Love the car! Almost the exact spec that I want! One thing I noticed that I figured I'd mention - you should be a bit more careful with recording as you leave your house if you have the navigation open on your MMI. I'm sure you keep a low profile and don't attract much negative attention but it's still not good to be putting that information out there. P.S. - let me know if you end up selling the car! I'm also in South Florida and am currently shopping around for one.
Thank you for the heads up. I figure anyone who sees me driving, that is crazy can follow me home anyway!!! I don’t plan on selling it, she is amazing.
Finally the first video I’ve seen on TH-cam in which the owner is normal and not some weird clout chasing kid. These cars are beautiful and true Machines.
I am so happy for you man. R8 V10 plus is for years my dream car. Right now i am driving 2019 RS3 and i hope in 2years i will be able to switch to R8 V10 plus. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for this content! Take care😊
The reason for the sqeal is because you have some buildup, what you need to do to fix it is do a really hard hard brake couple times from 20-30 mph, and then it should go away for the most part, reason being is its a german car haha and that's that, its completely normal too, happened to my 2020 R8 as well.
Actually after I replaced the stock wheels and tires to a lighter combo, it reduced loading on the suspension and the grinding sound and vibration went away for good. It’s been about 9 months. Your comment is definitely accurate if my issue was brake related, which was my initial reaction also. Thank you for the comment, and hopefully it helps someone else who views the channel.
How is the car doing now? I just got a 2020 with 12K miles on it. I still can't drive it because I got it shipped from halfway accross the country and we are waiting for the right documents to be sent to register it. I can't frigging wait!
Hey buddy, here is a link to my recent update video. Congrats on the new ride. 3 Year Update 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus w POV Driving HD 720p th-cam.com/video/bmZlfgicKDE/w-d-xo.html
Love your video and your car is amazing! i have a 2010 r8 with the gated manual transmission. It's funny how you said about people smiling and giving you the thumbs up! It happens to me too quite often.. I should put a new exhaust on mines.
Glad you liked the video and thank you for subscribing. I hope to have more content out in the next week or two. I bet an exhaust on your R8 would sound amazing! Keep me posted on what you decide to do.
@@sagerides3820 Great video. And amazing car. I understand looks is subjective. But, I personally like this 2nd gen, pre-facelift version of the R8 better than both the original and 2020 model.
@@sagerides3820 The 2020 model is also 2nd gen. And its styling is even more aggressive than that of your car. And although I prefer it better than the orginal, I also find it a bit excessive. Your model will always be my favorite.
at low speed it's normal that noise about the brakes. no need to worry about. all the r8 do that. i don't know about the facelift model but the brakes should be the same
Thank you! If you love R8s…you will be happy with any Gen, engine, gated or auto. Go for it, life isn’t a dress rehearsal. Check out some of my more recent videos for mods.
Grear video , you have. Beautiful car keep the car stock just beautiful. I am trying to decide 2018 v 10 plus or the first gen v10 plus what do you think ?? Thanks
Great video, i too ma looking at an R8 for next year becuase the price is very appealing and affordable but I am having a hard time because the Huracan is another option. Anyway for some suggestions on future videos maybe make some POV drives. Those would be cool to watch
Thank you for the feedback and I agree about the R8's value. I decided against the Huracan due to the fact that it is a little too flashy for me personally, and it is reviewed to be not as comfortable as the R8. I will do a POV video driving along the coast (Hwy A1A) soon. Great idea.
@@sagerides3820 Sounds great, cant wait for the video! And yes, the huracan is definitely not as comfortable. Been in both and r8 is very comfy. I like the column mounted paddles of a huracan over the steering mounted though so its a hard choice. The much lower insurance cost and more dealerships for the R8 is also a plus (no pun intended).
Awesome review bud, Just passed my boards and i've been looking to purchase this. I have a CC Sport rightnow which will be my daily driver. Just doing my research on the R8, what is insurance like, maintenance and payment like. thank you
Hey Tony, thank you very much. I have stated value insurance through Leland West which runs about $2k per year. Maintenance is just an oil change every year, since mine is still under warranty until late 2021. Payments vary by individual based on down payment, your credit, and term of the loan you choose. Good luck on the purchase and thanks for watching!
@@sagerides3820 HOW?? i live in brooklyn, ny and geico quoted me $450 a month for full coverage for a garbage 2015 smart car, basically a tiny box. $450 a MONTH!! i have never been in a crash or accident, and never filed a claim of any kind. i asked how much it will cost to insure a simple bmw z4 from 2020. 900 dollars a MONTH. yeah. that is insane.
Hey VGAF, the policy I have runs $180 per month with restrictions like not using the car for errands like going to a doctor appointment or grocery shopping. I can take it to restaurants, car shows, friends’ houses... It is a collector car policy through Leland West and has mileage capped at 3k per year. Brooklyn is treacherous so I am sure that adds a lot of risk which bumps your premiums!!!
@@sagerides3820 you are also required to store it somewhere safe i think. i would have another garage fee of around $300 or more WITH other people parking near it to boot! a real private indoor garage would be closer to $400 or $500 a month.
Depends on what kind of race. On track the 570s will probably win because it’s accelerating harder at high speed. But on drag race the R8 might win because of better launch.
Last week, I had my paint protection film redone with Xpel and had the whole car ceramic coated. Looks amazing, will get a video out soon. Just been super busy.
Hi, I have my own company, but then again I am 46. Just work hard, set attainable goals over time and as you reach those milestones set new goals...you can do it too!
Windshield, door windows and rear window between passenger compartment and engine. I did not tint the back glass over the engine. I am not sure how it would hold up with the heat anyway.
Curious question do people call you out or do you get more attention in public from both male & Female? Or is that just a misconception lol Or is that for guys with Lambos or Gold Wraps that stick out like a sore thumb
Good question...mostly guys but every once in a while a cute girl will do a double take of the car. In Florida, nice cars are everywhere, but I bet in smaller less flamboyant cities, you would get more attention.
America has so much room for parking and just in general I’ve never seen a row of attached houses. Still they complain about everything, typical humans 😑
Congrats on the pending move. I am in Lauderdale. Yes, still have it and will likely keep it for the rest of my years! If you need some suggestions on mechanics and car shows, hit me up.
This is why this is my favorite super car.
👍🏻

