In this carwow video, we delve into the world of the Audi R8, a beast of a machine that's been put through its paces over 9 months and nearly 9,000 miles. The host meticulously dissects the highs and lows of living with this supercar, from unfortunate self-inflicted wheel curb damage to pesky scratches mysteriously appearing on the mirror. The car's brakes draw criticism for emitting a ghastly grinding noise, a stark contrast to the thrilling track days it's built for.
Moreover, the absence of adaptive cruise control in this modern age is a glaring oversight, making long journeys a tedious affair. The outdated wired connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto poses yet another inconvenience, highlighting the need for a tech upgrade in the Audi R8. Suspension woes rear their head with fixed-rate dampers, causing a slightly jarring ride over bumps and drains, a surprising flaw in a vehicle of this caliber.
On the flip side, the Audi R8's roaring V10 engine steals the show, delivering an exhilarating driving experience that's hard to match. Despite its flaws, the car impresses with its ease of driving, excellent visibility, and nifty roof operation, making it a joy to maneuver on the road. The spider variant of the R8 garners praise for its quick roof deployment and striking aesthetics, with a color scheme that turns heads and sets it apart from the crowd.
