Coupe V8 Manual! A classic that will appreciate in 5 years.
Everyone wants the V10, the V8 is mass produced and you can get it on other cars. You can even get it turbo charged on the S8 making the NA V8 Obsolete and slow. It's still pretty and sounds amazing, but it's kind of embarrassing to see a STOCK 32,000 dollar Nissan 370Z leaving it behind
sharpemang yeah something special bout that V10
My cousin has a Coupe V8 manual in white, that things sick! 🤠👌
I think you're right!

I have a 2015 v10 plus and love it, I purchased it in Taxes and drove it back 1600 miles to Maryland to get to know it. The best sports car I have ever owned…
Great video and great channel!! I recently started looking for a manual V10 R8! I don't have the money yet, but it's always nice to dream and start trying to pick out my Ideal Spec!!
The title makes it sound like you will cover the negatives tips but it's just facts.
A/C Cost 10 grand to fix. Goes out from the heat of engine.There is way to work around it without pulling the whole engine. The coil over suspension is crap. BC makes good ones. each coil from the dealer is $1450.00 a piece. By a complete set of 4 for less 2 grand after market. Car burns little oil in v8. check every 5k miles. 08-11 front frame can crack. There is fix for this by welding piece metal for support.
Brett B A/C can cost around 2 grand if you chose to fix from the bottom which makes it easier instead of taking it all apart
Clickbait
Awesome guide :) now it’s time to make the craziest purchase of my life 🔥
Do ittttt!
I just bought your spec! Love it and will never look back.
The ideal spec
Awesome video and channel with solid video structure, stats, and insight. You've got a new subscriber👍
I have an Ara Blue 2017 v10+. For me, the black wheels and diamond stitching were the difference maker in the choice of similar spec’d cars. Black wheels make the car look more sinister and the diamond stitching made the interior much more luxurious. Every thing about the ownership has been dope. The performance of the car is a little quicker than what is reported here. I have recorded 0-60 on two different devices that are sub 3 seconds.
Another great video - thanks. I would love to see you driving while talking about cars at some point.
Good video dude, good luck on your channel. Subscribed!
Thx Hiram. I really appreciate the support!
First time watcher, love your channel!! Subbed
What i wanna know is if it's true that the manual has issues?
Good video, I liked the information you covered. Just wondering why you and two other reviewers of the R-8 have not mentioned the front frame design flaw and frame separation issues with this car, especially in the 1st Gen cars?
Yeah very few people do, such a fundamental flaw in a key section of the car. They actually have the audacity to call it "space frame".
I believe that was fixed in 2011...no? But, yes that should be a very important bit of info. And that was in the V10 versions.
Honestly I think the 1st gen R8 is one of the most beautiful cars made
I can 100 get behind your statement
@@IdealMediaChannel Although Koenigsegg's look even nicer
Do you see the newer models 2012+ depreciating any further?
I liked the video. Hopefully once you get a bigger following you'll be able to get your hands on some of these cars to improve the quality of the content. Best of luck!
Audi did bring in some V10 R8s in 2009. They where the main sponsor for the Toronto film festival in 09 and brought some in for that. I own a 09 V10 R8 manual. Main difference from the 09 and 10 is the entertainment system.
what is that website to check price changes?
Great Video / Thanks💪🏼‼️
Another great video... Man your channel has really blown up.... I am consolidating my garage a bit and selling off the non driver items... just sold the XKR-S and currently selling a 1st gen NSX. Will be selling the ole V12 Jag Etype this Fall when the market comes back.. currently looking for a 14-16 R8 V10.. Have you ever done a video on profiling a potential car buyer to see what really fits their driving habits and lifestyle? Ive learned that I don’t like spending 6 figures restoring an old Jag that wont be worth what I put into it while I sit next to it for 8 hours at a car show. Nor do I wont something sooo mileage sensitive that I get mileage anxiety every time I drive it. Our 2013 911 4S Cabriolet is the driver focused car that can keep up with the crowd on rallies (and my wife loves it!) but it doesn’t have that super car punch that I am looking for. The XKR-S GT is always the rarest car at Cars n Coffee and it has Supercar performance but the front splitter is so low I am afraid to take it anywhere (and then there is that mileage anxiety thing again.) I like the idea of a a V10 R8. I can get it serviced at the local dealer, it can be a daily car if needed, it has Supercar performance and curb appeal and i would expect it to be more reliable and less expensive to maintain than a comparable Italian car. Also, I suspect that at 5 to 6 years old it should be leveling out on depreciation.
