You can still attach a manual to an electric motor, several swap projects have retained the original transmission. You can also program the sound system to play any engine at any volume you want.
@@brandonperez9357 Check out the Genovation GXE and the electric 308. The GXE set the standing mile record for production EVs and the 308 has drastic performance gains with the swap.
These are what i love about the R8: * Manual Handbrake (Ultimate Control) 🙂 * 8700 Rpm redline (High Revving)😁 * 6-Speed Manual (Feel Connected) 😎 * 5.2L V10 (Sensational F1 Sound)🤑
The gated manuals are now going for way more than their new price. And worth it. The sound of the R8 in the tunnel is amazing. Some excellent camera work, thank you.
R8 is definitely the most daily drivable supercar, being in a manual its just that much more appealing. The fact that the new ones are dead even with the hurrican just makes me want one more
This tech spec of R8 is pinnacle of german engineering....the only extras I always missded with R8 were OEM coilovers with 10 inch hydraulic lift, central exhaust tip and polycarbonate transparent roof with sunshade and ventilation opening.
Yup, that Audi R8 won't just depreciate. I really love those gated shifters, why the heck car manufacturers don't make those in their cars? Audi R8 is dope, except for that compartment, I mean what if your out and suddenly you forgot that you ran out of supplies and needs to do groceries?
Instant classic Definitely a safe place to have some money tied up if you're owning it outright Have these already passed their low point in values? Have to imagine they have That metal gated manual is car guys wet dream
Only problem is by the time I graduate and get enough cash to own and maintain, this and gated Ferraris with increase in price even more, more. So alfa 4c and s2000.
Love this R8 but *Really disliked the 2016 R8 v10 plus coupe after driving one* *It's so damn digital. And isolative.* How is this achieved? My take is : 1. Softest ride I've ever had. While the mag shocks also stiffen when needed giving strong performance, it could be stiffer during the soft mode by far... Just a little bit more feel wouldn't hurt. 2. *So quiet in cabin*. The outside is GLORIOUS AND LOUD, BUT it sounds so damn quiet and muffled inside.. (for my standards at least, and yes, even in sport modes) 3. The dual clutch tranny is not aggressive enough. Not in the sense in the shift patterns or programming, nor does it shift slow, it's very damn fast. But in the sense of the way it shifts. For example, in Porsches, when you redline shift he dual clutch would still sort of Gallaro Shift (aka jerks the car) the car. In the R8 it's just so damn luxurious and smooth. I don't like it... 4 I can't put my finger one it but it just feels so isolating. I feel like I'm not even driving the car. So easy to go fast and lots of power but dare I say kind of boring... I'd definitely get the spyder in the current gen to at least hear the car. The generation of R8 in the video is I suppose less refined But also looks more fun already...
LegendInThaMakin you're comment is so ridiculously silly I can't even process it 😂🤣😂🤣😂OK 1. I used dynamic mode 2. You can't go as fast with Windows down, nor would owners out it down on faster spirited drives or the track...Saying to open a window for sound is like saying close your eyes when you have sex because the partner is unattractive, instead of finding someone attractive to you... Plus it's a supercar, WHY am I suppose to be content with something subpar? It's like saying if you bought an expensive gun with no barrel, it's alright, just pretend it has one? 3. I suppose money is no matter to you? Do you even understand the price difference between an R8 v10 plus and an Aventador.... Damn RUclips boys these days. Salty about everything. Furthermore it's completely fine to be disappointed even if you are a fan boy, it's reality. I recently met my hero, the 991 GT3, while it was everything imagined, it also had a few characteristics I didn't like. And I became disappointed. But that's just reality. These things are just toys at the end of the day. Just like a movie is just a piece of medium and a game is just a game.
kevin woodward I can't tell you, because I haven't driven the LFA. But that engine certainly seems glorious. The looks are, however, too questionable for my taste. That's all I can say. I simply won't nor can say anything about a car I've not driven.
It's your opinion, don't care about people who can't understand it. If you don't like it, it is fair. I mean a Dodge Charger with a 440 gives me the boner while a Ferrari GTO 250 doesn't.
Bro I love when you do videos on manual cars bcuz you really know how to drive them Some niggas just shift gears as soon as it touch 3000rpm which is wack I had the b7 s4v8 6speed and this is how always drive! real nigga shyt!! #Audigang
The R8 is meh but with a gated shifter. It looks like a lot of fun. I’ve never been into the faster car ever. Just a nice cruiser with a manual and a nice exhaust.
You mentioned something about later versions offering a manual if the owner were to ask Audi. So if I had a brand new R8, you’re telling me there’s still hope to get it in manual??
From VinWiki I understand there aren't a whole lot of them. I think with a V10 and manual it's under 300 cars. I could be wrong about specifics but there certainly aren't a whole lot.
I disagree. I was in DT Vancouver a few weeks ago and there was a white R8 gen 2 parked on the street outside LV retail store and no one stopped to look at it. Later I saw a white R8 gen 1 v8 parked on the street about 2 blocks away and I noticed a few people stopped to check it out. Honestly the gen 1 R8 still has that wow that's a nice car factor. People appreciate the original R8 way more. But yes if you park them side by side the gen 1 looks very tame.
IKajunB holy shit you must be deaf or stupid. There is hundreds better sounding engines. Not only V10s. All R8s, LFAs and Carrera GT V10s sounds better than shitty S85.
IKajunB you don't think alweys. You have E60 in your profile. Now I know why you are so stupid moron... You are just bmw moron.

