The Art of Racing: A Lamborghini R8 Takes Center Stage

As we launch our Lamborghini R8 for what promises to be an exciting racing experience, it becomes apparent that this car is more than just a machine on wheels. It's a testing ground for its limits, a proving ground for the skills of its drivers, and a platform for innovation. And as we begin our first lap, it's clear that the R8 has something special up its sleeve.

A Brief Introduction to the Lamborghini R8

The Lamborghini R8 is a supercar that has been making waves in the racing world since its debut. With its sleek design and powerful engine, this car is built for speed and agility. But as we soon discover, there's more to the R8 than just its impressive performance capabilities.

Reeling In Tommy

As we take our first lap, it becomes clear that our driver, Harry, is struggling to get into a rhythm. He's pushing the car hard, but somehow, he can't seem to find his footing. Meanwhile, our other driver, Tommy, is cruising along effortlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the racing experience. But as we take a closer look at the R8's performance capabilities, it becomes apparent that there's something special about this car.

The Power of the Lamborghini EC

As Harry struggles to get into a rhythm, it becomes clear that the Lamborghini EC is playing a crucial role in the R8's performance. This advanced system allows the car to adjust its power output and torque delivery, giving it an edge over other cars on the track. But as we soon discover, this system also has a darker side - one that can be detrimental to the car's overall performance.

Beta Testing and Limited Performance

As Harry continues to struggle, he confides in us about his experience with the R8. He reveals that he was able to get some beta testing done on the car, but unfortunately, it didn't quite go as planned. The Lamborghini EC seems to be playing a trick on him, limiting the car's performance and making it difficult for him to get into a rhythm.

The Brake Test: A Showdown Between Tommy and Harry

As we take a break from racing, we decide to conduct a brake test to determine which driver can bring their car in shortest. With both cars at 100 mph, we watch as they hurtle towards the finish line. But just as we think it's going to be a close call between Tommy and Harry, the Lamborghini R8 proves itself to be the real deal.

The M3 Touring: A New Challenge

Meanwhile, we're told that our friend has recently purchased an M3 touring car, but plans to tune it up soon. We can't help but wonder how this car will stack up against the Lamborghini R8. Will its standard engine be enough to take on the mighty Italian supercar?

The Final Showdown: Me vs Harry

As we prepare for our final showdown, we're filled with excitement and anticipation. With both cars revving their engines, we take off like rockets, racing towards the finish line in third gear. But just as we think it's going to be a close call between us, Tommy's Lamborghini R8 proves itself to be the real deal.

