I have added the "Thanks" button (above), small channel donations will help keep me going in 2024 ♥
Sorry, but clickbaiting the video with a dogo on the thumbnail and having no dogo in the actual video is a big no no :(
😂😂😂😂 Sorry buddy, lesson learned ❤️
I agree 😂
The dog was running the camera.
Are you sane, man?
Rather that than a cat licking its nads
Mate you’re not a ‘you-tuber’ you’re a bone fide -car journalist, and one of the very best in the biz, you deserve every success.. 👏
Thank you ❤
That drift around the corner wow 😮
Haha wasn't much tarmac to play with, glad you liked it 👊
Man nothing beats the V10s it’s a shame that era ended. Especially in Europe were big engines roaring are rare
I absolutely love this thing. Actually, love all R8 shapes and forms, will be missed for sure!
What a way to wake up on a Sunday morning - cup of coffee and an R8 screaming through the French Alps. Thanks for sharing Joe, you can really see the extra effort that went into making this film 😀
Thank you, it was an epic few days, but literally didn't stop 😅
What a car and what a road! Thanks for putting the effort in Joe, been following you for several years now and your content is going strength to strength!
Thank you, appreciate the support and kind words buddy!
💯
Nothing like a video in the mountains. Setting for me is everything with these car videos. Well done Joe.
Brilliant video Joe. Stunning scenery and great backing.
Thank you 🙏
Bloody oath! What a car and a what a road… thats legit great stuff you’re pumping out mate, love your work.
What a road... what a machine! Thanks for sharing Joe.
Thanks for watching 👌
Great video!! Great backdrop for an indepth analysis of a car. Like you say, beats taking it to London!! What a car as well 😍
Brilliant video,Amazing car for an amazing scenery.The R8 is truly a fabulous car along with the Porsche 911 gt3.Proper driving machines 🏎️
Another top Vid from one of the most authentic TH-camrs who really delivers for his subscribers - epic car on amazing scenery ! Keep up the great work mate, absolute pleasure to meet you here in Oz
Lovely sound - and love that final sequence :)
What a video! And them long video shot with the exhaust note is a brilliant idea 💡
Cheers buddy, glad you liked it!
That last scene, incredible.
The effort on this video (and others) is much appreciated! Fantastic job, Joe! 😎
Bye, R8...you will be missed, that's for sure.
The experience of driving one of these on those roads are the thing of dreams and you convey the experience very well.
Glad to hear man, that's always my aim 👊
That last 30 second clip is soooooo good !
Enjoyed that. One of the best video's you've done.
The perfect R8 ❤
Amazing video Joe as always!
Thank you 🙏
best car journalist ever
Keep it up Joe, great content as always! It’s crazy the current R8 platform has been around for so long. In my opinion it looks so modern and fresh. Whatever Audi replace it with (if they decide to), it won’t be the same, mainly due to the beloved V10 being absent
Great film again Joe and as a list hurrah to the R8. The GT doesn’t disappoint!
What a noise from the glorious engine.
The stunning roads and great camera/drone work certainly help with making me drool over how amazing it would be to own one of those. Great job. 👌
Thank you buddy 🙏🏽
Great video, nicely observed and filmed. Loved the final shot and soundtrack 👍.
The R8/Huracan V10 is a sound I would never get tired of hearing. I owned two RS3's over a 4 year period and never got bored of the 5 pot anyway.
They sound great to! Baby R8s. I even sometimes find it difficult to tell in some videos!
@@redemptionx2918 yes, with the right exhaust on an RS3 they sound quite similar.
Cracking drive Joe, love it and must drive that road someday!
What a video - thanks Joe. I only watch you, Matt and Pete these days (in that order). The best in the business. Great stuff ;-)
What a day, what a road, what a car!. Living the dream Joe!
Was an epic trip 👌
Another great video Joe, thanks.
petrolhead tours vibes 👌 love it. brilliant video mate, as always
Brilliant closing shot!!! 👊👊👊 Great vid! And what a car!
Stunning location and great content Joe; I have spent lots of time on the roads but in the wrong season. I’d love to take my humble M340i on a trip like that! Ahhh maybe one day!
