R8 reviewed by Top Gear

[IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN]

It looks too german, it doesn't sound right and the people who drive them are exclusively pricks.

[Inline6TwinTurbo]

@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN 1. How do you know that all the people that drive them are pricks? 2. "It looks too German" Well last time I checked the car is German so I wouldn't be surprised if it WAS German. And 3. If you listened it has the same 4.2L V8 from the Audi RS4 which is not a very supercar-ish sounding car.

[D9v9g9]

The nissan skyline gtr won.... look it up

[kway94]

withc series is this? and what episode? im trying to find it!!!

[piesior]

@kway94 S10E2

[alipontiac]

i'll take a corvette Z06 its cheaper & i will enjoy with the massive torque that out from 7.0 LS7 motor, and smoke even the R8 V10. but the R8 got the look & design.

[GPBadjoras]

@alipontiac WE ALL LIKE PLASTIC CARS THAT CAN'T DO TURNS ^^

[fuelmj]

@GPBadjoras and yet the ZO6 goes faster around the Nurburgring than the R8. Yep, can't do turns.

[kthinz37]

WHO WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sascorp]

it IS a particularly good looking car! i love the looks!

[DKRaFiQ]

its just a drag race... u aint gona race every porsche driver you see on the road. the porsche still couldn't catch up on a full track race :) 

[izzad98]

10m more and audi wins it



[KubleeIscool]

the r8 looks better then the porsche. and i cant belive that the r8 have a v10!!! and i dont noe about the porsche 911 (gt3???). also i cant belive that v10 lost

[nondope]

@KubleeIscool did you watch the video? it's a v8 fsi, not a v10. and it's a porsche carrera 2s... kiddy go play

[Chumbaweed]

@nondope It's a Porsche 911 Carrera 2. Did you listen to the video?

[ams914]

Porsche is Porsche and Audi is Audi. I would never choose one over the other solely based on performance.

[kbaldeo]

And a 2012 GT-R with a V6, destroys these numbers. Full props to the Japanese!

[Shinkajo]

who the hell cares if the porsche won, i would rather buy a VW golf than a porsche

[emanuel290]

sick!... that be all!

[xHowarth]

is this guy serious?? those are the sexiest headlights ive ever seen, and hes wrong on the 0-60, not 4.6 its 3.8 get your shit straightt top gear:)

[gxc123]

@xHowarth top gear is correct, the v8 is 4.6 0 - 100 kmh / v10 is 3.9.

[Davie272]

@xHowarth the 5.2 engine does 0-60 in 4.6 sec

[Davie272]

@xHowarth actually the 5.2 does 0-60 in 3.7 sec and the 4.2 engine does 0-60 in 4.4 sec, this is straight off the audi website

[da1gal]

100,000pounds in the UK. If you convert it to Ringgit Malaysia, it's only abt 500,000. But this car is retailing for 1.8million Ringgit in Malaysia. LOL... Crazy how much tax the govt imposes...

[GodlessMartyr666]

@da1gal malaysia is garbage then, Not the people or the place but the govt system and the taxing

[zeleniak09]

The Audi doesnt need to be loud, the looks make it stand out

[davyjones800]

I think Jeremy went blind at 2:12. The R8 is... Perfect. It costs about half of a Gallrdo and only goes slightly slower, it has one of the best 4 wheel drive systems in existence, it uses much less fuel than other supercars, it's comfortable, has normal Audi luxury interiors, and as Jeremy says in a different review - it has "Just about the most capable all round engine in production today - it is a masterpiece"

[Paikudesu]

@davyjones800

And it would loose against a GT-R, which also cost less.

[MultiCamo]

R8 = stylish technology car

911 = fun racing car

[Bader88]

they should've compared it with a Carrera 4S

[evxdaddy]

Not a big fan of either here. but the 911 is by far a better car. Porshce has a lot of racing history.

[DR4eva84]

Hammond's powerslide of the 911 is pure art!

[vindicator2008]

the R8 is a piece of art, whereas the Porsche is a piece of race car..

[tosho02]

how can you even compare an audi r8 to a simple porsche??

[Ele3tricEye]

"its about as high as a badgers badger"

this is why jeremy gets to drive the cool cars

[Aerosmithfan507]

the audi is wayyyyyy nicer- i own the porsche too.