Thanks for listening to my rant... I maybe more or less working on the story I’m about to tell my wife... thanks again!
You have the first UA-cam channel I've ever seen that actually gave a legit reason to subscribe. So you can one day get a Audi r8. #Respect
Are you in the r8talk forum? Recognized my car with the front RS grille 😀
I subbed this is good information
Probably an Audi R8 V10 Plus preferably 2014, in Daytona gray pearl, with red seats, carbon fiber sideblade and green break calipers.
You sir have Ideal taste! That thing will be wicked!
I absolutely loved this video. #subbed
Suzuka Grey on Tuscan brown leather, 6spd manual V10, carbon sideblades, interior trim, engine covers. Any pre-facelift year, please. I'm actually in the market for one but holding out for the one I REALLY want. Plan on holding onto it for decades. I'm convinced the value of 1st gen manuals has bottomed out with it being one of the last of its kind(10+cyl with manual). You can name the others(post-2010) pretty easily(Viper, Vantage V12, what else?) . The design was ahead of its time and the exterior still looks "current" to this day. I actually prefer the Gen1 styling over the Gen2. Just transplant the Gen2 interior w/ virtual cockpit and this car would be perfect! Solid vid, man.
My man thank you for the support! I am RIGHT there with ya! Gen 1 V10 6 spd. Suzuka is absolutely stunning. It sorta looks white.. but it's grey! That on Tuscan... So much YES!
I agree with you. LP560's fit that catergory. Another car I'd have an eye out for would be an LP 550-2 6 spd. Again kind of a unicorn but definitely not going to go down much if at all, and has the opportunity to be a real winner. Throw an exhaust on your R when you get it and enjoy many miles of smiles! Thx for the comment! CheeRS!
@@IdealMediaChannel yup, those Gallardos count as well. That design hasn't aged very gracefully compared to the R8, esp when you park it next to a Huracan but it's all subjective.
Definitely will have some sort of valved exhaust whenever I feel like being a little extra exuberant! lol
crossphaded make sure you take it to a known Audi mechanic shop that is known for there week. There’s one in Utah. But, yeah.... I’d trust them with it day in and day out
I have an SQ5 SC wife's and B9 S4 and pretty satisfied. One day I will own an R8. Might own an RS7 before the R8 thought.
Nice! Both are Ideal Cars! Congrats on 2 quality cars... and one day you'll get in that R8! It's closer than you think :)
Had a v8 manual - amazing! Now have a v8 r tronic with custom TCU and ECU tunes. Actually much prefer the latter for every day use plus the gear changes sound insane with r tronic and straight pipes. Hope you get one soon!!
With the tunes they completely change the way the car drives! What made you go from the first R8 to the second?
And straight pipes on the v8 are a thing of beauty!
Tunes do make a big difference + if purchased from the right seller the tunes can be reused on any R8 / Gallardo (one at a time).
I totaled the first (like a banana).
You can hear it here too: ua-cam.com/video/-1qRIzw2XR4/v-deo.html
I"ve been debating on the tunes. Where did you get yours from, VF?
Tom Chase correct. Do a TCU tune first though
Just bought a V8 White deco and White/Burgundy leather and burgundy side blades 2009 with engine bay carbon pack. Exclusive badge on inside of doors suggest colour scheme is unique, at least in this region (UAE). Love it!!
I was looking at r8 because they look like a super car and they are very comfortable and have that famous all wheel drive so I just assumed that there is ridiculously fast so I started looking into them a while ago I knew that there was a V8version of the r8 I just assumed that that the 10 version would have like 100 more horsepower or something like that and it would be a little bit heavier but no the v 10 smokes the V8 and I would love getting the r8 but V8 versions just like an average car it’s not super fast it’s not super slow but The v10 has some very impressive numbers do you think and maybe a few years the price will go down more on the v10s
God I want to pick up the racquet and go hard again, should have never stopped playing tennis. I will never forget my first match against an opponent with a crazy intimidating serve, I was sure I was toast, hung in there long enough to see his accuracy faded quick until he had to give up the fastballs. Best win to date.
Haha yeah a lot of times they'll grind themselves down! Congrats on the win!
1st gen V10 in Ibis white with a 6 Speed gated manual, exposed carbon side blade, carbon interior, and carbon engine bay. Then whatever mods wheels, bags/coils, exhaust, Wing, and definitely a Gloss Black RS Mesh Grill. The perfect spec in my opinion. 1/28/19
Wow... Yeah that would def be Ideal!
