Audi R8 POV Drive

[@GreatToastMigration]

Holy cow, the sound it makes when you change gears is amazing. It sounds like you're locking a vault.

[@KartKing4ever]

Loving the manual transmission. The real way to drive a V8.

[@rickycheng5158]

Issa V10 bruc

[@arkhamlegend786]

@@rickycheng5158 No this is an R8 V8. Not R8 v10. This one is the base model. The V10 was launched 3 years after the original R8.

[@Appleguy2456]

more cars need to have a gated metal gearbox. sounds so beautiful

[@teenagecarlover1567]

That’s my favorite manual gearbox😏

[@valpodesideromontoya2097]

He drove that r8 straight to heaven. Rest in v8 sound, Robert

[@at8000rpm]

RIP Rob, Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@EagleLogic]

At8000RPM Pardon my ignorance, did the man driving this vehicle pass away? What happened?

[@at8000rpm]

EagleLogic Robert Himler died of cancer earlier this year. And no, you are not being ignorant haha

[@iiax5914]

Did he really?

[@ahmedalazzawi5126]

II Ax Yes he did :( RIP Rob

[@alexyiu8028]

That changing gear sound...just perfect... Who need automatic transmission? Not for me.

[@jjjaaaabroni]

RIP buddy. You will be missed.

[@JohnSmith-rx2nd]

What happened?

[@jjjaaaabroni]

He died of cancer

[@JohnSmith-rx2nd]

Oh my god. Thats awful :( May he rest in peace. I hope Amy is ok too

[@ToastToGo]

+John Smith She is hurting, but coping and thriving in her career.

[@European_carclub]

may he rest in peace.

[@seanbowers1076]

Shifting in the R8 sounds so sexy

[@kingofjuke7]

I'm literally crying as I watch this video. I want an Audi R8 so bad!!! Oh well, better get to saving.

[@jordanl5064]

Lmao. There's no "saving" for a car like Audi R8. Wtf

[@kingofjuke7]

Never say never. Anything is possible.

[@ivanmanzanares9551]

+Jo Sward I very much agree with you. anything is possible.

[@thehuntingfishingtv15]

+Jo Sward hhaha i feel you!

[@oscarericsson8300]

Jake is right, you don't save for an R8. They are quite cheap

[@ambassadorgrey1312]

The gated shifter is just perfect. Do not get me wrong, the technology with S-tronic is ultra awesome too, but for the person who love the traditional manner of shifting, this car is a true beast. You can buy a used one for around 100k. For the average employee, a daunting sum, but I believe that I can afford this car one day. None the less, this man, even if he has passed, was a wonderful shifter! Well done with displaying the harmony of this cars gear box and engine.

[@MrZzK4M1K4zZ3zZ]

That's the way you should drive a car, with a manual gearbox !

[@totallywinningprogamer9860]

And Open gated!

[@abuhassanabo]

I would prefer this car automatic with paddles

[@RSR012]

BOOOOOO. Jokes aside, it's all about preference.

[@saauvikdas7346]

come to my place , i 'd prefer a manual anyday , my left foot is strong enough unlike yours :P

[@saauvikdas7346]

Top Dog try uttering this shit in my place n you're dead 😝 I will still drive a manly manual 🙄 when both my legs coordinate , just like a bike where my hands do the job 😰 you surely miss all the fun not driving a manual 😲

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Really cool video! Love the beginning, the new warehouse looks epic! And your shifting is very fast and precise!

[@andrewgventura]

Miss you Rob. Thanks for being an inspiration.

[@AHumanButcher]

I totally want this car. Always have and always will. Audi, don't change a thing about this car.

[@sinoperture]

Yeah - after 6 months now with the tiptronic in my TTS - it is the way to go. Keep hands on the wheel, perfect rev matching, instant changes. Then again those gated boxes sound cool too. I just can't get over the fugly colour choice of the seats though.

[@intrepidtwanks]

love that sound of rowing through a gated 6 speed

[@stangposse]

i love how this dude likes to bang his own gears. His R8 and Gallardo are true manual transmissions. He knows whats up!

[@Vikturus22]

This is one of my most wanted cars. I currently have a Audi a6 C6 4.2fsi and want this

[@sparrow2a]

I absolutely agree with that,the r8 is the only super car that keep the manual gear box.Its amazing. There is no comparison with the automatics

[@matthutsonn]

Gear changes look so smooth and quick!!

[@DoctaM3]

Looks great.. felt like I was driving.. cool intro.

[@TeamEpsilonRacing]

I saw a review of the Manual R8 awhile ago claiming that the shifts were like reloading a 9mm.... i think they were right that sounds so sick!!!!!!!!!!

