Manufacturers set cars like this because customers want their car to act like this, if you want a sport car, with a neutral balance, you have to very well choose your car, whether it is a FWD, RWD or AWD

[derbigpr500]

Its because under steer is safer than oversteer for most of the drivers. Its easier to control.

[desimunda116]

any chance of a Civic Si being able to do that.

[Kheops63]

With overinflated rear tyres and enough speed....and big balls.....

[jjb996]

@desimunda116 yeah my mum did it the other day in hers :L

[Screwschom]

Nice to see someone who drives an R8 like I would !

[0yasweet]

my R8 is the best out of all my cars i drive it where ever i go and i dont let any1 touch it i even hand wash almost every day to keep it nice and shiny

[mexmiler]

Yeah right, you drive a minivan

[mountjoy23]

Can you hand wash cars on forza 3 then !!

[GAMBITRACER]

your father bought you this car ???

[Kheops63]

You can drift with AWD, 4WD, RWD and if you're good enough, even with a FWD, it is a matter of skills, that's all!

[littletrigger]

Oversteer and drifting are different things, You cannot drift a front wheel drive car unless you are on ice. The idea is that the power through the rear wheels push the rear of the car to the point where it wants to overtake the front and spin. However you catch it with opposite lock and modulate the power so it sits half way. Front wheel drive cars cannot do this as they send power to the front of the car. If a front wheel drive car oversteers, its usually under braking, its not drifting.

[jlgroovetek]

lovely vid; makes you feel like you're in the car through those curves.

[compdude47]

If it's RHD, why is he driving on the right side of the road? Maybe it's a closed course.

[radioxxflyer]

fabulous! into the favourites it goes!

[nickbullit]

4wd ? haha dont looks like it .... you cant drift like that with 4wd

[W33Dblazer]

its Quattro...

thats 4wd for you...

get ur facts straight

[JamrockBoi90]

It's not 4wd, it's AWD. Totally different. The reason the R8 can drift is no more than 15% of torque goes to the front wheels.

[sleeevy]

actually it sends no more than 30% of the torque up front, I recall it being 15% at minimum. But amazing vehicle! I'm on my fourth Audi and my dealership has an R8 V10 that sits near the showroom in the delivery area. Stunning and the engine sound truly is intoxicating! Its a car that really displays Audi's heritage and engineering.

[DTMharlot]

Quattro is AWD... 4WD has gear reduction.. low, high, get it? doesn't really matter really.. but if you wanna be politically correct, awd.

Vorsprung durch technik!

[sporck88]

you cant "drift" a FWD, you can slide it.

[DTMharlot]

nah... the r8 can DRIFT. This thing is just absolutely nasty with traction control off. The cool thing about the quattro in this car is that it can send almost all of the torque to the rear.

[sporck88]

hehe, agreed! i was actually replying to

"Kheops63" who said you can drift a FWD!

[DTMharlot]

ah, you're right then. all you can do with FWD is slide... lame.

[99AudiMan09]

it never sends more than 1/3 of the power to the front wheels :-)

[99AudiMan09]

Good point. u cant maintain a powerslide since there is no power going to the wheels that need to be spinning.

[Dominguero36]

Muppet. Look up some info before you comment stupid remarks like this.

[maserati199]

Good Lord, That's some good driving! And just remember, It's 4WD!

[r1swedie]

Drowe an Audi R8 V10 two weeks ago. The only issue I really had with it was the gearbox. Not very smooth with the automatic gearbox. When attacking a corner and shifting up it jerks pretty bad (slow shift) and the chassi gets upset. I believe a manual would be better for "hard" driving as it's more predictable doing the shifts on your own manually.

[TheSuperMAn1989]

remember that the R8 requires the driver to shift the gears in both semi automatic model and manual model, the semi automatic requires gear shift from either the gear stick or the paddles from the steering wheel, if the shift wasn't smooth then probably you didnt press the button at the correct moment, it happened to me as well until i learned how to shift properly

[Waitingtoolong]

This is such an incredible car. i wish i could get my hands behind the wheel!

[HD2009Muscle]

I've just got an Audi R8 v10, I sold two of the kids and a kidney, but it was worth it.

[Ynnekdude]

lol

[dxhs2000]

Jethro Bovingdon, the man can drive

[Derteufell666]

machine

[3yar1983]

gotta admit . . this is a good driver for sure

[MrTeve09]

I absolutely love this car. I think the driver did a far better job on the track then he did on the road to be honest.

[TheKingofFightNight]

I aggree. But I think he didn't want to crash it into the side of the gaurd rail or the hill.

[MrTeve09]

That's true. I'd hate to drive a car like that off the side of a cliff that's for sure!

[sspope]

This is probably the best sports car at the moment. Much better than 911 Turbo or Nissan GT-R

[TheWetherill]

Some serious skills

[Tomaszeks]

Is V12 TDI version of R8 out yet?

[verydangerousretard]

thats model is canceled

[nitish21]

that was too sick

[GerryK61]

Sweet But they should have called it the

R10.

[hassan0098]

So this a new version of R8 with bigger engine!

But away m.r smart wear your helmet!

[porschecn]

cool

[GTRnev8820]

what a car!

I love look of R8