The beginning of this video is the story of my UA-cam life also😓
Except I still work part time
Keep grinding! It'll happen. Just can't force it!
why part time?
I could totally agree with just about everything you had on this video with one exception.... The 2012 model year R8 GT. Yes it was limited in numbers and was available as either a coupe or Spyder BUT it came only in V-10 form with 560 HP right from the factory. It also had available the Carbon ceramic brakes along with all the Carbon Fiber you could want right from Audi. It ticked everything you you wanted in your ideal R8 except for the grille. It didn't have the leaky MR shocks either and was only available in the R Tronic. It does cost more then the rest of the Gen 1 cars but the price also seems to have stabilized and I doubt it will go down much further (It could actually start to climb) as so few were produced
Picking mine up today. Silver 2012 Spyder, manual, V8, carbon interior, 8500mi
Clickbait thumbnail pic and video title, has nothing to do with the video
I am looking to buy an R8, the changes by year and resell value were definitely helpful. It's not a stupid video telling you some nonsense. This is actually helpful for a serious buyer.
Thanks for watching!
I fricking love r8 I just like learning about them
True man... CLIIIIIKBAIIIIIIT~ 💩
I've been a subscriber forever! I clicked on this video and it told me to Subscribe to your channel, I was unsubscribed to your channel, WTH UA-cam. Love all your videos always, especially the honorable mention!
I want an R8, too. Subscribed to help you get closer to your dream
I just picked up a gated v10 and love it. If you need a car to review. Message me.
I bought the 2011 Audi R8 Spyder V10. I wanted a 2010 V10 coupe in Phantom Black Pearl. It was absolutely stunning looking, all blacked out carbon package, carbon wing, and the Audi circle emblems removed. The same thing happened to me, an all cash buyer swooped it up before I could secure financing. I'm happy with my R -tronic 6 speed spyder though. It's an adrenaline rush to drive.
will buy a 2010 v8 r tronic next month. same as you, getting a while with carbon fiber blades. change it to bc coilovers and replace it with oval tips. i will keep it till I die.
Currenly on the market for a Gen 1 (post facelift) V8 manual with black wheels and sideblades in sepang blue/ara blue. Black and blue does it for me, and post facelift since there's a LOT more standard equipment and they ironed out all the niggles with the first version by then!
Good call! I like your approach on purchasing your Ideal Car! The 14's and 15's are depreciating less than 9% YoY, which means with some good negotiation tactics you should easily be able to buy that car, enjoy it for a couple years and get out of it for roughly nothing.
I love cars like that, and that's why I call them Ideal Cars. Keep me posted on your search, and if you need any help/advice, feel free to reach out!
I love mine... its my "Friday car".. My M-Th car is an (modified) S3 that I really like and is just as quick, but no where near as special.
Wow A lot of them catch on fire here in South Africa.
What would you select nsx or R8?
R8!
I was thinking the same. 20 year technology vs newer technology and a V8 (my preferred engine).
2010 R8 or 2015 RS7?
for me, 2015 Audi R8 V10 plus in Panther Black (crystal) with a manual transmission, with the carbon package and diamond-stitched seats. I would wrap it Darius' Stacked Deck livery from Need for Speed Carbon and it would become an absolutely legendary ride
Found my 08 Rtronic in 2015, Msrp was 137k but price was sub 70s with 20k miles. No C.F. but has suede
I found an r8 v8 2011 manual in my area for 78k. Ehhh idk yet. Seems like something that would break down on me on a long road trip.
2011 V8 R8 + V10 carbon blade, suspension with front lift, VFR supercharger, exhaust, prior design body kit, carbon steering wheel, swap out seats, Matt black and gloss black paint combo, interior carbon + Alcántara headliner.
Wild,haha I clicked video bc I designed the one in thumbnail XD i thought i was gonna get to see it again!
I'm about buying R8 - my spec is V10 with manual gearbox, color really doesnt matter - I will wrap it. Interior black with carbon package. I will also probably add regula body kit
I like your outlook on wrapping it so it doesn't really matter what color it is. Honestly you can probably sell it wrapped too, and no one will really care. People are a lot more open these days to buying a wrapped car.
exactly, as you said. the only one thing I’m not sure about is manual gearbox - do you think it is a good option for such as powerful engine? I’ m worring about clutch. maybe dual clutch is better for V10.
Where is the burning r8?
