I think Audi R8's look nicer than some Lamborghini's

[@angeldustfather]

You're absolutely right!

[@jackcampbell2085]

Spider man some just some

[@uusername7454]

I'm certain of it.

[@jamess9939]

The r8 are more rounded and Lamborghinis more angular. It’s personal preference really

[@MrYeezy77]

You make me want an R8 so bad

[@Djordymans]

Yeezy Yeezy i allways wanted a R8 so bad that this vid didnt do anything for me XD

[@uusername7454]

You should!

[@jasontieu3737]

Love watching your videos. I've been in love with the R8 since it's been introduced. Still saving but hopefully in the next year I will have enough to get my own!

[@M_DanielNY]

Audi always comes out with awesome new lights

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

xDark NY yeah i have to agree they have the most killer lights compared to any other brand.

[@bradmurphy2157]

ED kratos The Xenon lights on Audi's are the best on any car!

[@AliveGhost13]

xDark NY Yes, especially the new Matrix LEDs (got them on my A8)

[@skyfly107]

I love the indicators aswell

[@ScottPC]

Hahah yeah because somone who plays mine craft has A8..

[@kevinwheels273]

That car sounds like a beast. Great review btw. I really like that you already own an R8 so you can give your thoughts and detail little differences between your R8 and this one. Bang on. Liked and subscribed.

[@ChroniclesofLifeAM]

Great video as always! Can't wait to see what your next car is going to be.

[@aljack1979]

I prefer this shape to the new Shape. This will be a true classic 😊

[@marydowling6092]

Paul in your vlogs can you tell us how much the car costs if it is like the v10

[@waynefilkins8394]

someone should make a glass convertible cover, not the top but you know the cover that lifts up to store the top. Would you be able to see the engine like on the coupe or does the top get in the way when stored? I just really wish the convertible had the glass engine display that shit's so cool like in Iron Man (on the coupe)

[@BARATTI99]

I really enjoyed this video!! Thanks. Keep it up

[@JSRCars]

So much better looking than the new R8.

[@kevinanzhari]

True

[@matthewh630]

So true

[@paolowolfart2847]

True, new r8 is bullshit

[@timmmobile187]

AGREE!!! Wouldn´t change my V10 Gen1 for the new one - NEVER

[@sugarsaint]

Paul double yellows !! DOUBLE YELLOWS MY GAWD !

[@Djordymans]

you cant drive in sport mode with automatic gear? or did i not understand it right?

[@seanhughes715]

Agree with you don't need a convertible in the uk but that v10 is just epic !!!

[@TomChopper]

To fully turn off any kind of assistance (ESP/ASR) you have to press the esp button for 10 seconds, then it'll show "ESP/ASR OFF", only then the car comes alive

[@laytonsri150]

Imagine it with the Armytrix exhaust fitted :)

[@unclewilliamderek]

Are these videos of the R8 V10 Spyder coming out in reverse order???

[@Psgamer-vu2hp]

In the new audi's you have to press it for 10 sec like not just a press thats when its all of bc i had an 2006 audi a6 and when you oressed the esp off it went off in my new audi a6 2014 you have to keep it 15 sec

[@itsadamoc]

I do think you nailed it with your conclusion.

[@alishaid673]

How much is the running costs

[@kyag23]

casually parking on double yellows

[@Contresenss]

R8's are only going to get better :D

[@stratotonefm]

how does a audi press car not have parking sensors?!

[@tonys860]

How do you get your hair like that? What is it called

[@netweed09]

What has happened to the *noise*???! Has the engine noise on video been muted quite a bit for licensing purposes?

[@joedelancia5134]

Loving this vlog

[@dannywilson2886]

I drive an R8 which was booked into my garage for work on tyres. Very very special car.

[@rihannasurive35]

This hell of a car can move... it's so good I didn't know until I buyed one

[@ferrariali8378]

you take the transaction control of the start sideling

[@timmmobile187]

Love the 1st Gen V10 like crazy - even with the R-Tronic (okay - one has to know HOW to use it 🙂 )

[@sirgrumpy1742]

Loving that v10 Spyder! Dam!

[@alexharringtonmusic]

Sir Grumpy Hey man I watch your videos! Love it

[@sirgrumpy1742]

Alex Harrington So you're the one! Haha thanks I appreciate it!

[@sirgrumpy1742]

[@sirgrumpy1742]

Why is that

[@lewiehope201]

Love the R8

[@dzauner]

Nice review m8 😊

[@guillermog981]

The best thing for me the AWESOME DOWNSHIFTS!!