Dream car! Congratulations for having the opportunity driving this car every day!
Thank you, sir! It has been a pleasure to own it for almost 4 years.

I am glad you enjoyed the video! I try to keep it real.
@@sagerides3820 thank you. Would love to see more videos of this car.
Getting mine soon. A childhood dream. Thank you for this video, made me even more hyped
Glad you enjoyed, if you browse my channel there are more updates and mods from recent videos! Enjoy the ride!!!
I will own this in the next 15 months. Lets go! Grind time!
Awesome goal my friend!!! You got this.
9 months to go
@@dezeta9225 settled for the RS7. Much more practical
I am so happy for you man. R8 V10 plus is for years my dream car. Right now i am driving 2019 RS3 and i hope in 2years i will be able to switch to R8 V10 plus. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for this content! Take care😊

Just so beautiful
It's my next car. I think that sound is normal down shifting reverse .
what a dream machine, congrats!
Thank you! Still as amazing as when I took delivery.
How is the car doing now? I just got a 2020 with 12K miles on it. I still can't drive it because I got it shipped from halfway accross the country and we are waiting for the right documents to be sent to register it. I can't frigging wait!

ayo the man the legend i bought your tutorial once and i quit programming already

@@TheTmat007 Thank you, they are all beautiful versions of the R8, but like you, I am partial to the aggressive looks of the Gen 2 also!