A New Car for Tom

But wait - what's this? It seems that our friend has recently acquired an M3 touring car! And with plans to tune it up soon, we can't help but wonder how this new addition will change the dynamics of our racing experience. Will it be a force to be reckoned with? Only time will tell.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat we win in a drag race between a tuned BMW M3 touring with 1,000 horsepower the new Lamborghini Ro Alto with 1,000 horsepower and a tuned Audi R8 twin turbo with 1,000 horsepower well we're going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile I'm Matt Watson and you are watching carwow now let me tell you about this M3 touring so BMW selling this car with a 3 l twin turbo straight 6 that puts out 510 horsep 650 newm of torque however Tom Wrigley has taken it and fully built the engine fully built the gearbox hybrid turbos YY YY YY everything that you could do and it now has 1,000 horsepower and it has 1100 newon M of torque oh my God so in terms of pricing this car with options it's getting on for £100,000 but with the upgrades it's going to set you back an extra 35 Grand so £135,000 all in for this particular car weighs in at over 1.8 tons and it uses an 8-speed automatic gearbox so that has been tuned fully built it can cope with all the talk anyway let's find out about the ru Alto from its owner Tommy hey Tommy how are you I'm fine thank you very much I didn't hear a word of that Tommy I'm guessing you're fine can you give me the stats on your time naturally aspirated 6.5 L V12 with three hybrid electric motors two on the front axle one on the rear 856 horsepower from the V12 alone but with the electric motors it comes to 115 and 1,000 new M of torque the 6.5 L V12 solely Powers the rear part of the car there is no drive shaft going to the front the front is just electric motors so it should be quite interesting it weighs 1,700 kg uh dry so wet weight probably about 1,800 and something and um it cost £450,000 new without options first thing that surprises me is the fact it's pretty much the same weight as this second thing that surprises me is just how expensive it is bloody hell let's move on to the Audi r V10 twin turbo and its owner Harry from Onyx hi Harry hi Matthew the gone Harry give us the Deets so this Audi R8 V10 is not an ordinary V10 so it has a BTS twin turbo kit fitted to it it's a 5.2 L engine it makes 1,000 PS power and 800 newm of torque this is driven by all four wheels okay so I think it's got same seven-speed gearbox as you get in the normal car the engine's not built is it's just turbos and remap and exhaust and stuff like that so yeah standard engine standard gearbox we're that last today um let's see we go and how much did he pay for that I paid £100,000 for this car so it's the least expensive car here let's see how it performs now if you want to compare the car stats side by side you just pause your video and you can see it right now you're welcome now let's do the first thing let's do the carw customary sound checks I'm going to rev up my M3 which I know is going to sound amazing because the exhaust on it okay that was pretty mental you got to admit that now let's go over to you Harry to hear your V10 oh can you hear the turbos yeah Tommy go on um I'm not sure your sounds as good as that but go on now Tommy has got an svj haven't you what exhaust do you have on your svj I have a genti exhaust on my svj and it sounds delicious sounds so much better than that doesn't it yeah um exhaust pending not going to be standard for long anyway surprising I think the Lamborghini V12 came last in that particular challenge but will it come first in the drag race let's find out both of you have real four-wheel drive I do not have real four-wheel drive so let's see what happens bought the wrong car didn't you three a where's that my launch control didn't even work so I think I actually have a chance when it does work do you know what I think you might do this is going to be close let's be honest I won that one let's give you guys another chance how is it for you so the launch is brilliant however as I'm changing gear it's like it's cutting power ever so slightly so I might try manual gears see how we get on so I must admit this did not hook up properly that time so Tommy even though you think you might beat me I'm not sure that you will let's see what happens three 2 1 oh maybe you will come on Lambo power baby come on oh he did I see a green M3 I'm going to be annoyed oh this went a little bit sideways but Tommy fair and square you add me as long as you didn't jump I don't think I did let's see what happened stewards just a quick one did Tommy jump Tommy didn't jump Tommy you Legend yes well done one each come on game on Lambo power this car frightens the Hell Out meoo 3 2 1 Lambo power baby come on that M3 is quick it's coming come on it's coming it's coming it's coming but fair I'm going to call it on myself St inquiry let's just check that Matt didn't jump Harry how are you you're not really in this anymore are you I'm a bit disappointed I'm going to be honest I thought I had a chance but apparently not how much does it cost to tune an M3 like that I'm supposed to be getting one next week why did you just buy this one it was pulling if we carried on you would have gone P me cleanly I think someone might not being honest with their horsepower figures is that Lamborghini is it the tuna or the guy sld you your car yeah I don't think it's quite running the uh claimed power figures that the revolter just got another 100 horsepower and this has another 200 come on um stewards there was no jump yeah sorry I'm gloating listen do the thing and find out the numbers so then what exactly happened well the slow motion action replay reveals the BMW W however both it and the Lamborghini took 9.9 seconds to complete the standing quarter mile the Audi took 10.2 seconds want to sell your car quickly easily and for a fair price then head to car W to have over 4,000 trusted dealers ready to bid on it in an online auction

