Most underrated reviewer ever. A true petrolhead! I'm so glad that you keep pushing forward and giving us such a great videos . Amazing quality and amazing review as always. You know what you're doing, and you love it. So do we. I wish you your first million subs till the end of this year. You can do it. Just dooo it!:)You truly deserve it. Every car manufacturer should be honored to have You review their cars. Wish you many successful years in creating your remarkable content. Btw, i love the ALPINA reviews, put some B8 Gran Coupe(green) in your garage man:). It suits you perfect! All the best mate!💪🏻
Loved the video. I too tried to reach 200 MPH in an R8 in Germany. With the traffic I only managed to get a little over 290 KPH (180+ MPH). Infact, a guy in a 991 911 GT3 wanted a go at me🤣 (video clip on my channel homepage)
I think they know competition isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm a big BMW fan, but I still wouldn't discount Audi and Mercedes. They make some fantastic cars that BMW dont really have a rivals for. Like the R8 or AMG GT. The RS6 and until recently an estate to go agaisnt the RS4.
Mate didnt have to go all the way to Germany...just do what Ive done years gone by: M40 2am on a Saturday night between bicester and oxford or M11 j7 - j6 or A13 between Grays and Dartford. Lovely stretches of road. You can easily do 200mph legally if you dont get caught. 🤣🤣🤣
I drove the A7 from Fussen to Wurzbrg this summer, was a fabulous road and also quite empty. I found the 2 lane roads much safer and easier to go faster than the 3 lane sections. I recommend trying the Autobahn before the speed gets restricted sometime soon no doubt.
You seemed to delete a few comments that were critical of your driving but you really should have more sense than driving like that when the 2 inside lanes are as busy as they were in some places. As a daily user of the Autobahn I think the local cops would have supported my concern.
I only delete rude or cyber bullying comments. I'm not taking any big risks here, maybe the GoPro angle makes it look worse than it is. I appreciate your feedback and concerns though and take them on board for next time. 👌
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. :-(!!!
Such an amazing car. Always loved the R8 since it was first introduced in the mid 2000's.

Thank you buddy, some lovely words ♥
That engine noise under load must bring about some emotions... I got hot sitting here watching you go that fast!! Great video as usual Joe.
the v10 does sound amazing
Not seen it all yet but this surely has to be reminiscent of the legendary top speed autobahn run you did.
Such fun. Thanks for having us come along. Great, high quality editing!
Only driven an older v10 spyder which sounded great. Would love to see how far they have come
Brilliant presentation mate, reminds me of the old Chris Harris N24 vids - right up there. Class.
Thank you buddy, I've watched that video many times, big compliment 👌👊

still impressive, years ago I did the Autobahn in an E class and managed 130 mph or something like that
I gave it a go in my 1.1 fiesta. I got to 101 mph . I need a hill like a big hill . Thanks
You must be chuffed as a BMW fan boy and owner of a couple that Audi UK give you a R8 for a few days and cover your costs🙏🏻😉

Really appreciate your videos and your style Joe. Those drive-by takes must be a handful to do! Cheers!!
Love roadtripping through germany, I do it every year. Usually in a modified BMW :) Never done 192 though! Great review.
that trip looked like a whole bunch of fun from start to finish.
Is it really that cold there? 🥶
This was a good video Joe. 👍 Thanks for the footage on the Autobahn AND The Ring. I love the R8. ♥️

Great car. Drove one on a track day in 2012 and was blown away by it. Would want the 4wd version myself.
Absolutely phenomenal race. My first out of the country in 3 years. Autobahn was surprisingly quiet when we were on it - just a pity about fuel costs!
Audi looks like a good friend to have.
Joe, you being Audi's good luck charm is a sign that it's your destiny to switch allegiances to Team Ingolatadt from BMW. 😛
Bravo Joe 👏👏👏👏
Well worth a watch peeps!
31 secs ago.... hehe.... Interesting choice of car! Love Audi!
Another great episode that is my dream car I have just bought my ticket for BOTB so fingers crossed.
Fantastic video as always. 👏🏻
Another great experience, thank you 😊❤️👍
Great video joe loved it 😊
Great video Joe!
Great to hear you and Stefan were on same trip. Are you guys doing anything with petrol ped this year?
Amazing car, sadly they no longer sell new R8s in Oz anymore 🥺
Iv done the lemans 24h to death now Nurburgring 24 is definitely next! looks awesome!
Joe you are genius 🥸😎😎
Which would you prefer Joe … this car or a 992 GTS? Great vid as always!
Top of my subscriptions today, this then AutotopNL Porsche 911 Autobahn at 325km/h!
I can't understand why Mercedes doesn't give you press cars. You are doing a fantastic job regardless the brand.
Wow what a video 👏🏼
Hmmm .. i thought you answered this question in Jun 2017 in the Alpina B7 ?
Epic trip 👌🏻
It’s a win win for Audi
Achilles lucky charm confirmed. Take note manufacturers
Hey Joe …… baronvongrumble hasn’t posted anything about his trip and it’s been 11 days ,i noticed you commented on his last one …. Is he ok ?
Guys at AutoTopNL are doing it a lot
Okay 👍 Joe what do you this the Audi R8 or a Porsche 911 turbo S ?
iI also went to the N24 but i was in a transit tourneo rental..... i think i hit 170kph in it... so im not jealous.... at all....
In Germany cars are left handed but you are driving right handed car.
@ 2:28.......Middle lane driver !!!!!!!
😎😎😎
Problems with BMW ?
