In my younger years I always chased Hp and a top speed number, Now that im in my 40s I appreciate the small things like handling/ suspension and fun factor. I got to ride in one of these at a AUDI gathering in Kentucky, awesome car
Totally agree, and I'm not even in my 30s yet. There's something special about a small, nimble car with a howling engine down some twisty mountain roads. More so than going at any speed. Anything with around 200 horses per ton is enough.
- We are being overtaken! No we are not !!😂 That was so great to see that Mercedes coming up fast but not enough for that rare R8 V8 Thank you for sharing this moment w/us ♥
7:14 "oh man - it is actually starting to rain now" / lifts windows of the open top cabrio / ... few moments later... / realizes that didn't really work against the rain / 7:20 "we're going to close the roof, it's just too much..." Great video tho, brutal car, love it!
Mr. Beelaerts, you just made THE best video about the perfect Audi R8! This is a real unicorn, V8, manual, spyder, in “Samoa Orange” and LHD! I repeat, just the perfect one, a real dream. Thanks for the post. Greetings from Brazil.
For my 18th birthday my friends dad let me drive his R8 V10 Gated manual for one day. It was the best day of my life. Dream car, I hope to own one day. And keep along side my ‘95 Audi S6.
Max amazing video mate!!! You really display how all of us enthusiasts feel. You should try to find a Audi TT Abt limited addition to drive, I would love to see you review it. Not the fastera car but a very beautiful one and it would be cool to see how much wider it is than the regular mk1 tt!!!🔥
Can't wait for my planned 10 s 100-200. This car is surely fast enough, although not mega fast. But to think my old hatch will do a bit better is just lovely...
Hello brother from Morocco 🇲🇦 am watching u ,R8 is beautiful car and so paowerfull and fast ,we need classic car as like dodge charger 69, mustang 69.....
feels like the engine is slightly slower than the V10, probably due to the heavier flywheel? You really have to bang on the shift with the V10 or the rev will drop way too fast...the V8 is so much better to use in this term
...there is desperatelly missing manufacturer of aftermarket high-quality hard-tops for convertibles ( like Merc SL R129 had) to unable winter drive w/o necessity of exposing fabric roof to freezing out that cases sooner shrinking of the fabric....first owners don't care having several cars and changing toy car every 3 years but second hand owners are those who need their car be more than summer-weekend toy....with current tech options it is on disposal open such business...

Nice to hear Simba

That's funny, I've always cared about handling first. High speed gives you much less pleasure than driving at the max through the corners.
@Starstrike compare it to all the performance models right now. 200hp / ton is not much. MX-5 is around there and is by no means fast.

Oh Max, I always love your U turn drifts, it looks so cool and I'm learning that, keep doing that in every car, I love that so much!
I totally agree with you. The u turn drifts are pretty insane, I love them🔥🔥🔥
9:08 🔥and 9:15 clean u turn and a little bit of rev limiter 👌 awesome car.
Holy moly, this colour is beautiful!
I can't get enough of that gear change 🤤and a manual V8! 🖤
10:20 i love the fact that he keeps pressing and hold the wheel like he has paddle shifters 😂
9:14
Who needs a short turning circle, if you can do this.
"It hits a certain thing inside you which just makes you feel really good"
Never change, Max
- We are being overtaken! No we are not !!😂
That was so great to see that Mercedes coming up fast but not enough for that rare R8 V8
Thank you for sharing this moment w/us ♥
Going 160 in the rain made my cheeks pucker.
Especially when he said earlier the tyres were only rated to 240 km/h 😂
That classic click when he shifts - yes!! 👍👍
That gated manual though🔥
One of, if not the, coolest engine of all times. Absolute technical masterpiece. Faster average piston velocities than a formula 1 engine.