I very love Audi R8 ❤️
Change those old Gen 2 wheels off and put some nice new HRE concave mono's on her! Put R8 seatbelt covers over the factory, looks great on mine!
Hey! I wound up getting Vorsteiner wheels. Check out my channel for more mods.
We bought TJ Hunts Audi R8 V10 Love this car
Congrats on the new ride. I saw you taking delivery when he posted the video the other day. I like the Vorsteiner aero on your car. Enjoy it!!!
@@sagerides3820 thanks Bro
Very nice ride, congrats… thinking of getting one myself… what you think of the first Gen V10 manual?
Thank you! If you love R8s…you will be happy with any Gen, engine, gated or auto. Go for it, life isn’t a dress rehearsal. Check out some of my more recent videos for mods.
you're literally the 1st person who I've seen tinting their tail lights 👌🏽
Thanks for the note. It definitely changes the look, and lets the lights blend in more with the car’s styling!
I 100% dont like black cars because you lose all the body lines but... I fucking love your R8. Very badass.
Thank you for the compliment! I almost went with Nardo Grey, but black on this car just felt right!
I would love to see it perform! Track or drag strip! Thanks for posting tho.
Beautiful ride!
Thank you!!!
Nice video but background music is very loud in my phone maybe put that softer next time
Grear video , you have. Beautiful car keep the car stock just beautiful. I am trying to decide 2018 v 10 plus or the first gen v10 plus what do you think ?? Thanks

Yes, correct...though it is in my house garage in suburban South Florida!
Can you do some fly bys with the pops? It sounds great from the cockpit but wanna see what its like from the outside.
I did one fly by with pops in the Major Modification Announcement for R8 video. I like your idea of doing more. Maybe I can do some soon!
Very nice R8 you have!!....not sure about beating a 570S though? 🤔
Depends on what kind of race. On track the 570s will probably win because it’s accelerating harder at high speed. But on drag race the R8 might win because of better launch.
Do you still have your R8? Have you done anymore mods?
Last week, I had my paint protection film redone with Xpel and had the whole car ceramic coated. Looks amazing, will get a video out soon. Just been super busy.
Nice I may get 1 either this or 2015 Porsche gt3🤙
Both are awesome cars!
Are you taking them to tracks or just for road? I’ve driven em both and I would say get the Porsche for track days or buy the R8 for daily driving.
BADD AZZ CAR$$!!
Thank you!!!
What job do you have to be able to afford a car like this? I want to be able to afford one when I am older.
Hi, I have my own company, but then again I am 46. Just work hard, set attainable goals over time and as you reach those milestones set new goals...you can do it too!
If you can afford a car like this. Your not concerned about gas mileage lol
Hello sir, what do you do for a living,
Plastics!!!
Which windows are tinted on this R8, Appears to be the doors & windshield.
Windshield, door windows and rear window between passenger compartment and engine. I did not tint the back glass over the engine. I am not sure how it would hold up with the heat anyway.
@@sagerides3820 thanks for the prompt reply, don’t think I can get away w/ the windshield in NC.
Curious question do people call you out or do you get more attention in public from both male & Female? Or is that just a misconception lol

Good question...mostly guys but every once in a while a cute girl will do a double take of the car. In Florida, nice cars are everywhere, but I bet in smaller less flamboyant cities, you would get more attention.
What year is your car?
2017
Thinking of getting one. I have a Lamborghini Gallardo
Good call. Let me know if you have any questions as you proceed.
Dude the music while you are talking turn it off! It’s annoying and we can’t hear you.
Such a sexy vehicle. Good job audi. Hey you wanna pick me up we can go for a ride bro ✌🏾
Thank you!!!
1000 miles? Sorry man but can’t really tell anything after just that
I’ve driven two different Hurucan and they both made that noise when braking at low speed
Interesting that they haven't fixed that. I bet with after market lighter wheels, the Huracan would lose the low speed braking noise as well.
@@sagerides3820 maybe but I think it’s normal for that kind of brakes/wheels and shouldn’t be harmful for the wheels in any way
America has so much room for parking and just in general I’ve never seen a row of attached houses. Still they complain about everything, typical humans 😑
Do you still have the car and where in SFL. Moving Dec 1st
Congrats on the pending move. I am in Lauderdale. Yes, still have it and will likely keep it for the rest of my years! If you need some suggestions on mechanics and car shows, hit me up.