[@Affensteiss]

Schönes knackiges Video. Keine dumme Musik im Hintergrund, eine ruhige feste Cameraeinstellung, dazu mit Weitwinkel - sehr schön :-)

[@alpatec2555]

im a bmw guy, but this car just seems like perfection, super build qaulity, style, great sound and a gated 6 speed wow

[@TranceFur]

Ahhhh, finally, some more quality video from you.

[@CarKid14]

love that 2nd shot very professional

[@go0gzg598]

makes me happy to know you own all of your supercars with a manual gearbox

[@shoaibtuber]

Your directorial skills have improved tremendously Robert. Good stuff.

[@TheNonstopTrigger]

Well yeah the driver "blips" the throttle so he can smoothly transition to a lower gear. Usually heel toe is used for performance driving. It's really handy to learn this method plus it makes the already enjoyable driving experience of a stick shift even better

[@daysofseptember]

I love the lead up to the actual video! very nice touch!

[@Beolex]

A Prius doesn't have a second gear, so-to-speak. It has a continuously-variable transmission. The Audi R8 has a 6-speed manual (or 6-speed automated manual). The 2013 also has a 7-speed dual clutch automated manual gearbox.

[@tylerhilligoss]

Lovely video and a great POV. One tip, though: I'd recommend putting your hand back on the wheel between shifts. While it can technically be bad for the transmission, it is more of a finesse/control thing and generally expected amongst car enthusiasts. Keep the videos coming!

[@chrisj881]

Nothing sweeter than the sound of the actual gear change, metal to metal:)

[@EnjoyTheSilenc3]

i love the f1 lights in the beginning.

[@JaredRouse8465]

This my favorite Audi 😃. The v8 audi r8 just sounds so nice!

[@Kaipeternicolas]

@Josh1901 absolutely agree. I have driven both too and the V8 sounds really good but the 10 is just a lot faster. Best is to modify the V8 version.

[@Loadedskate]

make more videos like this. so amazing Robert. I love the R8, different to the lambo in unique ways ...

[@amritg187]

@SpyOpz94 you can shift however you want longer shift: higher top speed Short shifts: Faster Acceleration, you cant say someones shifting early its all upto the person.

[@mostcallmerob]

the way the camera is positioned I feel like I need to keep scrolling up on the screen haha awesome video man.

[@Brenby]

I like it how you stay true to the stick and clutch! Keep them videos coming. :)

[@randompplallaround77]

love that shifter.

[@LoRDSMiZ]

Robert is a website entrepreneur. He most recently launched Razzi, but has his hand almost everywhere in the online business market.

[@jckstein]

@Kaipeternicolas I redline that all the time, but it's in a bit of a different realm than the R8. I don't know what you're hating on my car though, thats not quite related to this video. It happens to be a great car, and i'm very thankful to have it as a first car.

[@jordanmorin1937]

I was inside a r8 before. It was black, carbon fiber side strip v8 and 6speed gated manual

[@Guml8all]

More of these videos please! They're amazing and make me dream :P

[@Leoo2211]

Manual R8 !!! Awesome!

[@iTzLuPo]

@RobertHimler Was this shot in Florida? This looks pretty familiar to me and I've seen a white Audi R8 in town recently ?!

[@flychico]

that sound is amazing!!!

[@Kinglew23]

Best ride ive had this week lol good shit homie!

[@oscardominguez1680]

Rest in Peace.

[@sandpeopleaway]

@SHOCKandAWE01 I'm aware he's shifting... but just take 1:20-1:30 for example 3rd to 5th gear he is having his hand on the shifter the whole times. Ten seconds at high speeds with one hand on the wheel. Requires more caution, especially in public.

[@Ibrahim24be]

Dude, you drive sick!! And that with a manual gear box, awesome videos!

[@jckstein]

@SpyOpz94 No such thing as shifting early.. it's manual, you shift when you want.

[@NickGallardo520]

freakin beautiful again, another awesome video

[@anonymousstormchaser]

What an awesome manual gearbox!

[@MineCraftFilms]

@Dkhan23 surgeon, obviously, although doctors still make more in the US than dentists. The average dentist makes 80-100k per year, while a doctor making 150-200k if they're busy a lot. A surgeon makes about 250-500k per year depending on what they specialize in.

[@deepoceanfan]

The Audi R8. The only car that makes a good sound other than its engine. *CRUNCH* Fappity Fappity Fappity *CRUNCH* Fappity Fappity...

