Thanks for the comment. Yes it was a nice jump for me car wise. I’ve always wanted an R8 since the car came out. Back then it was the V8. Glad to be an owner of a V10 R8 now. Thanks again for watching. I’ll be making another video on the car itself shortly. Cheers!
Hello Pat! Thank you for all your help with the i8. You helped me out when it was figuring out the AC compressor. So grateful. The R8 has definitely added smiles. A different animal than the i8 was. My i8 had just run out of warranty and everything was good. I didn't want to wait for something expensive to fail. I definitely considered the GT3. My friend owns several Porsche's and said the GT3 was the car to get. He has a 997 GT3 and a 992 due for delivery early next year. The GT3 prices are extremely elevated. As it is I ended up paying more than sticker for the R8. It's the whole market. Are you getting a GT3?
@@ngl1145 lots of great cars and they're all overpriced. Glad you are enjoying those R8 sounds and driving experience! I don't think I'll get a GT3 but a GT4 may be in my future.
I find it funny with all the environmental issues being forced on us, your ditching the eco friendly hybrid sports car for a gas guzzling V10 monster haha.
I did have the hybrid for about 5 years now. It was great and definitely more eco. With all the auto manufacturers moving towards the electric side of things, I wanted to be able to truly appreciate one of the last internal combustion engines that is great. There will be the era where gas powered cars are a thing of the past, I'm just not ready to let go of that just yet. Eventually we won't have the choice and electric will be the dominant means for power. Some of the electric cars are very fast... speed isn't everything. Even BMW i4 commercials seemed non emotional to me. Starting the R8 on the other hand gets my adrenaline going.
@@ngl1145 Oh absolutely, by the time your son can drive he won't, because it will all be boring electric self driving cars everywhere.. totally agree with enjoy it whilst you can, before they ban all combustion engines for good.
I'm sorry to see it go. It's an amazing ride and it really has represented our group so well with your coverage.
Alex feels excited to see this R8 arrive
Congratulations on unlocking an AudiR8
Great video that’s a big jump 👏👏🙌

I like the i8, the R8 is sure to add more smiles but that GT3 is the bomb. When the R8 goes up in value in 2 months, go trade it in for the GT3. 😂😂
