Oh my, those downshifts at 10:22 are spot on!
Abd junior Hallak I have to say that this car makes it very easy aswell. So kudos to the R8 for that.đ
one of the best R8 v 10 manual video i have seen ,,,,,spot on shifting with proper rev matching
Omar R Wow, thank you!!đ
You're really nice small channel. So happy I found you. Natural reviews are the best ! You have a big future if you are going to dedicate yourself for this:)
iFunzio Wow, great to hear!! Iâll do my best! Thanks!đđ
Wow, great video and some wonderful driving. What a joy it must be to row gears on this vehicle. Great downshifts! Absolutely precise with your rev matching!
B8Addict Spot on! This car is a blast! And I have to say that this car makes rev matching quite easy. So also kudos to the car for that!đ đ Thank you!!
You got a sub. Fantastic driving, with genuine skill. Great to watch!
Thanks so much! Cool to hear!
Great video again! Thumbs up!! Great driving, Nice to see someone on CZcams that can drive!

Hah I like the subtle dig at the Pagani interior :D Great vid!
Surya De Haha, I think youâre one of the few who noticedđ Thanks!
Again an awesome video and the sound is really awesome, but I also like the sound of the manual shifter, it sounds so directly, that's how shifting must sound like đ
I'm happy about that I don't have to use a automatic everyday haha
Daniel NK Thanks my friend! Haha, very good! #savethemanual
Excellent video dude your presentation is very enthusiastic and informative, keep it up you've earned another sub!
Cottsify Thanks! Appreciate it a lot!đđ More vids coming for sure.
Great review and channel.! Love your enthusiasm!

Great video again.....and 100000 subscribers till Christmas.
Todor Slavchev Thanks so much! Haha, Christmas 2027?đđ
You are doing natural, cheerful videos, very nice! I subscribed.
And... of course I have to agree with you, that this R8 in particular, manual and with this extraordinary V10 under the midhood is one of the best supercars ever built.
Greg Antono Thanks! Great to hear!đ
Heel and toe how to video? Aha I drive an 8th gen civic Si and trying to heel and toe is one of the more difficult skills for me currently, and amazing video, passion, videography, everything. Shocked you don't have more subs sir I love this channel, true car person channel.
Hunter K Thanks a lot!!đ I think there are a lot âhow to heel and toeâ videoâs out here..right? Iâll will take a look and if I donât see atleast one very good and clear one, Iâll make it!đ
Well, a month ago I had 50 subscribers, so it went up quite a bit the last few weeks with my new style of videoâs. Iâm happyđđ
PureDriveTV Sounds good! And Yes! I subbed after watching your e46 video and I agreed with everything you said, especially that all cars like that should be manual, was surprised to see a sub count under 100k!
Hunter K Cool to hear! Thanks!!đ
Hunter K i have small feet and i cant heel and toe, used to drive a civic si myself 10 years ago...
RazorFX Maybe you could adjust the pedals a bit. I donât think that it should be too difficult.
Great video. This channel should definitely take off if you keep this up!
AutoTempest.com Thanks so much! Iâm doing my best.đđ
Super vid mate. I gotta buy one !!!
Freud Thanks! Yeah, no doubt! I hope youâll find a nice one!đ
Wow! The thrill of driving a manual car, especially if it's a sports car.
Love your enthusiasm bro'. It would be nice if you can review a 997.2 gt3 rs. That's my dream car.. Great Heel & toe too !
Makta972 Thanks amigo!! Well, I did a while ago a 997.1 gt3 rs. So I wonât do a similar car soon. But if it comes on my path, then Iâll do it for sure! Within a few weeks Iâll do a 918 and Carrera GT. I hope thatâs also fine.đ
Makta972 yes! Especially the gray and red spec.
PureDriveTV I cannot wait to watch the cgt video. Keep up the good work!
Wilmar Alburquerque Thanks a lot! I hope Iâll be able to make the 918/cgt video within about a month.