[@GiveMeABloodyUser]

lol

[@lazebase5074]

That Escalade on 3:17 wasn't bad either! :D

[@rideredallday]

sweet production quality

[@NYCaddicted]

That is some epic camera work, right there, awesome :O Love the video +1 and fave ;-)

[@AkiraSRT9]

Awesome ride, very jealous, love the vid!

[@joshuamireles1791]

just got this car i love it.

[@phazi0]

I love that you drive cars with stick shifting instead of those paddle shifters..

[@munchman3]

Beginning is like a really cool video game or something!

[@SHOCKandAWE01]

@sandpeopleaway He's shifting. Also, he does end up putting his other hand back on the wheel.

[@rajdhaliwal]

Love the POV.

[@jmRse1]

we love POVs

[@VicVoss]

I really liked the intro, keep them coming :)

[@2thermal]

Love the R8!! and i really like the fact that both of your supercars have a real manual tranny and not some flappy paddle automatic, but this has got to feel like driving a VW polo compared to your beast gallardo:P

[@MobWithGuns]

looks like the windermere area, that wall and gate near the end look familiar

[@Kaipeternicolas]

@jckstein oh and I agree. I wouldn't redline the old 325 as well... I wouldn't even try drifting it.

[@Echelon31]

How awesome is this car with the manual gearbox

[@comarnicolodi]

very well produced man, gratz

[@MrVictorPrez94]

thats an awsome garage opener

[@FSUBestPker]

I love these POV drives! How do you do it? GoPro?

[@JMcKaySV]

@iCureBoredom247 The first Audi R8 model was a V8, they then produced a more powerful V10 model using the V10 from a Lamborghini

[@mikecoleman4927]

@SpyOpz94 Shifting early is not the sign of a bad driver, just a sensible one. When you get an R8 you can write it off trying to redline it if you like pal.

[@petrokistan9165]

Love the Audemars Piguet Offshore Royal Oak ; )

[@CrysisMachinima]

Man, I would LOVE to drive some of these cars on these American roads. Unlike here, there seems to be tons of room, almost no traffic, and a distinct lack of a bored cop every 1 km.

[@shoaibtuber]

0:20. That sold me. My first supercar is gonna be an R8.

[@DirtyonXBL]

This is such a sick vid! :)

[@Skandoro]

shifting like a boss

[@JonnyRend]

@JamesMayTheStig It's funny, I checked your channel, but to my surprise you had no videos of the "better" V10. Don't complain, be happy he takes the time to upload these. He obviously puts time into them.

[@amittell]

Dude, it has an 8250rpm rev limit for a reason, peak power is at 7900rpm....what's with the short shifting? I have a Daytona Grey one and I can never resist blurring the needle in the limiter when I drive it, such an awesome mechanical sounding V8,!

[@ShunShiga]

@lightbulbisbright driveby scenes looked like Chase Rd near Islesworth (where Shaq and Tiger Woods live/lived)

[@iplayfourdays]

Would love to see a video like this of the new Superleggera, possibly even Amy's Gallardo?

[@shempmoe237718]

Great vid, what cameras do you use when your in the building.

[@bennyribs]

great shifting man!

[@cwvictorianz]

Prius' have a CVT transmission genius...their elec. motors do pack a punch in terms of torque though

[@ykwok321]

VN camera shots in the beginning of the video while in the garage!

[@GJM-]

Manual

[@hennesseyme94]

Robert I look up to you, you're the MAN. So you think you will get another Lambo anytime in the somewhat near future? Ps your R8 is so sick, I really admire you have it in a stick along with your TTG

[@camster8888]

MAN that sounds good.

[@resivoltio]

You know he is the man! when he doesn't have a radar detector. Cool video........anybody.... thumbs up?

[@bimmerE9Xfan]

Robert, do you rent that warehouse or do you own it? Wouldn't it be smart to buy an investment property in a future development area, then build a small, insulated and secured structure on the property to house your vehicles? If you did that instead of renting, you pay some at first, but if you choose the property wisely then in 15 or 20 years you could get almost double what you initially paid, and in the meantime have the freedom to do what you want with the land. It's just an idea :) Cheers

[@tango165]

Robert question for you- Not for the GoPro POV footage but from the walk up/ start up footage what camera did you guys use? Video quality is outstanding!

[@mycubes7879]

@BRavensTD very true but I think he got the v8 for the reason of being able to have a daily driver.

[@ydizzle]

I ENVY YOU!!!!

[@bmwlover0809]

@bmwlover0809 or the noble m600 because that thing is a beast, and its stick which u obviously like

[@Foxrider67Dawson]

@TadasNorkus Its a warehouse I don't think it was built with garage door openers in mind
