I know some are going to say it is a step down but it is not about trying to top the Ferrari... it is simply about what you love, what you are passionate about and simply what you want. Congratulations. Enjoy it.
Congrats man! I love my 2018 V10 plus. Such a wonderful supercar to daily drive. Fast, comfortable and surprisingly affordable maintenance. Looking forward to see what you do with it! Oh ps. the V10 plus has a performance mode. Its opposite of the exhaust valve button on the steering wheel...press that and it turns it into a completely different car with all of the safety features turned off instantly and its paddles only. It's AMAZING.
Yeah i can't imagine anything better than this on the car either. He will propably do it though if the exhaust is sponsored and he can make money off the video
I know this is 9 months later, but was awesome to see the excitement in your face. Like a kid in a candy store. I was that excited 2 wks ago when I bought my wife a 4th Gen Escalade ESV. Enjoyed your video.
I was so happy when I saw you pull the trigger on this one, congrats. I have a ‘17 R8 V10 Plus , also I am a part time Pittsburgher, and have a couple of lesser known hacks for you...1) you can put the car in park by just turning the car off, you don’t have to push “P”. 2) You can put the car in gear from Park, by just pulling on the right paddle, will put you in M1. 3) Most importantly, when entering the Liberty tunnels, pull both paddles simultaneously puts the car in N, rev it till you grin, then pull the right paddle and it will put you back in the appropriate gear. 4) After performing number 3, go to Fiori’s for more smiles! I am excited to see what you do with her. I blacked everything out on mine, and swapped the wheels for Vorsteiner wheels and Michelin 4S tires!!!
I literally had a tear in my eye seeing this, the emotions and expressions when getting a new car. I am 32 and I have yet to get my first car, seeing this is just so amazing. GRATS on the new car! It sounds and looks superb.
Congrats man, welcome to the v10 plus club I’ve had mine for 6 months now and the sounds it makes is incredible. Looking forward to watching all your vids on it. You could tell from watching your genuinely soo happy to have it dare I say it even more than the F12!! Enjoy.
Love the new ride. As soon as I saw it, I said to myself, " no more tickets for you". NOT!!!! Am not wishing any tickets on you but come on, that car has to be unleashed periodically. Congrats to you & your lovely wife
@@renrut1613 I understand his dilemma, but as a viewer, I look for exotic cars, I subscribed for the F12. This Audi just doesn’t interest me enough to stop and watch. I guess I am more interested in the machines and the personality is not enough to tip the scales for me.
Let’s be clear, don’t want to be misunderstood. I’m not hating on anyone. I don’t care about his finances, that’s his problem and is business. And if this car is the one He likes, that’s great for him as well. For me this car doesn’t say much, especially compared to the Ferrari, that was my only point
@@tiagocoelho7415 hands down it doesn't. But being he isn't a big time TH-camr(1 million subs at least) and this is his profession he was probably losing money on the Ferrari. Doesn't mean he can't necessarily afford it but maybe means he is spending more money on it then he is making, content wise off it.
I went from a Porsche 9114S to the F12. F12 still scares the crap out of me. Never felt dangerous in the 4s at almost any speed. I’m afraid to get on it in the F12 unless I’m near dead straight. I think the R8 AWD will be great. I’m a huge Audi fan. First big boy car was an 2005 S4 then a 2007 RS4. RS4 my fav all time
Mike Akropovic make some of the best Racing and aftermarket exhaust in the World. Akropovic are top of the tree, for both performance and sound, changing it, is only for something second best.
This is going to be your most reliable supercar .. it truly is in my eyes the perfect daily ..and if you don’t car about warranty you can send it to VFR and get 800+ WHP and still get great gas mileage... hurrcan played out ! Ferrari played out but the true gentleman supercar that you don’t see on every kids TH-cam channel is the R8 .. well done
That sound is 9/10ths of the Ferrari(NOTHING tops a N/A Ferrari V12) and it is amazing what Audi did to keep the V10 from sounding like a vacuum cleaner. Amazing!! Love seeing others dreams come true.
That is HANDS DOWN the cleanest R8 I have ever seen! I don’t know how you are gonna make money off of this.....there is nothing to upgrade! Great purchase man! Definitely better than the Ferrari, in my opinion 👌🏽🔥
Definitely hire an Attorney from the county in Ohio where you got pulled over to get the charges reduced. Then the Attorney will go to court in your place.
He said the ticket cost $160, sure it's his time to go to court but what do you think an attorney would charge you to go to court? he would end up paying the attorney a bunch, I would drive to court and pay the fine and save money
I like the Audi and I appreciate that your back down on earth with the rest of us in the “people’s supercar”. Enjoy it, looking forward to watching it grow on the channel.
Dude I just checked out your channel. You deserve more followers and more views. You’re a cool dad who loves speed. Wishing you success on your channel.
HI Mike. GREAT CAR! I love it, unreal spec! FYI, the sound the car makes when you open the driver's door is the fuel pump priming itself in readiness to get started. Looking forward to some sexy R8 V10 content!
...and to think... I’ve been subscribed since your Ford Fusion “fob key tricks” video... now we’re onto R8’s and Ferraris. How you have grown! Love it!!!
Congrats Mike! Finaly a real supercar!! No, joke.. But i do like that R8. Other concern is that you don't have to do that much on it. Tinted windows, black wheels, sound is about spot on... And you got it in the national Dutch color.. .Orange! xD
Congrats Mike! i was smiling the whole time after you showed us the R8! Can't wait to get one myself one day! Love it! Great spec! KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDS DUDE! 💯
I purchased a new Cadillac 2 days ago,it'll take a couple days to figure everything out on that.You'll be discovering new things everyday. Congratulations... She's a beaute!
Awesome car dude, “German engineering the best”. I’ve owned many BMW’s M version, currently I own a BMW X5 M Competition 2021 and planning on installing a Akrapovic exhaust system like the one you have installed in your new Audi. The sweet sound of the Akrapovic systems are so amazing, those are the best exhaust system in the world. 👌👌👌👌
Congratulations baba... I remember watching your video pop up regarding your hydro locked c63 ... Then you bought a Ferrari ... Now a Audi R8 v 10 .... Love the videos ... Much love from Goa India ....
This is why I enjoy his channel. He’s humble. He seriously loves it, and it’s genuine
Super chilled out too...