Amazing car đI am so close to buy it soon
Cool man! I hope youâll find a good oneđ
Hi! Great video, such an amazing car!! Question: where did you buy that helmet? I love it!! Greetings from Argentina!
Thomas Cr Hi! Itâs my own helmet design. Good to hear that you like it!
Thanks amigo!
Subbed! Very good driving, good commentary and so much emotion! More E46 M3 content please!
Haha cool, thanks! Yes, Iâm trying to get my hands on a BMW E46 M3 CSL for a review...#doingmybest
I always come back to this one Maciek.
FX Haha cool! Itâs still one of my favourite cars!đ„đ
I love it, simply amazing

love the foot-work, you should get a pov camera view of your feet
Have this in a spyder tuned. Pure joy to drive. Keep the blowers and paddles.
Great video a really good review.
kins888 Thank you!
@@PureDriveTV Out of interest what car did your friend replace the R8 with?
kins888 Yeah sure. The M5 F10. Complete different car of course, but (unfortunately) it was time for something else.
Bought this car salvaged and it's currently in repair... This is defo the best V10 Manual video on CZcams.. Can't wait to finally drive it
Kishan Purohit Oh wow, cool project! How long will it take before itâs complete?
Thank you!!đ
@@PureDriveTVYes definitely excited for it đ hopefully will be done within the next week but maybe 2-3 weeks tops depending how quick the parts can come in
Kishan Purohit oohh, thatâs soon! I thought it might take some months or something!đ
Really cool! Let me know when itâs finished and how it drivesđ
New to your channel, great content. So 3 years later and many more cars drivenâŠ.do u still hold the r8 in high regard?
Thank you!đ WellâŠyes! Especially for the money. V10, good handling and the amazing soundtrack.
Sweet car..was on my list and ended up with a 993 c4s instead. Performance is not even close, but wanted an air cooled vintage car. In my opinion the R8 is a steal with the v10. Lambo without reliability issues.
FTLAUD 911 Exactly, youâve nailed it. And the 993 is in my opinion one of the sweetest Porsches ever build!đ Hopefully Iâll do a video on that one in the near future.
My god, I home i will get one like this, v10 manual gearbox.... Perfect car
Adam I hope you do! GREAT car!đ„đ
@@PureDriveTV thank you very much, you drove it like a pro it was satisfaying to watch ! Regards from France đ«đ· đȘđȘ
subscribed
I have the same issues... thatâs why Iâm still keeping mine đ itâs a great car
In my opinion there is no better, more fun supercar for that kind of money! But I do understand that youâd like to have something else/new/different after a while.
Hey I drove there on my way home from Japfest! @ 4:10
Nice! Sounds good. Where are you rev matching when you were down shifting?
denamazin45 Yesh, great sounding V10đȘđ„
What do you mean with âwhereâ?
I meant to ask were you rev matching when downshifting
denamazin45 I guess you mean how much rpm..? I have no idea haha. I rearly look at the gauge. But if I would guess, I think around 6500 rpm.
very nice...!
Dus geen p1 voor Max he? Wel erg leuke video! Hoop je weer eens te zien
max van den burg Hey Max! Haha, nee inderdaad. Uiteindelijk kwam hij âmaarâ 7 sec tekort, helaas.
Yes, vast wel...in de volgende video!đđ
Manual
Good video clips# pedal to metal bro(very slow):)
I do agree. Pagani Huayra has one of the most complicated interiors
Pramaap Singh Teotia đđ đ
i can say 2nd one ive owned just tons of fun
What a power! xD
THESocialJusticeWarrior đ
Did you Rev match on down shifts ?
That Sound!!
Wow the Audi/Lambo V10 is hair raising stuff. Cannot think of a better manual car ??
Yeah, that's one of the best sounds I've ever heard in my (car)life!
One of the best, maybe THE best manual indeed in that category!