Oh so my dads planning on getting one soon, spec would be. Graphite grey with the red on black interior with the wingback seats. Full Bang and Ollusun stereo. Full carbon package. Manual of course with a carbon build up clean, remap and exhaust then 620 hp
Oh and some mad BBS or HRE wheels or sommin
Now that is an IDEAL Car! What year is he lookin to pick up?
Ideal Cars not really too fussed tbh as long as it’s a manual coupe then we’re happy. They’re about 55k in the uk which seems a bargain to me
I had the R-tronic, V8, worst transmission in the history of transmissions, made the car almost undriveable! Had huge buyers remorse, despite a test drive, where I think the car I drove was S-tronic and I did not due my due diligence! The air con failed (known problem) so you MUST have extended warranty, the best thing was, I bnought it second hand, kept it 4 years and it only lost about 35K$ that sounds like a lot but when you take the total cost of the car new (130) it was not too bad and I got to drive a super car for 4 years.
v8 manual. great video. in the market soon
Thanks! more to come! Appreciate the support!
Come watch my review of the Audi R8 Competition! It was basically like the R8 GT but better 👍. My ideal would R8 would be a R8 Competition in a Misano red
Ideal Bang-for-Buck Spec: 2016 V10 non-Plus. Discounted because its warranty just expired. Owned by a little old lady that only drove it to church on Sundays. Mods include VF800 Supercharger+tune, Nardo Gray, black pack trim. Alternative: All of the above. Delete Supercharger. Keep reversible VF tune. Within warranty.
I’d like it as a gen 1 spyder, in black metallic, with red-leather seats, with an s-tronic gearbox with the 5.2 V10
I'd have an Audi R8 V10 6 speed manual with the special interior
Only a few people/channels that I'll let skippable ads play through and click the ad. Get that R8 w/ a plate that says Adcents :P
Ideal spec for me is just a V8 R8 w/ gated manual, cuz it's the only one I'd ever be able to afford and thats still questionable lol
haha the vanity plate is pure gold! I agree the v8 r8 w a manaul would be a great spec! Definitely one that you could hold onto and drive for a while, and most likely brake even. They've proven quite reliable as well! I have a buddy that's put over 40k on it in the past 2 years. Besides normal wear and tear items the car has been rock solid!
@@IdealMediaChannel yeah and for me personally i began to view the R8 V8 especially as the only NSX successor we would likely ever get, I didn't know that Honda would kill/restart its development enough times that we'd get a appliance that shared the nameplate alone.
Anyway so I view the V8 R8 w/gated 6 speed as pretty damn close to what the V8 NSX asucessor would've been had it not been killed after the downturn.
Got to hold out and get the S Tronic and avoid the R at all cost, huge difference in performance...2013/14/15 will be the most collectible of the 2008-2015 series...v10 due to not having to pull out the engine to fix the Air Con they tend to have problems with and change the shocks....
2014 manual, white Spyder
Id just love a supercar Spyder, closest thing to riding a bike, beautiful car
That Federer racquet tho. 👌
Yup! Played on the lower level of atp tour for 18 months. That’s one of Feds actual rackets. Over 14 oz’s!
Manual of course. Either ibis white or just brilliant black !
I just like Audi's white because its so.... white! But black looks sinister. I don't think you can go wrong with either Ideal color!
The v8 honestly sounds better than the v10 imo
Do you have instagram?
Yeah it’s @idealcarstv
I own an S8 plus now. What an incredible car. Always loved the R8 but now I hate that they removed the side blades. I am in search of a supercar now. Looking at a McLaren 520 Spyder or maybe even an R8. I think in the Northeast a Lamborghini or Ferrari is too much. Also trying to figure how to buy this level car without making a mistake. I know how to deal but you make a very valid point on when to buy and sell these cars and not get hurt. Any insight would be great. Great channel
Gonna save this so I can come back next year when I'm buying my r8😈
Did you end up buying one?
Please do a video on the new R8😊
You got it!
R8 is one of those special cars you hold on to for life through thick and thin.
Buy an early 2008/9 one. Iconic look, not spoilt, as the later models are with manual gate. The V8 is a wonderful engine, and for most its all you'll need, power-wise, the V10 is more powerful obviously, but you cant really get to explore those power levels, 80% of the time, and its probably more fun just to push the V8 to 7500 revs or so. Only thing that is essential s an aftermarket exhaust, as the sound of the stock exhaust is not in the least exciting.
The V8 had 430hk before the S-tronic gearbox came. At least in mine v8 from 2011 have 430hk.
