Love the video! As a gated V10 R8 owner, I can absolutely relate to everything you've said. I've had nearly 5 years of driving bliss with this car. It was my dream car ever since I first laid my eyes on it back in 07. Took me years of hard work and saving up money to buy one cash, no financing, but glad I did before the values skyrocketed during COVID! It still looks modern even after 17+ years. Its aged very gracefully! And it came out during, what I call, the golden age of motor cars. Has just enough tech, but still retains alot of analog elements us purists adore: hydraulic steering, a manual hand brake, mechanical LSDs, an normally aspirated high-revving V10 engine, and of course, the gated manual. This formula makes for a future classic. Its a car I will keep forever and drive until I am able to. Hopefully we get the carbon neutral biofuels in the next decade so I can keep driving it for many years to come. Long live the V10!!!
I have yet to drive the v10 but I just winterized our v8 and the shifter is a joy to drive for sure . The next best thing is my gti till the summer comes rolling in. It is a shame that it’s no longer in production 😢
Not a fan of the brand but Audi did have a very good design language in the models that started around that time, like this R or the A7. Got pretty stupid after with all the creases upon creases.
What a wonderful good looking supercar for every day with a fantastic V10 aspirated 5.2 litres FSi engine... sound is insane! Guys I've been told it a thousand times and I'm ready to say it again... you're the best car guys on RUclips. I follow you everywhere/YT, Facebook and Instagram/ and I'm happy to be with you. Keep pushing!

The Audi/Lamborghini V10 is built like a tank and can withstand loads of turbo boost.
Fantastic review!
@@Farva828 this guy know’s what he’s talking about
Nice car, Gary!
Great video of a great car! These R8s are truly under the radar super cars.
Yes indeed!
Underrated car