Lovely car and awesome driving.
I will never understand the law about decibel on a racetrack, they dont want people to do street race but they always make it easier for illegal hooliganism
Fz09 Wilhelm Thank you!đ Well, about the decibel law... Itâs all because of the people who live around the racetrack and complain about the noise. Itâs like going to live next to the airport and then start to complain about the airplane noise..đ€Šââïž Ciao!
@@PureDriveTV yeah haha, they have close a few racetrack in Canada because of poeple complaining đ„
I own a facelifted V10 6MT R8. I consider myself very lucky. Love this car.
Tim Tursonoff You are for sure! Good job!đȘđ PS. Thatâs a Honda NSX in your profile picture. Also yours?!đ
PureDriveTV no, sir. Original NSX is one of the cars that I liked when I was a in my late teens. I do have an assortment of 5-6 MT 1990s BMWs though. Plus a 2007 Z4 M Coupe.
Tim Tursonoff GREAT!!đ The Z4 M I consider one of the best/coolest BMWâs ever!đ
PureDriveTV yes, I think that it is an absolutely great car. Mine has KW3 on it and Brembo BBK too. She is amazing! I am contemplating doing a 3.4L stroker motor on it.
Tim Tursonoff any video of it?
Excellent video thanks. Have you also driven a V8? A lot of people say the balance is better for a road only car? But nowadays the power is only so-so for a car that looks like the R8.
Peter Wood Thank you!!đđ Yes, Iâve driven the V8 as well and the difference in handling was, at least for me almost zero.
@@PureDriveTV best manual box you've driven? Would shorter throw be better? I wanted a V8 for a long time but too compromised as a daily so 'had to' get an N55 M2. R8 still fills my heart and my dreams though. Hydraulic steering, gated manual, rear drive bias, mid engined, timeless looks (original r8s not the transformer mobiles now)
Peter Wood Not the best, but for sure one of the most satisfying onesđ Usually I would say shorter throw would be better, but I feel that this is actually quite perfect for this car. I love the M2, good job! Iâve also got a review on that, have you seen it? And I think the R8 is actually a better âdailyâ than most people would think. I know someone who bought the R8 V8 new and still has it after driving it for more than 230.000 km.
@@PureDriveTV sure yeh used market high mileage R8s clearly been driven daily. What I meant has no storage and can't take passengers. Don't think I've seen your M2 one I'll check it out
Peter Wood Ahh of course. Yeah, in that regard of course the M2 is the better choice. Have you driven the r8?
Which company did the chip tuning and what exhaust system does this R8 have? The exhaust sound pretty extreme wearing headphones as I'm doing right now.
Hans Deutsch Hi. I donât know which company did the chiptuning. The exhaust is a Quicksilver Supersport.
To me, the first generation of the R8 is still the most beautiful.
For pure driving pleasure would you rather have this manual V10 R8 or the manual 997 GT3 RS you reviewed? Thanks
Ohms Damn...very good and tough question. The Porsche is more hardcore and raw, which I really like. The Audi has more power and I love the V10 (beautiful sound aswell) so much. Even though the Porsche wouldnât be bad for long trips, I would prefer the Audi for long trips. For track and mountain roads driving the Porsche. Itâs sharper, more agile. I think if I would choose the Porsche, I would want to trade it in for the Audi after maybe a year or so. But if I would go for the Audi, same thing. Iâd want to trade it for the Porsche after a while..đ I hope that answers it. Ciao.
@@PureDriveTV Haha! Perfect answer thank you :)
I wonder what the R8 V10 would be like with a RWD conversion, some further weight loss, rose jointed and more aggressive geometry!?
Ohms Sound like a dream!!đ
How man mile had this car done? Thanks again.