Greetings from Brazil.
Gotta love a manual R8 🔥🔥
A manual V8 in general is happiness explosion in pant inducing
"AHH we're being overtaken.....no were not!"🤣🔥✌️AUTOTOPNL👑
The man who ordered that new showed he was one who think for himself. A very nice spec and a rare future classic.
Fell in love with the car, you do some pretty awesome maneuvers with the car man, and the sound of the V8 is always music to the ears !
Color is amazing
Love the vids yo been watching for a while now n the assortment of vehicles u film is awsome keep it up man
What a car broo loves it ❤

the engine sounds so good
You can’t tell me cars in the last 7 years have got any better than this. Faster yes, more powerful yes but better no
I LOVE that this car isn't the fastest. You can rev it out practically anywhere. It's luscious.
Looks like a ton of fun. Maybe not the fastest but fast enough. Well balanced. Nice one Max! Oh and the colour. 👍
I love this engine. Please review a B7 RS4 with this engine.
I had the coupe - manual 4,2. Epic car
Still my favorite R8
The gearshift is just ufffffff
I would love it with 4.2 turbodiesel 👌

I think the V8 sounds better than the V10 in the case of R8, or maybe it's the newer versions that don't sound like the older ones.
Câmbio manual deve ser uma tocada sensacional.👍👍👍
Manual, V8, and RWD all day
Yup, that sounded good!
One of my favorite cars
The matching jacket was a nice touch.
My GOD this gear box is a true Warrior
The only R8 is the one with the Lamborghini V10!!
I prefer the older head/taillights and exhaust tips, in a coupe body. 😅
Absolutely beautiful machine, and that manual, oofff... 😍😍😍
cool car and another cool video
Manual 100% 👌
mind blowing !!
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!
The perfect Audi.
Best gen 🔥
Audi r8 is the best
Manual cars are beasts 🎖
Can't wait for my planned 10 s 100-200. This car is surely fast enough, although not mega fast. But to think my old hatch will do a bit better is just lovely...
Its beautif love it
Audi R8 I s wonderful
Also the first car to feature daytime running lights
Hello brother from Morocco 🇲🇦 am watching u ,R8 is beautiful car and so paowerfull and fast ,we need classic car as like dodge charger 69, mustang 69.....
Time to launch an electric version of r8. We need all the autopilot function!!

How could you ever drive a sports car that isn't manual? greatest travesty of our lifetimes, automatics.
feels like the engine is slightly slower than the V10, probably due to the heavier flywheel? You really have to bang on the shift with the V10 or the rev will drop way too fast...the V8 is so much better to use in this term
Now I gat it that why Robert Fowney JR. as known as Iron Man was driving this car on his all movies jssjjsjs
Nice ride but crazy how much slower this is then the current ones. Yes I know V10 vs V8
Verslaafd aan jouw kanaal!
Please do a bmw x5 e53 3.0d or just an e53.
Plz do a review on the mclaren senna if you can find one.
Top
Test the Mercedes CLK-GTR!!
You were published this car before
Please drive E89 BMW Z4
Am i the only one who doesn't like this video to end
P.s. this manual gearbox is satisfying holyyy
We neeed a dodge viper 😈
Tires limited to 240 km/hr, goes 260 km/hr lmao
Are you ever gonna do pov "review" on mark IV supra ... I know you already have a video with supra but its not review...
your mic volume is too high, it makes it hard to hear the engine.
Which is easier to gear compared to S1?
Can you drive a tata nexon electric car
THAT COMPANY FROM THAT CAR IS BESIDE MY UNCLES COMPANY
before 1 mil
V8 tip top, you dont need speed of light!
Prefer the V10 manual version
I've watched the bit at 11:54 again and again...the gear changes and noise...omg 😬
"This car is for sale". Proceeds to thrash the nuts off it. THE best way to advertise a car! Just wish I was in the passenger seat 😄👍
Meu amigo esse cambio na mão desse cara não dura um ano kkkkkk
It has 57000 km and It is listed for 99,950 €
👍😁
Don’t touch first gear when your driving. Your not good with standard

Atleast the Mercedes tried. I wish more cars would try it on Max. I would be lying if I said I don't wish they try
For how much is it selling? Seems like a lot 😂😭
Did you forget the tyres are limited to 240kmh? 😂
Uau
u forgot to play kerosene song
The reason why i want rather a V8 Audi and not a V10:
Corvette C8 z06 plezzzzzzzzzzzzzz
That 8000RPM
MY NAME IS MAX 😉
Good till they need fixing. Which is all the time if you can get the parts.
the steering wheel is big
Looks like it needs an alignment...
☝🏻😍🔥👍🏻
Gta legend