[@skyfly107]

I really do like the Audi interiors shame about the outside of the lower price bracket audis obv this is sweet

[@cyberfunk9629]

Wait wat? Audi Navigation plus? Isnt that like 2008?

[@owen100401]

Fantastic car

[@frankjaeger3268]

Considered a Top Gear audition? I reckon you should go for it ;)

[@fangchin72]

Nice car to drive round watford, I want one.

[@AbbeRustMojo]

[@ThatRunningGuy]

[@Pehaa1]

[@waynerooney1765]

Love watching sportscarsoflondon

[@uusername7454]

. . .

[@TTS-Freunde]

Do more sound clips. :)

[@mshah8888]

Nice car

[@manny66693]

Is this stock?

[@UKRR]

like your vids but if you are going to give a car like that some welly then please find some quiet roads out of town

[@jink6091]

Convertible messes up the boy band hair too much?

[@StuartBuckellUK]

Living in a place where it's regularly 35-40c, convertibles are not great here (I have one). You get burnt and the interior gets ruined. Convertibles are best when it's 15-25c.

[@wilsonsou3540]

So thas is your new car?

[@Olafm]

Armytrix??

[@user-el2zj3pw5r]

People are very wrong to believe sunny days are best for convertible , warm and cloudy much better days

[@Luckyjo21]

Is Audi the only car u drive?

[@XxN24xX]

nice

[@brightbluesmurf]

Tut tut. Sure some of those roads were max 30/40 mph where it's being gunned.

[@uusername7454]

My oh my.

[@user-it2gx4cr1k]

7:28 'This car is very powerful' No Shit.

[@FlyRenegade_]

I've been wondering for ages who it is that he looks like and I've finally figured it out - Ragnor Lothbrok!

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

here come the Manual ricers telling how much Automatic sucks.

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

***** oh please dont say that manual ricers will eat you alive and tell you how much a manual requires more skill and gives you more feeling, like only ricers would say that. After 6 years of driving stick i am done with it way to easy and old tech. paddles are the way to have full control over a car.

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

***** they try to be exclusive thats why they pref driving stick to stand out abit i find that a stupid ass reason cause stick slows me down i know how to power shift like a idiot but it screws me over when i compare it to my GTR i just destroy the road.

[@BalkanBoyBiH]

***** it would make me compleet nuts i hate stick atm, i live in amsterdam always traffic and people that cant drive for shit accerlating like a snail atleast in automatic i am far less stressed about that fact sinds i can relax more. and a 430d is damn quick aswell love powerfull diesels ill maybe get a audi a7 3.0 tdi after holiday :)

[@loicmartel656]

ED kratos HAHAHA NISSAN DRIVER WHAT A WASTE

[@luciantruscott8528]

ED kratos lol 'manual ricers' sure ok. I am not taking sides on which is better because they BOTH have their advantages in different situations. Like stick gets better gas mileage, as well as they are usually cheaper than automatics becuase not so many people know how to drive stick anymore. But then the automatic side has advantages such as its easier for any person to hop in the drivers seat and go. And you dont risk stalling out. But, even if you dont drive stick you should know how because you never know when you might have to drive a stick car, say to take someone to the hostpial.

[@johnd8322]

How are you "not keen" on convertibles? Who doesn't like putting down the top on a nice Fall day?

[@ozzzz1994]

You dont get a nice weather down london

[@tigerpaws77]

you parked on double yellows on a single carriage road...not very smart.

[@typhoonmatt1]

And on the wrong side

[@stanleys.5853]

Hah my like just changed the 999 like to 1k B-) cheers. I swear Paul Wallace is teasing me to get an Audi R8. Almost did yesterday pre owned 2009 V8 6k ru. Color dark grey with beige leathers.

[@sahmedt9]

@2.13 fabric hardtop. Ha

[@Gibson4ever13]

You are not a fan of convertibles?? Didn't know that ;)

[@farisselimovic4614]

Next car paul!!

[@DrivingForcePower]

Valve Ten

[@kingwolf8498]

try to do a top speed for ur car

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Dude you're blocking the road lol

[@teamigofficial2359]

I think that's a parking spot though?

[@Decaake07]

Them downshifts tho

[@MrGreezersChumb]

can someone explain to me shift paddles? why do some auto cars have them

[@Mikikorcz]

So you can change gears without having to move the shifter knob to the right. You may want to downshift before an overtake for example and paddle shifters allow for that to happen quicker

[@MrGreezersChumb]

but if its an automatic, wouldnt it do it automatically?