About 50.000
sounds like a m5 e60 from inside haha
Prachtig

The Audi R8 V10 released in 2009 was the first road car with full LED headlights not he 2012 face-lift so the one you're driving actually was the first car with full LED headlights as standard. :newatlas.com/audi-r8-v10-becomes-first-all-led-car/10655/
Yup
World best manual car...
Almost! I say the Porsche Carrera GT is. But only because I never drove the McLaren F1!đŹ

V 10 has a manual?
little ticked off Sorry for the late reply! YesđȘđ
It's. Manual, it has the wingbacks(stock seats look out of place in this car) i love it, just a shame that it is the ugliest color there is...đ it's just my opinion. And also in a car like this you need the v10 power, the v8's are relatively slow for a super car.đ
Yeah, great car. And I understand you about the color. But personally I love the color. I agree 100% that the V10 is the engine to haveđ
@@PureDriveTV Thank you for the reply, and i can respect your opinion about the color, every body has their taste, i can imagine it looks better in real life.I'm from Belgium. dus gooi ik er hier even wat nederlands tussenin,đIdeale wagen voor een supercharger build als ik eerlijk mag zijn, ik hoop dat je de kans krijgt om deze R8 ooit op jou naam te zetten.Netjes gereden trouwens.đ
Greasemonkey2k4 Dankjewel man. Super leuk om te horen!đđ
We want this R8 in the channel!! đ
Alejandro14 I want that R8 too!đ
What color is this? Samoa orange?
AUTOsist Yes indeed, Samoa orange.đ
Do you like it?
Yes looks great! Awesome review - love the passion. We are actually looking for a R8 V10 Manual at the moment. I know this one was tuned, but is a stock one just as fun? Does the tune make a huge difference? Also, what year is this one you drove?
AUTOsist Cool, thanks! This was a 2009. Iâve also driven the standard one, without any tuning and the joy is just as great. So in those terms not much of a difference. But talking laptimes, for sure the tuned one would be a bit faster. I think something around 1,5 - 2 sec. faster on a 2min lap.
Welcome to "Things you want but can't afford even in used condition".
Disco Jellyfish Hahaha, true! Iâm still saving...but not even near...đ
Is the v10 from Lamborghini?
DĂĄibhĂ Ă BraonĂĄin Donât get mad for this long answer...đ I just found this: Developed by Lamborghini, for use in the Gallardo, and the first engine developed for Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. after they were acquired by AUDI AG - part of the Volkswagen Group.
This engine has its origins in two concept cars made by Lamborghini, the 1988 P140 and the 1995 CalĂ . Both were equipped with engines having a 3.9-litre displacement. In the early 2000s, Lamborghini resumed the project and the engine was redesigned by increasing its displacement.
The crankcase and cylinder block are built at the Audi Hungaria Zrt. factory in GyĆr, Hungary,[1] whilst final assembly is carried out at Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.[2] The engine has a 90° vee angle and, unusually for a production engine, a dry sump lubrication system is utilised to keep the center of gravity of the engine low.
There was also some speculation that the engine block of the original 5.0-litre Lamborghini V10 was closely based on the Audi 4.2 FSI V8, which Audi produces for its luxury cars. However, this was denied by Audi AG, in their official documentation for their 5.2 FSI V10 engine, as used in the Audi S6 and Audi S8 - the Lamborghini 5.0 V10 has a cylinder bore spacing of 88 millimetres (3.46 in) between centres, whereas the Audi 5.2 V10 cylinder bore spacing is 90 millimetres (3.54 in), the same as the Audi 4.2 FSI V8.[3] The cylinder heads use the four valves per cylinder layout favoured by the Italian firm, rather than the five valve per cylinder variation formerly favoured by the German members of Volkswagen Group - including Audi and Volkswagen Passenger Cars. It was later confirmed that the new 5.2-litre Lamborghini V10 is mechanically identical to the Audi 5.2 V10 engine,[4] as is evident by Lamborghini's usage of Audi's Fuel Stratified Injection, and 90 mm cylinder spacing.
