Seeing OY07MHL back in TopGear test track felt nostalgic. Now all we need is... I don't know, Alex with a 997.1 Carrera S? Also, OY07MHL was once stricken off Audi's press fleet and got sold. Audi UK themselves admit it was a mistake not to keep an R8 V8 on their historic fleet. But then they found OY07MHL up for sale and bought it back... in a sorry state. Heritage division spent 13 months restoring it and recommissioning it as their fleet until today. Also also you can get manual R8 V10. Will cost you something like GBP50-70k depending on the condition. Get the early V10 manual, you'll be mesmerised by just how good the R8 V10 manual is. Beautiful steering, beautiful balance, fantastic engine and gearbox, and properly usable for everyday stuffs.

The prices quoted here are incredibly misleading. 25k will get you into a high miles catagorised V8 that will need 10k+ to put in acceptable condition. Likewise with the V10. 40k buys you bottom of the barrel that will also need 5 figures invested to put right. Also the LMX you're driving will be more than double the price to get into. The gen1 V10 was available with a manual in all trims except for the GT (rtronic) and the LMX (stronic). Shame the researchers let this video down as the content is pretty good aside from those points.

For me, the MK1 R8 was the most interesting because of the design, since it contrasted the hard geometric lines of Lamborghini. When the R8 design was also changed to be hard & geometric, it came much closer to the Huracan and in the end, it seemed to be a budget calculation to decide between both.

Plenty of good examples around too, love the way that nearly all of the ones advertised have been well looked after by mature drivers. Has to be Sepang blue, non DRC, pan roof, RS exhaust and supersport seats for me and thankfully there are still some nice low mileage minters to choose from with those options. Roll on the spring!

The R8 is the first series-production car to offer the option of ordering all the headlight functions - dipped beam, main beam, daytime running lights and indicators - as LEDs. LED stands for 'light-emitting diodes', and represents a technology which offers substantial advantages over conventional bulbs based on a much longer life. Because they take up less space than conventional lights, LEDs provide the designers with greater freedom to be creative. The design of the strikingly three-dimensional main headlights, using LED technology, is particularly eye-catching". So yeah, groundbreaking for the time period.