I’ve noticed ;)
I’m confused, what makes it a super car? Price?
Return the exhaust you have coming. That sounds perfect as is.
Yeah i can't imagine anything better than this on the car either. He will propably do it though if the exhaust is sponsored and he can make money off the video
Now let’s see what happens when you throw it in Reverse on the highway.
But on a serious note, congrats!
🤣
💀💀💀💀💀💀
rocket mode*
Personally, I wasn’t a big fan of the f12, but this is sooo sick!!! Congrats Mike!!
That thing sounds rad man! Congrats!
I would be returning the other exhaust it sounds perfect
Ayeee congrats bro 😎 love it !!! you gotta try out my twin turbo R8
Yea BRAAP 💪🏽💯
Hahah trying to buy that Huracan I see
The r8 is hands down one of the best daily drivable supercars. Congrats!
@@rapidfire3914 😂😂😂 😂😂😂
thanks for spoiling a video🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
@@lukakrstic8576 🤣 watch video first , never read coments first on surprise videos
Probably the best thing you've done on this channel!! Beautiful Car!
Turning up at court for a speeding ticket with that thing is gonna be epic... lol
I know this is 9 months later, but was awesome to see the excitement in your face. Like a kid in a candy store. I was that excited 2 wks ago when I bought my wife a 4th Gen Escalade ESV. Enjoyed your video.
Congrats man, keep that Audi performance exhaust on there it sounds real good.
V10 and beautiful OEM color

That thing sounds rowdy!
Honestly I Know the channel is about vehicles being upgraded but IMO I wouldn't change a single thing on it. Audi makes perfection from the factory.
So happy for you Mike :D greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷
What the odds you loose your license
I literally had a tear in my eye seeing this, the emotions and expressions when getting a new car. I am 32 and I have yet to get my first car, seeing this is just so amazing. GRATS on the new car! It sounds and looks superb.
Congrats from the Netherlands. Enjoy!
Congrats Mike! I hope one day I’ll have an R8 like this! Well deserved and great choice!
Congratulations on the new car, I love it! I’ve never clicked on a new video so fast 😂

R8! Nice choice, Mike!
I actually had this R8 saved on Autotrader and you bought it! I’m jealous haha 😂
Congrats and welcome to the Audi Gang brotha! Wish you nothing but success. I have a feeling you’re going to like this more than the Ferrari.
Love the new ride. As soon as I saw it, I said to myself, " no more tickets for you". NOT!!!! Am not wishing any tickets on you but come on, that car has to be unleashed periodically. Congrats to you & your lovely wife
I’ve never been an Audi fan but this is beautiful Mike. Absolutely love it.
Nice car, but a 911 Turbo S is hard to beat in this price range.
He should’ve gotten that white 993 turbo next to the R8. Better contents and more viewers. Shame he didn’t.
The new Turbo S is just crazy and the performance vs cost is great, only thing it doesn't quite feel exotic as a Italian/R8.
Disappointing but I'm glad you're happy. I know you will do amazing things with it.
NO CHROME RIMS PLEASE!
IM WITH YOU KIP..LOL
Disappointing. I don’t know how anyone can be so happy to step down from the F12 to an R8.
@@miguelangelrocha4136 he isn’t making what he used to on you tube and had to sell it. Stale content bit him in the ass.

