I dropped my phone in excitement when I saw this thumbnail its def a dream car for me I remember when you did your R8 review like 3 years ago and have been drooling for another since then, please bless us with the night drive of this car o' great tedward!
The coupe looks so much better imo with its sloping roofline. Not to mention that the engine compartment stays illuminated for a short period time which looks incredible especially at night.
This car was revealed the same year I was born. Its amazing seeing how much it has developed over the past 17 years. And it makes me sad theyre not making them anymore.😔
That engine reminds me of the V10 screamers that were in F1 cars. The only only other car with that wail is the banshee in the LFA. I grew up with Naturally aspirated BIG V8s, so a naturally aspirated engine just sounds and hits differently. The R8 looks ordinary yet seductive. Many super cars are just track demons with hard suspension. Otherwise those track demons are not good on regular roads. The R8 can do a track day but it's able to go for a daily drive or a day trip. The pinnacle of "let's see what we can do with no money as no object yet make it livable."
The only reason I never bought the R8 (I really wanted to!) is the minuscule frunk. It has to be a daily I can take on a 3 day road trip and the R8 does not cut it. 911s, Vantages or even Ferraris are significantly more practical.
The best thing about these is that if you wanna enjoy the V10 soundtrack without anyone else knowing what you have, you just get yourself an older S6/S8 with a very similar engine for ~$20k.
I was really excited when I saw this notification and if I’m correct the C6 Audi’s have v10 in them for the s6 and rs6... looking forward to a POV drive of those hopefully!
honestly shift paddles, indicators and all other stuff you have near the steering wheel that you use regularly should be made out of metal instead of plastic, like Bentley does, I donno why only the ultra luxury cars do this but any car above 80,000 should have it
Ease to live with is very important to me. I’d MUCH rather drive my car than work on it… (I used to like to work on my cars, when I was doing it for the first time, and when I had to; I don’t have to anymore)!
The plus modell with performance mode feels louder. Furthermore u need dynamic for more pops no matter what setting you use in individual dynamic is louder
I love audi for their suddenness my first audi was a 05 a4 3.0 and 8 mouths now I have bought a r8 i was going with the 10 cylinder but can't find any in an manual.
I was hoping you're going to show us this one when I saw you pull up to Bond Group in the Speedster. 😁 Definitely one of my dream cars and one of the cars that sparked my love for them. I remember sometime back in 2010s when I saw the 1st gen in that brown paint at Krka National Park pulling up to the parking lot. The wow effect was there. Fast forward a couple years later and the 2nd gen comes out - a true beauty and a dream car right away. Years have gone by and my love for it is still the same as it was back in the day. One thing that R8 does better than Huracan, or maybe even better than any other car is this steering wheel and center console. On this one the wheel is exceptionally good due to being two tone. I've never seen one like this in an R8 before and I'm in love. I also love that the only screen in there is the one on the dash and the center console is nearly nonexistent. In no world if I were to get one, I would think to myself "It's a good car, but I wish I could afford a Huracan instead". I don't think R8 lacks anything, even if you ignore the price difference. It is an amazing car as much as a Huracan is. For the past month I've been in my black on black on black era, but I know it's temporary. With that said - this is a gorgeous spec. This shade of blue is already my favourite choice for an R8 when I'm not in my head with the batman specs and I think this two tone interior matches it perfectly. Blue stitching to match the paint job is a cherry on top. I wish it was present on the seatbelt too. All that topped of with what is imo the best rim choice available for an R8, and in the best colour possible too! If I had ~$150-180k to spend on a car that would match all my needs (so that probably would have to be a 2nd car choice sadly), an R8 would be a no-brainer and this one in particular would definitely be one of my first R8s, if not the first overall, that I would take a look at. Couldn't care less about RWS if I could drive something that looks and sounds that good. This vid goes on my special playlist that I will definitely look at if I become somewhat wealthy. 😅
Have you driven a convertible? If not, don’t knock it till you try it. first convertible I drove I was instantly hooked and now I drive a Miata. If you have driven a convertible well then fair enough, it’s not for you, but for me it’s more like “I really don’t care to see the engine through a glass panel when I can put the roof down anytime I want.”
10:50 As this is the “regular” version It only has these basic paddle shifters and pedals. The performance model features the sportier ones found in the rs models. Still kinda dumb as it’s not a regular Audi in any way.
Great car, but for the life of me I will never understand why anyone would choose a convertible. It is a downgrade in almost every aspect, especially looks and performance.
Lamborghini’s greatest blessing and curse is being associated with VAG, specifically Audi. This guy constantly putting down Lamborghini to make this car looks better 🤦🏿♂️
On the third day of Christmas, my Tedward gave to me
3 R8’s
A peek in Garage 42
And a Wilhoit Speedster in a pear tree
I expect a finished song in 9 days😂
This is going to become a comment meme I sense...@@menglish9294
if you didnt finish this I swear
Idk who speced this car but i thank him for not opting black wheels.
fr the whole paint spec on this car is so neat
@@paulhillbeats one of the best looking blue colors i ever saw

