It's because of the market, and performance. When I'm going to be buying a new high high performance car, like a ferrari or Lamborghini, I want the highest performance i can get, really any automatic nowadays (especially a dct or tct) will be faster all around and smoother than any manual transmission or the best manual driver. It makes sense to have a manual option for sports cars, like the mustang gt, or Subaru brz, bc it'll be fun, practical, and people will actually buy it.
This is the first and only sportscar I've ever driven, so I don't have much to compare it to, but god what a machine it is. The sound is amazing and it handled great! Still holds a special place in my heart and I hope to ever be able to afford one before we are no longer allowed to drive them. Maybe electric is the future, but I will surely miss this.....
@@pbluma Because currently, electric vehicles simply don't deliver the promised drop in emissions, when compared with the equivalent ICE-powered vehicle.
You can tell how much of a handful this car is to drive by the way he’s wrestling with the steering wheel on the corners and when the car breaks traction. Beginner drivers need to stop underestimating cars. I’m just glad AutoTopNL’s drivers are professionals and we don’t have to worry about accidents on this channel.
What a car! It was so ahead of it's time when it came out. Saw it first when it was still a concept car named Le Mans, which eventually made it to Need For Speed: Carbon. And still to this day, this looks just as good as it did back in those days. And the gated manual is just peak automotive experience
I just love R8 so much man. I've been dreaming about this car since I was like 12 years old I'm serious, and it is my life goal. Some people would probably call me stupid for this being my life goal but it is.
I honestly love and prefer this R8 generation than the new one, especially the V8. It is not tremendously fast, probably remapped BiTDI will beat it, but damn it has a soul and a character! Not that the V10 is bad, but V8 is pure emotion. Unpopular opinion, but I don't like show offs, I like cars that remind me of emotion.
this thing looks sooooooo much better than the new gen...pre-facelift looks the best, in my opinion. The R8 GT was the pinnacle; what a pity they didn't make it manual. Waiting for the POV review!😍
Audi R8 will go to one of the best cars in history. ♥️ Especially the first gen with the glorious 4.2 V8 and 5.2 V10 in combination with the 6 speed manual.
This has about as much power as a Cayman 4.0. Thats not nothing, but I see why they built the V10 version and I am eternally grateful for that. This is a nice car, but the V10 Spyder manual is pure magic.
I cannot have a meal,,ANY!! throughout my day without watching some AutoTopNL and this right here is definitely my love language. AUDI R8 babee... love the channel.
I know the V8 R8’s performance isn’t that strong and something with a V6 or inline 4 nowadays can easily catch up with it. But damn, those were the days... On the other hand, a 2015 R8 with a V8, are those rare?
I haven’t heard much about the V8 R8 these days, so maybe they stopped production of the V8 for newer years in favour of the V10. I have no idea, but AutoTopNL might have more information than me.
@@joshuamccutcheon If my memory served me right, the V8 R8 was retired from the lineup sometime in 2013 or 2014. Very seldom do I hear about a 2015 R8 with the V8
Bet that this thing is 10000x more fun than modern hybrid supercar bullshit no matter how much horsepower they have, which actually corrupts them even more.
It's crazy to think how much horsepower has gone up over the years. The new RS 3 makes almost as much horsepower as the old R8. And the new RS 5 makes more. The current R8 makes almost double the horsepower as the old R8.
@@KOULLIS27 when cars are sold this expensive it's all about the time. My god do you not understand marketing? How many new Ferraris being made manual? Rich people want to talk about 0-60 times what it did on the nurburgring. I get the old school feel of a manual. But that shit is dead. Lol
@@Garage_Distinct_Clips really people spend $300+ on a car and know nothing about them? Well maybe the Saudi people. Lol So why isn't manual popular anymore? What am I missing that you seem to think is sooooo great? I've gave the reasons why it's not. You just reply with weak statement.

Why dont they build Manual Gearboxes like that anymore, this is just the best, pure emotion :)
No, thanks!
too slow
aston martin builds, not the same but manual gearboxes are still available

2:31 that was one smooth slide
The sound is just incredible. What a timeless machine already
i honestly dont agree I think even the f10 m5 sounds better than this
@@captainminecraftist you will be a vast minority with that opinion, but to each their own :)
@@captainminecraftist f10 M5 isn't even close, especially with stock exhaust
@@captainminecraftist F10 is worst sounding M5 ever made.
@@Dodanek1893 exactly my point. Without an exhaust this sounds worse somehow. All i can hear is the whir that any engine has
Manual sportscars, that's what we love to see 🔥🔥
That gearstick is just amazing
That's what she said. eeee haha :D
4:40 we love to see it Max!
Never thought that the V8 would sound as good as the V10
And that pure mechanical gear lever is marvellous
It sounds even better
R8 + manual gearbox = happiness 😍
That metal on metal gated shifting…just bliss.
The Original R8 😍 and look how it redlines above 8k ❤️
This amount of power is extremely useable!
Definitely! So much fun.
I totally agree
WoW that gated manual box. The connection and involvement of driving. AMAZING!

