  • R8 dont have RS badge and never will have this is R8 V10 5.2 FSI 525HP. Redline is at 8700rpm 0-100km/h 3,8sec 0-200KM/H 11,8 sec...1/4mile in about 11,5s@125+mph. Ring Time, there isnt official time, but we think about 7:35... Audi 4 EVEr!!!! DTM Racing Team!!

  • You are right regarding the name, but remember this video was taken in eastern 2007 - which is over one and a half year ago. As far as I know this is the first live video of the R8 with the V10 engine (at least on a track), and I needed to give it a "name".

  • It's not a RS 8 its an R8! god sake!

  • If you look at the side air intake, and lissen to the engine - it's easy to see/hear that it's not a standard 4.2 litre V8 R8....

  • Yeah im not saying its an ordinary R8, im saying they wont call it the RS 8. They'll just call it the R8 V10. They have a V12 TDI version and they didnt call that the RS 8.

  • That might be right and it might be wrong. Remember this video was taken in april 2007, and is from a test mule. Therefor impossible to know what they will call it. This is/was just my suggestion :-)

  • great car, wonder what is the best lap time this car can do? Watch mine:

    /watch?v=UfBW6jNfgrU

  • da new v10 from da new lambo lp560-4

  • yes but the v of the rs6 has turbo's and the V10 of the R8 hasn't :)

  • was that with the engine from an rs6?..572hp?

  • it isn´t a RS8 because the RS8 never excist its only the R8 5.2 FSI

  • use the &fmt=18 to get it unsquished

    ie.

    /watch?v=_mS2J9Nabbg&fmt=18

  • Yes.... The the image is narrower than normal, so when you see the R8 (V10) from the side, it almost looks like an Audi TT....

    And that isn't good :D

  • What the hell? The video is blatantly squashed.
