I'm going to need your car again I'm going to need your car again So guys, new car Well, revised car is the R8V10 Plus with a performance part pack on it Upgraded brakes, new brake lines, fluids and wheels And importantly, big changes downforce pack And I'm here with Pro Racing Driver, PX I mean, yesterday we were on track chasing each other back to back Oh, it sounds amazing Oh, yeah, I have had the fortunate opportunity yesterday I was spending all day in the V10 Plus, which as we know by all standards is a fantastic car But I'm not just saying this, I did a few laps in this car last night Jumping back to back immediately from the V10 Plus in to this car Wow, and the number one word that I would say for this is planted I cannot get over the difference that the subtle changes this kit has made It's absolutely mad Now, the standard V10 Plus on the road is absolutely fantastic Doing no disservice to it at all On track, you can tell that it is more of a road bias car This thing though, on track it comes alive We were chatting with it in a straight line on the heavy braking in the V10 Plus It becomes a little bit light on the rear For me, this is one of the biggest changes is the aerodynamic end is the brakes The brakes, this guy is planted, it's just going straight and usually with a mid-size engine You have a bit of a dancing of the rear and this guy is just stable And I love it, I have to say I've found this much fun It's amazing And I'm not just saying this because we are here obviously today without it You know what I would tell you guys if it was all right The changes are tangible, it's so good I think this is very important, normally you are talking Is it a change, is it not a change? But for me, it's a big change It's a very big change and this is a proper technique It is, I am shocked actually I think let's not pretend when we saw this kit launched I think a lot of people thought it's just a body kit to make the car look nice And he is actually doing the job here So we are warming up so let's get some pace on the go and see The engine noise, what it's all about Rev it up until every line is red I think we are going to run out of track before that happens It's okay, it's all good I trust in you And the new 3 way, coil way Yes, it is a coil way adjustable coil over That's the one, yeah This is another notification change Because you can adjust it for your driving style And this was now right out of the box the car And for me, the handling is very neutral here in Barcelona Which you need some mechanical grip Which you need some aerodynamic And of course the braking, this is very braking is very impressive New pads and importantly lines and fluid as well After quite a heavy session on track yesterday The V10 plus while it was doing a very good job of holding it Did get a little spongy right? But it is also a good track day car But can't forget this Honestly I'm actually shocked It's like a different car That's amazing Yes, braking is beautiful The experience from yesterday is like I'm in a different car Wow, fantastic right? So when we are on the straight now Have a look on the rpm And when everything gets red then you shift All right Let's go Let's push it, push it There we go Everything needs to be red Oh nice Oh it's got a nice kick as well when we do it All right 200 miles 200 Wow, I suck it It's so good I know, they won't have to do it We are having too much fun We are having too much fun, we have to stay out Wow I am the netlet I don't know We need to get something done to film Okay, go pee Right Just stepped out of the R850 with the full performance part Kit, rather than me, try to explain my interpretation of it Got Pro Audi Sport Racing Driver, Niko Mula here How you doing? Very good Pleasure to meet you My pleasure This is your baby Yeah, pretty much I mean, there is not my name of it Sure, on the same car The R8 LMS Now when I'm looking at the V10 with the performance parts on it And this car has immediately things that stand out Let's start with the wheels Because they look almost identical, right? Yeah, I think they are pretty much I mean, obviously the design is the same And it really comes from the racing scene, let's say And as we know, the moving masses What makes a very big difference And the light today are the better days And we've proved them in 24 hour races They hold on, they are exactly They do their job, no, and they look cool The car is sucked to the ground And in the race car itself You obviously have a big diffuser on the back And the rear wing is exactly what you also see now On the performance part, it's quick All right, and it's very effective It generates a lot of downforce But at the same time, it doesn't have a lot of drag So it still goes fast on the straight Which obviously is free lap time when we are showing great cars And you like to go quick on the German Autobahn as well You enjoy having a wing It looks cool, it gives you a bit of a more stable rear But still, the car is fast on a straight line And so, I was told earlier that the wheels overall are saving About 8 kgs I think what's important to mention there is that It's all about the rotating mass It's 8 kgs, it doesn't sound much, right? But at speed, it expands I think the loose formula for it is You multiply it by 7 I think And that's the rough formula of how much weight the wheels end up being at speed So 8 kgs was that 56? Yeah, so, yeah So unsprung mass saving of 56 kgs is pretty awesome I mean, it makes a difference, so you can definitely feel it And the car is just handling very, very nicely I mean, if you just look at it from the design point of view The front flicks that we have on this car Of course, they look pretty much identical to what you can now have on your R8 road car A good performance part Yeah, nice And the front splitter as well, obviously on this it's a bit more exaggerated But on the performance part pack, it's still there, like a big shelf Driving them back to back, I honestly thought And this is no disservice to Audi But I did think it was more of a styling pack When I drove it, I was blown away Right, it actually is like a different car, it's crazy I think most people always believe that upgrades, tuning is just because of the looking good and looking cool But I think, yeah, they've done a good job, it does look good, but also works So tell me, while it was done in front of this car And I believe this is the actual winning car, right? Yeah, it won the spot 24 hours this year So cool, what's it like? What's it like to drive something like this, man? A lot of adrenaline Yeah, I mean, you have a lot of power, obviously But what makes that car special is the aerodynamics, it is very, very fast through high-speed corners It breaks extremely well, I mean, we approach, for example, turn one here in Barcelona With about 265, 170 KPH The corner is done with about 110 KPH And you break about 18, 75 meters before the corner to reduce the speed So it really does kill the speed in the short distance To put that into perspective, in the R8 road car, you're breaking about 200 Which is mad, well, there you have it From the race drivers mouth, thanks very much, thank you, pleasure to meet you Yeah, that's it, comments below, I want to hear your thoughts on it I'm probably as surprised as you are that that body kit actually provides so much more stability I was genuinely shocked, big things which you guys can't see Brake improvements huge, upgraded, pads, lines and fluid Yeah, and it just made for an all round, like, really good tool It's actually a more slightly tracked by a car now, which is very, very cool too As always, thanks for watching, and see you next time, ciao! Bye!