[@Mikikorcz]

it might, but it would be much slower than you doing it manualy

[@MrGreezersChumb]

well i don't know, that's why i asked about them. Mikikorcz explained it well

[@nuclear5300]

+MrGreezersChumb In automatic cars you have the option of driving it in manual and automatic, if you choose manual you use the shifters, if you choose automatic, the shifters are disabled so you dont need to shift anymore

[@sahmedt9]

@2:13

[@carllewis4386]

What's a hoon??

[@alishaid673]

I like this Audi r8 is a animal

[@gunner98uk46]

It's 2013 model Audi R8 v10

[@notdescribed]

I like that red soft top.

[@johnnyvudu]

notdescribed might be just me but the convertible is not only horrible for continuing the line flow but the red takes the cake for making it all horrendeous.

[@teamigofficial2359]

I don't like it just my opinion

[@mostirreverent]

The top should be down 95% of the time. Yeah, the blinkers are cool, unless you want someone to actually know where/when you are turning. Absolutely hate the electronic dash! Nicer cockpit than the lambo

[@Perkssssssss]

Race whit friends RS7:))

[@ianmezar2450]

base price US$129, 000.00

[@gkishore3]

150000 on taxes there I guess here it is 600k

[@alexgriffiths3111]

Why does Audi keep giving you new cars to drive?

[@mclovin5824]

Buy it

[@Captainrave]

Didn't like convertibles? You can't beat them with a big loud engine and your foot right down.

[@SamsungizAmazing]

No parking sensors. Why!?!?

[@CalSuthy]

😤

[@gkishore3]

the car is small is fuck why need parking sensor its not a mercedes Benz maybach to have a parking sensor

[@SamsungizAmazing]

But with a car like that you'd expect parking sensors... Wouldn't want to try and reverse out of a parking space at a supermarket without parking sensors. Just stupid...

[@josuekna9130]

you get to drive evry

[@deldia]

Not sure about parking there...

[@netweed09]

driving a V10 convertible was a fear? ?

[@conandoyle1740]

Paul should test a Nismo R35 with exhaust. Feels about twice as fast as This R8 and slightly faster than a huracan.

[@iashzxx6277]

So is that gonna be his new car....?

[@FuckKraZeD]

No hes getting a Nissan Micra GTR Turbo s V-Spec lowered blacked out in baby blue.

[@konstantinos1992ful]

***** how you black something out in baby blue ?

[@donquias903]

i am fan of ankle if you have to ask....

[@iud9476]

i am fan of ankle Blacked (slang) is used as a verb here

[@konstantinos1992ful]

Iftikhar Uddin still it doesnt makes sence

[@bradleyparkinson4525]

Ain't it got any more horsepower? and why don't you get the Lamborghini gallardo lp570-4 one beast of a car

[@dlg78]

Bradley Parkinson it will do 600 with a remap. Problem with the gallardos is they have the old clunky robotised semi automatic, it's rubbish.

[@brando1575]

dang I have the same car! ..... in gta5

[@josuekna9130]

day

[@MultiLuc28]

Your next car: Lamborghini gallardo (spyder) performante

[@NAKDTV]

My name is Tyler McCann and I will be an Audi R8 owner one day. this shall serve as an extension toy daily affirmations. -Tyler

[@SupercarTorqueOfficial]

This or a GTR?

[@abxian4429]

gtr save money and use it to upgrade performance and other things gtr

[@SupercarTorqueOfficial]

+Aaron Chandra GTR is in right now being taken to 650bhp 🙄

[@abxian4429]

***** i really hope they give it over 700hp and top speed is over 220

[@SupercarTorqueOfficial]

+Aaron Chandra they won't get it to that bhp with the modifications I'm doing and even at 700bhp I don't think it would hit over 220mph

[@abxian4429]

Well atleast they could try to give that much power in the nismo

[@paolowolfart2847]

dude, the steering wheel is on the wrong side

[@bradleyrichards325]

It's not

[@paolowolfart2847]

Bradley Richards It is.

[@luciantruscott8528]

I think that the convertible versions of the R8, Gallardo, and 350z all look rather ugly compared to their non convertible counter parts. The top just gets cut short because it must be able to fold back, which then makes the cockpit look very small and the part where it folds back is just blank. Much rather own the non spyder version.

[@adamfry1125]

Terrible parking, can't be bothered to read the size of the wheels of the tyres. Not terribly well informed our knowledgeable.