TheEryk03 Big Mouth. I never said I was the best sounding engine. I said it sounded better than the R8. Here are the fact of the s85: #1 Wards international Engine of the year winner...#2 Best performance Engine of the year # 3Best engine over 4 litres. # 4 Best new engine. The BMW S85 Engine beat the runner-up engine from Ferrari by the last margin in the history of the award. I like the Lexus LFA sound but it arrange by Yamaha..The Carrera GT sounds epic. You can thank me later for the knowledge.
Sam Toure those rankings doesn't include sound. And S85 sounds worse than the AUDI 5.2 V10... 5.2 Fsi V10 got secoud place in last engine of the year award just next to Ferraris 6.3 V12. S85 is dead so fuck off with this outdated shit. Today are better engines because brand like Audi or Ferrari are getting better and better each year and BMW is getting worse and worse.
Roads Untraveled I came here for JDM classics even American classics but what's with all the soul less supercars before I could see the work that people put in but now... It's different
His roots are driving sick cars so us regular peasants of the land can see what they are like even if we will most likely never get the chance to drive them.
In the last few weeks we've posted some of our best content ever, featuring owners of a 500whp E46 M3, 420WHP Porsche 911, and just yesterday a uniquely modified Rav4! Turn on that notification bell so you can keep up :) I drive anything I find interesting, not just JDM cars. If you think this Audi R8 doesn't have a soul, you are completely wrong. This is one that will go down in history.
To each his own but I have never driven a car that I like the automatic better than a manual. I have turned down several cars including the upcoming beautiful mid engine vette but no manual, no deal!!!
Overrated huh? Here in the future, your comment is even more silly. the gap between the value of the auto and manual continue to increase. In other words, the market certainly doesn’t think it’s “overrated”.
Angry 8 dude seriously??? What the fuck... That is the stupidest comment I've seen the whole point of Audi having a gated shifter is to have more fun in it than paddle shifters, I mean don't get me wrong paddle shifting is interesting but manual transmissions are dying and personally speaking I've been driving manual transmissions all my life and I can tell you without hesitation that it is the most fun of the bunch... I mean you can make a 4cyl or in fact any car fun if you have it in manual transmission... not many people nowadays understand the beauty behind manual transmissions you feel more connected with the car that's for sure.
Be sure to checkout and share the full feature episode with this gorgeous R8 V10!! ruclips.net/video/rkKOPu_ATqA/видео.html
High revving V10, gated manual, and a real handbrake! Oh man this needs to go in the dream garage!
I know what you mean. What else is in the dream garage?
The handbrake uses a different, smaller pad, sadly.
Such audi R8 with manual is just a great example why electric vehicles will never be as much fun as combustion engine cars for every day driving!
Tesla is for old men with saggy ball-sacks and nerds