It is a looker. The color combo is pretty.🥰 I like that it’s not all crazy looking like a Lambo.
What a beautiful machine. Such an amazing engine note.
Doing 95 on the 95 on ramp CLASSIC

Great video and even a little race... 13:44 green toaster keeping up with you for a bit there haha

Wow that just looks and sounds smooth and visceral. Want one!
Audi by far has the best interiors. Really enjoy the vids BTW!
If you're afraid to buy cars because it's gonna upset ur wife or something, then u need to rethink ur life decisions and who u are marrying.
Unless buying the car was an irresponsible purchase, yeah
Wow, such a beautiful car !!! Nice Driving though.

my jaw drops every time i see an r8! 😱
Have the gen 1 v10 spyder 6 speed. Hard to find a better driver. Epic sound.🎶

Love they way r8 looks
Audi exclusive interior 👌
I love audi for their suddenness my first audi was a 05 a4 3.0 and 8 mouths now I have bought a r8 i was going with the 10 cylinder but can't find any in an manual.
Tree felling next to the road while you’re driving a convertible will definitely wake you up!
Looking forward to seeing this, I always wondered about Audi sports cars, if they are worth it or are just a beautiful scam.

They cracked the code with this one. Sad to see it go.
God I love these videos lol
next winter beater? 🤔Definitely need a set of quick jacks to do my own oil changes if I had this car...and Rockauto would be my place for mx parts 👍
I love this spec
I get the same cheap pedal shifter on my car lol, but I replaced them with carbon fiber, and I think it's a must!
To be a 2018 model it’s very clean
The R8 is the only supercar that fits 2 30oz Yeti tumblers in the cup holders. I could easily drive mine everyday.
I don't know who would ever choose having a convertible over having a glass window over your V10

car is a beauty
how do you spawn these cars in a parking lot and then drive them? what is this GTA?
masterpice
It’s what Jeremy Clarkson called “a cement salesman’s car!”
The sound of that ….😮😢
I’m local to MA, what road were you driving on today it’s beautiful!
I’m still waiting for the day you review a Gen 1 R8 V10 😔
My fiancé’s dream car! I hope she gets one so I can drive it lol
In general, what do you prefer... steering wheel mounted paddles or stationary paddles?
10:50 As this is the “regular” version It only has these basic paddle shifters and pedals. The performance model features the sportier ones found in the rs models.
Still kinda dumb as it’s not a regular Audi in any way.
Can you casually do a review on an Alfa Romeo 8C?
How do you know, Tedward??
Can you review a audi rs5 v8
People don't realize that Lambo suspension is really stiff which takes away from the enjoyment of driving it on less than perfect roads.
What's that flapping off the rear?
What happened with the muted audio? Did RUclips censor Christ? 🤔
It was a slurry of swearing. Some folks watch with their kids so I just cut it lol
@@TedwardDrives oh, whoops... Just re-watched that bit and realized the falling trees 😬
What’s that thing flapping on the back of the car when you do a pull? You can see it in the rear view mirror
License plate in a bag.
Looks like the dealer plate.
First 🎉
This interior, Huarcan exterior would be perfect. The Audi styling looks so awkward.
R8 kinda sounds like something in between a BMW and a Lambo
Maybe because huracan uses this engine
This vs AMG GT vs M8
I think whoever decided that plastic paddles that literally come off of the A3 should be in the HALO sporrts car should be immediately fired!
Probably a cybertruck in the future?
Absolutely not. I’m an enthusiast.

Great car, but for the life of me I will never understand why anyone would choose a convertible. It is a downgrade in almost every aspect, especially looks and performance.
I never liked this car. It’s the bookkeeper’s gone wild super car. It may be great, but in my view its just lame
Ok