completely free I put a link in the description of this video and the Ping comment to take you directly to carw where over 4,000 dealers are ready to bid on your car or you can just click on the pop out B that should be appearing in the top right hand corner of the screen now alternatively just Google help me car wow and we will help you sell your car quickly easily and for a fair price on with the video hello help help tuna so I'm going to do a rolling race what mode do I want to be in it should be all right in any mate it shouldn't spin up leave it in M1 with traction off as long as traction's off it should be abolutely I want traction off I wouldn't have it on I had traction off in M1 before it was absolutely fine okay all right thanks okay if I die it's your fault it's his fault okay now we're going a rolling race from about 40 mph second gear to the half mile manual mod for the gearbox sporty settings let's do it three two 1 go this is rabbit this thing whoa waa okay um Harry so that was different for you wasn't it so I played about with a couple of things and all of a sudden it feels like I've got another 100 horsepower do you wish you had done that in the drag race so what I've done is I've taken it out of performance mode cuz it seemed to be cutting right at the top end I've just put it into a dynamic and manual mode and honestly it pulls like a train but does it have launch control in that setting try it no oh well if it had you could have had to go at the drag race again but unfortunately no Tommy um you were ahead maybe were once I don't know what happened so I pressed the paddle it didn't change gear and then it was giving me like sluggish gear changes so I feel like I understand this car a bit more now and when you launch it after a while or when you do something like hard it kind of like backs off I don't know it needs to cool down I think oh wait for him to go let his car chill out were you reeling me back in Matt I might have had you on the line I don't know but yes I was reeling you back in how you doing Tommy you okay yeah I'm coming back now it seems to have opened up the revs again you're not going a fuel we're going to find out on the next race okay so once again roll race we're going to do it the third gear from about 50 3 2 1 can I really back in here we go I don't know what happened to Harry that was interesting what happened in the last race Tommy because it was close then the RTO it seems like when you do like high or when you use all the power it needs to like go for a cooldown run so you can't do backto back runs because then the I think the gearbox it gets really sluggy even then you started catching me because it said limited performance because I ran out of fuel won even more I don't know if I crossed you on the line but that shot off I'm impressed with it I just I'm learning more and I think because it's so new Lamborghini they've programmed into the EC you to like kind of protect the car so they can find the limits of like the gearbox and the powertrain but yeah performing amazingly well so basically what's happened is a little bit like with like Tech where they're sort of releasing beta versions and rather than spend money developing the cars themselves like they should do they're releasing them to Market and then letting the customers develop them did you just describe Tesla because that's what it sounded like they fing Tesla aren't they that's a bit like how it is anywhere in the tuna world so over to you Harry because you must have had a beta experience in that race cuz you were nowh near so unfortunately I can't blame the tuna this time I can only blame myself for getting the start completely and utterly wrong fortunately that one's on me so I'd like to go again if we can Tommy can you go again I don't know if your car is allowing you to what does the software say have you got in a fuel what uh no can do it said limited performance so um it won't accelerate hard it's limited me to 8,000 RPM okay so we're not going to do it sorry Harry um what we can do me and your race but before we do that let's do the brake test okay so we're going to do it brake test 100 mph whichever car stops in the shortest distance wins then after that I'm going to race Harry and see if he can do it properly but I think tomy's out of it because he's got no fuel or some kind of other Tommy related issue here comes the line full emergency star oh a that Lamborghini stops really well Tommy doesn't it very close between me and you Harry but your car's shorter than mine bit like you're shorter than me yeah I think most people are shorter than you though how do you fit in an R8 you couldn't have an R8 spider a lofty guy like you I physically cannot drive a Lamborghini how you doing Tommy you won that one uh yeah again I put it in hybrid mode uh when I was breaking it uses regen as well so it stops really really well it does stop really well that car I'll give him that okay do you want to sit this one out me and Harry are going to have one last race from 50 m tonight in third gear you might want to move off the Trap though Tommy I want to see which one wins I really like the M3 but I like the R8 as well I don't know who I'm rooting for did you say you're getting a tuned M3 I'm getting a standard M3 touring but I'm thinking about tuning it now how many cars do you own uh too many as my wife says okay then Harry me and you let's do it third gear roll on ready 3 2 1 go well Harry no excuses that time mate you're lost fair and square I was crossing the line then at 174 mph there was a car length in it so it was pretty close but yeah you do just have the on me anyway listen thanks to Harry thanks to Tommy Great Cars thanks to Tom Wrigley for building this what an