Can you tuned up to 1046hp ?
@@szymon6207 Why are you asking this on every single on of AutotopNL's recent videos lol?
Almost anything can be done provided you have enough money.
This is the mentality that allows them to push the electric scam.

you'd take this over a V10 with the manual??
Completely agree! Who cares about 0-100 it's the fun while driving! And this is the peak imo.
@@papa_pt Yes. The V8 sounds and feels a lot nicer. Plus, the R8 was designed with the V8 in mind (hence the "8" in the name...)
@@papa_pt Any day :)
@@nvl2691 well on sound most people would disagree with you, that V10 sings !! Also no they did that because of the R8 LMP race car
V10 and v8 version of this car both sounds awesome 😍🔊
One of the coolest cars of all time with one of the best sounding V8s of all time.
Change my mind.
Everyone is talking about the manual and how this is real sports car but are we gonna ignore the fact that this is such a beautiful car!?

Driver just casually drifting like it’s a walk in the park 👌🏽
That's not drifting
This car is legendary
Glorious NA power.
This is best audi r8 design ever, one of my fav sportscar.
I love how that gearbox looks like! And the sound when you switch gears
One of my favorite audi's 😍🔥🔥💪💪
Audi R8 will go to one of the best cars in history. ♥️ Especially the first gen with the glorious 4.2 V8 and 5.2 V10 in combination with the 6 speed manual.
Sounds lovely.
V8 R8 is underrated. Obviously it's not extremely powerful and so but the power and fun level is just perfect
This has about as much power as a Cayman 4.0. Thats not nothing, but I see why they built the V10 version and I am eternally grateful for that. This is a nice car, but the V10 Spyder manual is pure magic.
Manual Transmission pure adrenaline 🔥😍
The Best Sounding V8 in the World.😍
A beautiful and forgotten masterpiece like Lexus LFA.
I cannot have a meal,,ANY!! throughout my day without watching some AutoTopNL and this right here is definitely my love language. AUDI R8 babee... love the channel.
The best V8 Audi has ever made.
What?? RS6 would fucking destroy this easy 430NM car, this car has no power, with 430HP should have at least 700NM inside, big sound and no power.
@@pharaon8134, have you ever driven one ?
@@mikeoxmaul_2121 i dont drive 430NM cars, no power there.
@@pharaon8134 RS6 handles like shit big fat 2 ton wagon mate and looks same as A6
Doesn't get more fun than manual sportscars
Absolute dream car of mine, will own one someday
Your drive skill improved .. keep it up 🧣
I had the good fortune of driving a first GEN R8 coupe, and also found it very balanced and easy to oversteer in, at will 👌.
Anybody who compares this car's 0-60 time to a Golf R is NOT a car guy.
And this is why manuals will always be better.
Still one of my favourite cars today! Especially the V8.
I just like the fact that 100 - 200 was exactly 11:11, now thats crazy.
Lol... GOT EM
I have been betrayed
Jeah my birthday date 😅
I thought it was the V10 Version, but I think its got Facelifted, and the manual gearbox is LOVE. One of my favourite Dreamcars
I love the sound of the shifters of gear 🤑🤑🤑🤑
Best v8 sound ever
I think the front design here is much better than the modern one, if they had this front design with today’s rear I think it would be perfect
That beautiful gearbox. The mechanical sound. Demn these will be missed surely.
This car is so clean 😍😍 and will always be. Timeless design!
This car is TIMELESS. I want one i dont care.
Also i think the V8 sounds so much better than the V10 !
Nice driving! 👍
The gearbox is 👌👌.
what a beast. absolutely love it
The sound of gear clutch is lovely 😍
I don’t think the sound is the clutch, it’s the actual shifter
the H pattern lever is so nice ! Amazing car.
One car I don’t see enough of. Friggin love Audi and this was an AMAZING video. Happy Friday bru.
You are just playing real life Forza, living the life, great video and awesome car!
Maan,this is a FUTURE CLASSIC! 😬
will always be beautiful
Damn what a beautiful car!
The Shifting sound is the best Sound From This car xD 😍
Great video. ☺️
Edit: I prefer the sound of the V10 version even though I do like the sound of this V8 version.

i would take this over an R8 V10 automatic
apparently the handling is sweeter as well because it's lighter with a v8
Pure driving and emotion!😍
These older r8’s look better than the new ones imo
That car with a custom exhaust sounds insane
Manual R8 my dream
A man can dream
Well that seemed like a REAL good time!
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!!!
It's sooo pure😍
2:30 so smooth, now i want a r8 spyder too :D
Having a car with gated manual is my dream 😵💫
Thanks Max:)

V8 , CABRIO, manual g-b 😱😍
It's V8
@@TheEryk03 yes 🤭🤭
@Dean Navaro yes thanks 😉 I was thinking to R8 when I wrote so 😅

это потрясающе! словно сам за рулём сидел
I miss these manual supercars
Awesome car. This over any super car
Different video and really liked it.
Nice powerslide Max!
The v8 version sounds really quite different to the v10 plus. I personally prefer the sound of the v10 but this thing sounds great too.
Bet that this thing is 10000x more fun than modern hybrid supercar bullshit no matter how much horsepower they have, which actually corrupts them even more.
Audi ❤️
finally agressive testdrive
N/A V8, manual grid-style gearbox, say no more
I av a mk 1 tt love it but r8 gen 1 is my next car love them
This video made my day. 😁
i love this car
It's crazy to think how much horsepower has gone up over the years. The new RS 3 makes almost as much horsepower as the old R8. And the new RS 5 makes more. The current R8 makes almost double the horsepower as the old R8.