Manual V10. 👍🏻 what to say...
Some of the E60 M5 were manual

Glad to see an supercar review with manual transmission . Last of a dying breed!
Wow! I didn’t think the R8 V10 came in manual. Thanks for posting a manual video of an Audi R8. Peace ✌🏿 dude.

my dream car, idc if its v8 or v10, audi has made a classic almost perfect daily super car and for that value? incredible, awesome awesome car
The V10 is the same engine like in the lamborghini gallardo
Manual transmissions for life 😩❤️
Got a buddy with a ferrari Scuderia that might be interested in doing one of these videos.

Thinking of buying a v8 r8 2011 6 speed it would be my first manual car
What colour R8 is that? It looked blue in some points.
Man I gotta get me one ☝️ of these 😎
Manual is the way
Over-run crackle NEVER gets old. Just saying.
Yeah kinda
can i go to a random auto shop and request a maunal gearbox installment ? (sorry i cant speak english well)

1. There is a soft and a hard mode, use either
2. Wind your window down
3. If u want neck breaking hard shifts buy an aventador

The only other manual VW V10 that tops this is the gated shifted 2wd Gallardo I think it’s called Valentino Balboni
Never getting rid of mine.
Car RUclipsrs can learn from you guys and its an honest opinion, not sucking up...
No problem with bottoming out, you say. Um, take a close look at 5:50. I see evidence of exactly that.
Manual huracan? Fuck yes
I miss this car so muchhh
Dude a need a Manual sport car , its different level
The R8 is meh but with a gated shifter. It looks like a lot of fun. I’ve never been into the faster car ever. Just a nice cruiser with a manual and a nice exhaust.

He reminds me of jesse from breaking bad
keep up the great work
I will own this car.
Do you know where i can buy a manual v10 one?
Was only 51 made for us.
Fancy Sportscar With a Manual Transmission
I dont like many videos but when I do.....
stay driven my friends
Good luck on the 101/405 parking lot with the manual
No problem in traffic if u know how to use the clutch lol
Gentleman’s car would be more of a Porsche 911 turbo s imo
This is one of my top 10 cars of all time. Manual R8 only
I need one.
What year is this
My name is Tyler McCann and I will be an Audi R8 owner one day. this shall serve as an extension toy daily affirmations.

Haha I wish you the best of luck sir.
My dream car
same :)
Nice speccc!!!
He is just switching gears from 4 to 3 instead of 5 and 6 at high speeds. Perhaps for the sound. But rpm will go high.
yeah and more horsepower
My dad just got one, tryna learn how to drive lol
what year is that one?
He said that mic gonna burn but dont change anything 😅
You gotta do a video on my E63 M6 manual. Sounds better than this
Did you get the RS spec?
ruclips.net/video/u1dx-RAa9xE/видео.html
U always put pressure on clutch which is not good. Eventually u will damage clutch plate.
So this is around the same price range as the Porsche Boxster Spyder now . Would you still go for the R8? Still slightly out of my price range ;)
R8 all day. How often do you see these beautiful machines? Boxters are common by comparison. Just my two cents.
What wheels are those??
if only this was in the huracan :(
It was in the Gallardo tho
I was waiting for this, lool
Never knew they made v10 manual R8's....
From VinWiki I understand there aren't a whole lot of them. I think with a V10 and manual it's under 300 cars. I could be wrong about specifics but there certainly aren't a whole lot.
Swaped or original?
lol it’s already worth 50-70k premium over the auto.. i have a dual clutch car 😢
Car was striking now it's been around to long lost it wow factor completely
Allen Saunders sorry for your loss
Mitchell Steindler I'll get over it
