v8 is overall the best sounding engine. 10+ cylinders is just too much going on, the only reason we (car people) like the sound is because we know what it is.
Congrats Noel... it is same dream for me - first generation of R8, 4.2 FSI, manual/R-tronic - doesn´t matter for me. I had rental R8 for 3 hours last year and that 3 hours confirmed that I should buy it. Happy for you!
Sweet ride man. Don’t know if you’ve done anything on it besides the exhaust but I’d recommend an ECU and TCU (transmission) tune, pretty sure VF engineering offer both. More power smoother shifts and slightly quicker shifts. Will help preserve the clutch aswell.
Hard to decide haha. It depends on how you handle money, country, Partner choice, financial knowledge, side hustles, investing, saving, quitting bad habits etc. Everybody has different priorities and lifestyle. :)
very nice r8 you got man. how many kms and how much did you get it for? also why the r8, were you considering something else as well? and what did you have before?
Thank you. 65.000 km i loved the r8 since i was little. Amazing timeless design. Reliable v8 engine and sounds amazing. A very important car for audi with a lot of history. Perfect starter supercar in my opinion. I considered a corvette C5 because i love the engine, sound and styling. Had many cars before this. From audi TT to vw, bmw 530xd, 530i, 520 and more.

Yes the first gen r8 with a v8 is not that fast in comparison with modern sportscars. 0 - 60 in 4.6sec. Not bad but not that fast for current times. But still amazing after 15 years.
i honestly like the V8 sound more than the v10. the 4.2 FSI is just perfect
v8 is overall the best sounding engine. 10+ cylinders is just too much going on, the only reason we (car people) like the sound is because we know what it is.
but this engine is gasoline
Congrats! The R8 is my dream car, hoping to own one within the next 5 years. Have fun with it!
Thank you! I love it everyday. 5 years ago i could not have dreamed this. Good luck. 🚀
Just take your time...
Needed 2 years to find mine...buts happy!!!
Best legend car!
Its a V8 tho slow as fuck sounds like shit compared to the V10
Me too!!! I’ve set a countdown timer.
Hellcat better
V8 engines have this sound (0:09) like burbling as they rev from low rpm that is just glorious.
First gen R8 will always be the sexiest
Congratulations! What a beautiful car and sound!
Thanks a lot! Dream coming true. 🙏 Will post a lot of sound clips when the good weather arrives!
I think this still sounds better than the V10 tbh what an amazing machine :O
Thanks!
hands down the most beautiful car in the world. no competition
Making a R8 with a V10 has been like another version of Gallardo to me.
launch control at its best
Might just be my favorite R8. Manual!
Amazing car... incredible sound and drive sensations..
🙏🏼
Congrats!
Love this version....and What a sound 😍
Thank you! Sounds amazing. New clutch coming soon. Will sound even smoother.
@@noel_r8 hey!...
Is the New clutch ready to run?
Not yet. Building a new home so the car is in storage for the time being. In august it will be replaced.
@@noel_r8 all right.
Enjoy!
Thanks! Update will be online when ready.
God dayum. Until today, this is still the most beautiful car ever
First gen r8 is one of the most iconic cars of our lifetime and is just a masterpiece. Does not look real for its age. A true legend.
It is. Most people look confused after i said its 15 years old.
congrats on buying it man sounds and looks awesome
Thank you! The sound is amazing and is giving me goosebumps everytime. More to come!
u cant even dream a 2005 model sedan car in Turkey ^^
damn the v8 sounds astonishing as well!!
Might be one of the best sounding euro V8s next to Koenigsegg.
Its sounds very good. 👌🏼
Hey man congrats on achieving that beautiful car!
Thank you!
sounds amazing, im hoping to buy one of these when im older
You won't regret it.
Man, this just makes me appreciate the LC500's V8 even more ☺️
In 31 years when I retire i will hear this every day
At first i thought "This thing will sound like an RS6 with V10, a.k.a absurd", but damn, it actually sounds pretty cool, not too far away from the V10
Underrated. With the right exhaust this thing screams. 🙌
That’s one hell of a vacuum cleaner!
Shheesshh audi being audi sound signature
Now that is a good engine sound, instead of all those vacuum cleaners.
Naturally aspirated V8 engine with a good exhaust never gets bored. 🙏🏼
😂
thanks, i got for what i came, no 20 second standing sound no wind noises, just clean. thanks.
Just how i wanted it to be uploaded. 🫡
Still looks awesome and stylish
Timeless 🙌

