In todays video, I compare my v8 manual R8 to a V10 manual. Is the extra 2 cylinders worth the upgrade?

Coming from a B8.5 RS4 V8 I think both of those cars just sound amazing. Great video keep up the good work on the big N/As. ❤

My GT has a different map on the R-Tronic then stock R8V10s, so not a fair comparison, but I've lived with it for a few years now and I honestly think the complaints are more due to expectations... If you expect an auto box, it will be disappointing. If you expect an automated manual, a halfway house between a manual and an auto, then it's fine. It needs as much mechanical sympathy as a manual only with a different user interface. I like the engagement that provides. But that's just me.

@@esthetics4512 the R8 GT comes with its own unique map for both engine and gearbox. I've left those stock as the improvements are marginal beyond what they did at factory. It's so marginal it's not worth the cost or giving up my extended warranty 😁

I bought one of the very last gen 1 R8s. The premium for the V10 at the time was over $50k USD. I went with the V8 and have loved it since the day she was delivered. The extra cost plus extra maintenance was not worth it to me. Your mileage may vary.

I have a V10 manual 'vert. I owned a bunch of V8 cars before (Mustangs etc), the V10 is just another level of exotic feel and sound. They're all great tho. I'm jealous how cheap you can get them in UK, here in USA the manual is hugely valuable now (my car is 1 of 1 in its spec for the NA market - crazy).

Okay I know this a car video (and a great one might I add) but let’s just appreciate one thing, as men gathered here. Notice how the entire video was just both guys coming up with reasons why the other guy’s car is better. I love it. That’s why I get annoyed when people say men treat each other bad, or we are confrontational. This video is proof that we’re not. Love both cars, my dream is a V10 Audi R8 manual, in either black or a vibrant colour like orange or green