[dns15r]

hes right o.o the porsche does look like vw beetle o.o

[limidge]

"This is like smearing honey into Keira Knightley." Brilliant visual, for a brilliant car.

[basser41609]

and it's about as high off the ground as a badger's badger

[RWJSubscriber]

from what i see is R8 lost

[1D5dozer]

if i win powerball tonite (about $260,000,000.00)

i will have one ASAP

[Mage2112]

The R8 is so cool! I want one so bad! I love the music too

[Mage2112]

The R8 is so cool! I love the music too

[murcielagoforlife]

pause it at 7:40.....too bad but R8 FTW

[Xspeed01]

Just remember the porsche got two cylinder less than the R8

[Knezpedja]

7:40 Porsche wins !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Knezpedja]

PS: R8 is designed by Porsche !!! :)

[DievansTheory]

Porsche is Audi. And wrong. R8 is a lambo.

[Knezpedja]

This comparison is funny ! Why 2S ?!?!?! Audi is 4x4, then they should put Carrera 4S there. In that case Audi would be far behind. It`s the fact that R8 is one of the slowest GT cars. But I give them 5stars for design and comfort.

[TheTrickytrick69]

how is it a GT? , a GT car is a Ferria 599gtb or a Aston martin v12 vanquish .The r8 is mid engined super car in the same vien as gallardo and a f430 that is the r8s competion.

[Knezpedja]

@TheTrickytrick69 OK my mistake. Audi looks really good but performance.... Anyway I think that Porsche is better !

[Gboy722]

amazing cars

[jakedaredneck]

technically, the 911 turbo is more around the price of the Audi ; )

[clawbog]

Love the r8, too bad it lost ;(

[AlexeyStek]

@clawbog eeerm, the R8 won? :S

[clawbog]

@AlexeyStek Pause it. the r8 lost...

[vubevube]

@clawbog don't pause it, just check more proper vid on youtube which is longer and has the result instead of watching this cut one... I don't have a clue what was the guy, who edited it, thinking

[shanebrain]

check 7:40...pause...

[Drizzt700]

are u kidding this car is one of the coolest looking cars ever

[mastaace604]

sounds like an awesome car, but by god its butt ugly, especially the front and the headlights, what were they thinking?

[hypnotizeu]

both of these cars are amazing

[nlindseightynine]

this is the most beautiful car ever made except when you look at its profile. does anyone else agree? it looks a little squashed. i love it though

[systemvadown]

the 911 by a nose

[chakin4141]

so who the hell won?

[msritebounw]

i hope the r8 won :P

[69lol69]

who won???

[shanebrain]

the porche won unfortunately...i wouldve loved the R8 to win...but porche had better traction on pull off coz the engine was in the back...but i seriously rate the R8 on a track would beat the porche...

[biggkattj]

I do have to disagree with him on the looks. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I used to list the BMW M3 as my dream car, for many many years. As in, since the late 80s. Then I saw this... black on black, go by my house in the middle of the night last year... instantly dropped the M3 to second place. Even moreso after checking out the specs

[Check0utMyGunz]

not even half a car. still prefer the audi though

[insptrGadget]

Def. doesnt look like 100mph

[FRonTLinES10064]

1:50...................fav car in the world

[MarshallsWall]

Haha I was just taking my car by my local Audi dealership and they had about 6 R8s lined up outside for a photoshoot. Simply stunning. And let's see them drag against the V10 R8

[alive4game]

love german enginnering.

[tzoutzouklerhs]

Yeap 7:41 R8 lost....Well nvm i still like it :)

[r33zybabyy]

if u keep pausing and playing when the race is about to be over, you'll see that the audi clearly looses

[epicyclic01]

Anyone know the song at 1:46 onwards?

[Jamzkangster]

LOL r8 for the mother fucking win!!!

[Kiatsterz]

7.41 R8 lost the race. =(

[elninoloco7]

[eduardoriveroll87]

[conceka]

[00StangGT00]

[FallGuy82]

This car is beautiful. Clarkson doesn't know what he's saying.

[boxingislife17]

[protonsingapore]

[devinefist81]