Thanks! You will not regret.
The V8 is so slept on man. ❤
🙏🏼
offff you are crazy man ❤❤❤❤
This will always be the OG Audi R8, not the V10 version. Congrats on purchase
🫡🙏🏼
Congrats man beautiful car, have been my dream car ever since I was a kid
Love the R8 V10 but this thing sounds like a beast as well!
🙏🏼
I love this car so much
Damn you living my dreams. Congrats🎉, maybe one day we can ride together with in my own r8
Sounds great!
Sweet!! One of these days
🚀🚀
That’s clean
🙏🏼
I didn't expect it to sound that good, especially because of the fact that the V10 version exists
With the right exhaust they sound amazing.
nice car brothers
Sweet ride man. Don’t know if you’ve done anything on it besides the exhaust but I’d recommend an ECU and TCU (transmission) tune, pretty sure VF engineering offer both. More power smoother shifts and slightly quicker shifts. Will help preserve the clutch aswell.
Sounds wonderful
Sounds American-ish. If I got an R8 I would definitely get the V10, but this is nice too. Cheers from Lithuania.
Yes v10 is brutal. V8 is also awesome. Thanks. I lived in Lithuania for 6 months. Kaunas and vilnius. Great country. 🇱🇹
@@noel_r8 Both cities are beautiful! Glad you enjoyed it!
Bekend terrein! Gave video ook, kom je uit de buurt?
Sound great what type of exhaust in it
I think its a capristo not sure.
What should someone's salary / net worth be to afford this car?
Hard to decide haha. It depends on how you handle money, country, Partner choice, financial knowledge, side hustles, investing, saving, quitting bad habits etc. Everybody has different priorities and lifestyle. :)
Care before 2018>>>
very nice r8 you got man. how many kms and how much did you get it for? also why the r8, were you considering something else as well? and what did you have before?

fellas is it possible to tune an build the engine of an Audi TT to beat an R8 in a race ?
TTrs could easily beat the r8.
Of course.
This car rocks ❤❤❤😊
Yes it does. Love it. Thanks!
It seems so strange to hear a v8 in and r8 rather than v10 but really cool
Yes. Where it all started with the R8 🙌
amazing man i hope when im older im 14 rn i can get a car rn just need to work hard👍👍
Good luck! You can do it.
This is my dream sports car! What year is this one?
2008 model
Does this Audi R8 worth about $80k have the same 4.2 FSI engine as the $5k Audi A6 4.2?
Don't know but the r8 is way more fun and you will not lose money haha.
For me Personally, It sounds like a V8 that's in the Camaro ZL1 or the Cadillac CTS-V.
Sounds super American woah
sounds like a muscle car ngl
U didnt rev it up all the way though right?
Not the full 100%
🔥🔥
Good car
Nice video
good stuff
Bilestan lowering springs
Its so sad that audi stopped making r8.
Best looking R8. Facelifts just ruined it from here on in
Only legends call that car "Audi LeMans Quattro"🗿 in 2006
Hype Boys Hype Boys🗿
@@wesleybhramadu9416 Everyone's a bad man (Mic Boys Mic Boys) Everybody's a mad man, the sound it goes ratatatatata yeah right, the sound it goes ratatata!🎶
sounds like an LC 500
better than v10
🙌🙌
always have thought the v8 manual r8s are neat. never cared for the v10"s
a r8 with a v8?
Yes first gen came with a v8
At first i thought it was gonna transform
Где глушитель? На заводе не поставили глушитель? Почему так орёт когда едет?
Its a sport exhaust with valves open.
Lol how did i never hear what a V8 R8 sounds like? 🤣🤣🤣
If you ever heard a v8 rs5 then u heard this it’s the same engine
Flat Plane Crank V8 Sound
good
😍😍

Top mas jamais vai ser melhor que o v10
I always thought the V8 sounded better than the 10.
Mijn vader heeft exact dezelfde ook die kleur maar dan ook zwarte velgen en andere velgen hij rijd m nu 3 jaar
Nice!
@@noel_r8 Ja bro
V8 R8’s are still great looking, but your low end m3-m4’s will walk em
There will always be another car that will beat another. 🫡
Sounds great but look real slow for some reason.
Yes the first gen r8 with a v8 is not that fast in comparison with modern sportscars. 0 - 60 in 4.6sec. Not bad but not that fast for current times. But still amazing after 15 years.
Was worth the double 20 sec ads
Oh my god
better than the booring sound of v10 on every supercar
Also agressive but this one sounds more unique.
Ummmmmmmmm. V8? News to me. I thought R8 were V10.
Yes the first one were equipped with a 4.2L V8. Later they released the v10 with more power.
@@noel_r8 awesome I didn’t know that! Thanks for the info, awesome car regardless I bet it’s a lot of fun
These r my favorite car r8 Lamborghini Porsche and vw lol 😊
Sounds like a good combo!
😊
Sounds like a gallardo
Not very fast mind u
hmmph , germans
audi should have build it with the 3.0 and 2.0 diesel for the giggles xD and actual range xD

😊😅❤

Zeynep. AXA.

Super cars are fun until you own a sport bike. Then they are all boring
Not when make profit on them and drive them for free.
It barely moved tho

Car cool. Sound meh.