Coolest Audi R8 i ever seen! What a Screamer! 😎 👍
Great choice Mike! Now get it VF engineered 😈
R8 Convertible is my dream car. I've lusted over it for years. I doubt I'll ever be able to get one, but you can't stop dreaming! Congrats!!
Isn't there a newer version of the r8?
Awesome ride man congrats.
All love from South Africa
I can’t believe the Ferrari is gone for this 😭😭😭😭
My thoughts exactly 😂
He had to go budget he wasn’t making enough money to keep the Ferrari. Probably can barely afford the R8
I can't believe y'all saying it as if it's simple to afford it. It's a purchase for content. He wants to make money, this is his profession.

Knew you were gonna get it lol, happy for you.
Yea although I thought he was going to get the original one
Excellent choice Mike! Grattis !! snygg som fann!
Who sell a ferrari f12 for a audi r8
Someone who’s lost a ton of revenue on you tube.
Not many cars can pull off orange, but an R8 is one of them. Congrats!
Mike, please don't change that exhaust, its sounds awesome.

cant wait for you to come over to the porsche family! you are almost there!
I just bought a V10 R8 here in Vegas...looking forward to your channel to see what I want to do to mine!!
Congrats!!!!!
I knew you were getting the audi r8. Way to go man
CONGRATULATIONS! LOVE IT! Can't wait for the content that's coming!
I saw you driving this car in the parking lot of the winking lizard sounds beautiful and looks amazing was very happy to hear it 😂😂
Gratulerar!! Ska bli roligt att se kommande videos.
2 days later... “I’ve got a MASSIVE problem with my new super car”
Especially if he revs the shit out of it only 5 seconds after starting it. 😢
That is HANDS DOWN the cleanest R8 I have ever seen! I don’t know how you are gonna make money off of this.....there is nothing to upgrade! Great purchase man! Definitely better than the Ferrari, in my opinion 👌🏽🔥

You got the poor man's TH-camr village bicycle. Guess times are hard for that much of a downgrade
I gotta lie, I agree🤣🤣🤣
Amen, channel went from special to meh in one post.
The new Supercar is Awesome. And the color is wild. Looking forward to new videos with this one. Congratulations Mike.
Of all the women on youtube, your wife is the absolute best. She's a walking talking meme. lol
That’s SOOO awesome your wife supports your passion for super cars. That doesn’t happen very often.
Must say I’m disappointed- going from an F12 to an R8. Definitely stepping down in style and performance.
so what you driving?
I agree but he had no choice couldn’t afford the Ferrari anymore.
@@patrickzievinger146 probably he’s driving something that’s paid for and not something he can’t afford
Congrats man!! im glad you got the car you wanted
I'm happy for you Mike that thing is gorgeous👍💯✌
Hi, what camera (and mic) did you use to film this video? Thanks ;)
Yess welcome to the R8 club!! I love mine so much!! You should come out to cali with this for one of our all R8 cruises. Last time we had over 50!
Dude I just checked out your channel. You deserve more followers and more views. You’re a cool dad who loves speed. Wishing you success on your channel.
@@mrcuboid thank you so much man! Always nice to hear when others enjoy my content too👌🏽🙌🏽
Congrats, I recently got a F12 by watching your and Will's videos. Keep it up man. I think the new contents you up-lode will be even cooler!
just waiting on the first time going through the Greentree road tunnel..
Same here! 👍
Been there, done that.. 376w
Man the success story of this guy, jeeeez!! Congratulations 👏 I think we can all say everyone watching is living vicariously through you 😂
I think Mike's lost the plot !! That's a massive downgrade from a F12 🤯
Yup...
Agreed.
Agreed, Massive downgrade!!
i dont think anyone really cares, lol
Not really ... the R8 is almost just as fast but way, way more reliable than the F12 ... Mike is being smart here and probably pays less to
Congrats!!! R8 is my first super car choice and do not regret it. Enjoy your new toy.
Congratulations!!
Man, if you can hear a laugh across the parking lot, you know it was a good decision. Congrats
Yo congrats bro!! Definitely throw some rims on that thing and get it crackin! 💪
No, no more rims
The rims are already nice
I think it just needs a front lip
@@Abdullah..S exactly. Those F12 rims were ugly imo. Keep it stock!!
@@tde2019 I agree, I did not like the rims on the F12. I would not change these on this Audi
Congratz! the V10 R8 is always one of my fav cars no doubt! Glad to see you come all the way from your Ford to this point!
Congrats Mike! Hope for many safe travels with it! (I honestly like the R8 more than the F12 you had 😂)
Im the biggest Audi fanatic in the world , but F12 is something different ! 🤣🤣🤣
It's so cool that wifey loves it, and gets excited about cars.
Today: Buys R8
two weeks from now: I lost my license because I committed felony speeding in Ohio