Otherwise, thanks for good video.
will likely never have 200k laying around for it, i did do short term rentals on Lamborghini Gallard & enjoyed that tho
One day my man... One day!
bro dont be the guy buying it for 200k be the guy buying it for 55k with 25k miles on it JS!
19 about to buy my first car gunna make it the r8
here is my sub for you. go get R8 bro
I need a few more and I will! Appreciate the support my man!
We have the same dream ❤️❤️
It's only a dream until it becomes a reality!
woah dude so many wrong infos..
First R8 2007
Legendary Quattro Allwheel Drive System: Wrong, its the Lamborghini Gallardo Visco technology
Carbon Options: Sideblade,Interior, Engine Bay
2009 it was a big facelift. Full Led Headlights, new electronic system (bcm replaced confort and central electrics), Black Displays, electric Engine opener, engine window heater
2010 audi takes the engine from an lamborghine: wrong! the 5.2 fsi was always an Audi Engine
2014-2015: S Tronic was already avaible in 2013
ceramic brakes was always an option since 1/2008
VW / AUDI owns Lamborghini .... so yes Audi quattro and yes the 5.2l was made for the Lamborghini.
With 6 speed manual v10 gated
V10, manual, black, Alcantara seats/interior (black) Black wheels.. murder whip! Lol
We need to get you into your Ideal Car! bit.ly/IdealCarStrategies130
Why the fuck do you have only 11k subscribers? Your videos are so informative. I’m watching because you have year by year breakdowns. Good luck bro.
2015 r8 v10 plus !! Ideal
nice b5 s4 on your monitor
haha great spot! yeah that thing was a reliability nightmare :( but quite fast!
He's not lying LOL. I own one.
I’m about to get $1,000,000 + lawsuit settlement and I been searching for a nice used supercar , was definitely leaning towards a 911 turbo manual over the R8 v10 manual , I like the Nismo speed but not the look 👀, Lamborghini and Ferrari to damn expensive 🥴 I’m just looking for something around $50k max with low miles to park at the drive through man cave / garage 😆
Estoril blue with the black optics package and carbon side blades. Trust me ;)
Ideal.. except isn’t Estoril the Bmw color?
@@IdealMediaChannel also used by Audi. I think the full name is "Estoril Blue Crystal Effect" on the window sticker.
Didn’t know that! I was looking at an ibis White last year. What years did estoril come in? It’s my favorite blue... 😎
@@IdealMediaChannelI think it became available with the facelift, wasn't my first choice but I can't imagine any other color now.
Agreed! Thx for the info!
In the market for a gen 1 and all I gotta say is don’t trust these dealers when they say the vehicle has a clean carfax .. car I almost decided to move forward with had close to 28k in maintenance that it needed 😒
جزاكم الله خيرا
Why he sell his car
A lot of friends that went from GTR's to 1st gen R8's quickly sold the R8. they said that the car is just downright boring compared to the GTR. I was thinking about purchasing an R8 but decided to keep my GTR instead.
yeah, not the same kind of thing at all. GTR definitely goes harder, but its clumsier, heavier etc... All depends on the experience you want. You can Turbo the Audi, but you can't make the GTR svelte, delicate and pretty ;)
A 2010 with V10, 6speed, body color side blades, coil springs, and a front license plate holder for my trump 2020 plate.......
“The R tronic transmission is magical”??? “Extremely easy to drive around town” I couldn’t disagree with you more. It’s literally the worst transmission I have ever used. It lurches and thuds with every shift. It can never quite get the right gear, it was just underdeveloped for its time. I’ll agree it helps to just floor it everywhere but man I’ve never heard an owner say it was good. Get the manual or save up for the S Tronic and avoid the R at all cost. Other than that, I agree with everything else you said, great video!
Lol. I think it’s pretty easy to use if you work the gas pedal correctly and shift manually. It’s just a learning curve. It’s a bit annoying at first but quickly picked up if you’re a car guy.
I didn’t want the manual I chose the rtronic purposefully
But there reliable compared to other sports cars.
This guy wants one real bad
I actually want an r8 and put a stark industries banner on it
I’m probably buying a Audi R8 in like 5 or 4 years I’m buying a Audi TT for now :)
Buying myself Audi R8 in 2020🤪
Good luck
Ayy how did it go??
Iwas thinking that 🤣. Strangely picking one up on saturday
Clickbate thumbnail, just waffle, 1st and last time I watch your channel. You forgot to tell us the wheels were round.
your racket needs restringing.
Haha... yeah. Fortunately I was sponsored back in the day so I have plenty more :)