A great video Joe thank you for the effort..❤ see you next week. ✅
Thank you, see you then 👊
Epic video bro! Looked like you really enjoyed it!
The epitome of success for Audi and it represents the best of ICE cars as we transition to heavy electric vehicles. A future classic right there 🚗☀️
Money well spent on this little trip. Love this car and this is a nice little send off for this really cool final model. Glad I got to sorta come along with you to this road in this car.
Can think of few better send off's for such an icon. Excellent video Joe as per usual and what a car.
Awesome awesome car and drive! Great video....
One of best vids. 💪🏻Car and location wise. Should be used as sample for how to present a car. 👍🏻
I would go for a R8 RWS for a third of this one but of course this is the ultimate R8.
Great vid, great car (will be missed), great videographer- nothing else needed to say! Thanks/Cheers/B
Fantastic video, epic scenery and what a fantastic swansong to the R8. Superb car and I'll be sad to see the R8 discontinued. Great work and thanks for bringing this to our screens!
Thank you!
Amazing car, It’s unfortunate that the R8 is being phased out. Appreciate the video, Joe. Keep it up. Cheers!
Cheers Joe, great to see, thanks.
Great content
Gotta love that V10 👌
Last 5 minutes of negatives.......NO NEGATIVES!!!!! Im so glad I've got to experience my Audi V10+ for 2 years. Its been the pinnacle of my driving career. Amazing AUDI!
Great camera work!
Thanks, it was a full on day 😅
Cracker of a video that joe what a car much rather it than 992 gt3 personally keep it up mate you deserve more views than you get you are one of the best reviewers on the net in my opinion
Loving it Joe. Let me know next time you go on a Euro jolly. I would have loved to come and play. 😂
How the Route des Grandes Alpes, Col de la Bonette, etc. is not absolutely flooded with supercars is totally beyond me. All that development work, yet the cars get stored away, appear on parking lots and inner cities. Everyone too afraid to put any meaninful numbers on the odo. You, Sir, did the right thing and I salute you for that!
Best place on Earth for that car 🤙⭐️👑
Your comment about 20 zones is a very good reason for NOT going to Wales. I too can recommend PHT the best car tour company by far
Great video Joe!
Thank you 👍
@@JoeAchilles1 totally deserved it. You pump your own money to make your video special, you show real passion at the front of your camera and you give a genuine feedback. I’m following you since you had 3k subs. Bought M135i and M2 because of your videos (and I even didn’t like BMW before). And started my channel which also was encouraged by what you do. So thank you 😉 Have fun in the upside down world and hopefully see you one day. Ps, love the podcast
Weather looks great and clear sky and roads look empty compared to your bike trip. What time of the year was this? Done a few road trips to france and Germany and Switzerland in those spectacular places after watching your video and stef ABtv. Keep going😊
Lovely video Joe👍.....a nice sendoff for the r8 shame the paddle shift guy wasn't given a chance for redemption 😞
Thank you!
Here before this hits 100,000 views
Unlikely these days unfortunately 👊
Love it Joe! I wonder if you could get Audi to gift me one?! 😂 😂
Big fan of 50FPS, looks good for car videos!
beautifully done...
Amazing car and an amazing road, I need to go there with my M4 😁
Me: "the french alps are big, I wonder where"
Well, I'm glad I stuck around until the end, thought I was going to have to go searching 😂 epic as usual Joe!
Great video and great car.sad to see this go in the (very) near future. Could you also share the roads where this video was taken?
What a car!
I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. I l like how you’re so tall you make it look like a toy car 😂.
Imagine a final edition with a manual gearbox!🔥
That would have been cool 👌
@SanMarino that open gate 💪🏿💪🏿🚀
amazing car, review and scenery! road names/area/closest towns please?!
Very random, but what phone mount are you using there on the windscreen Joe? Cracking video and stunning road!
Hey buddy, I use the Quad lock suction mount and phone case, incredible system that also has attachments for motorbikes and bicycles etc 👌
Thanks Joe! Again, stunning video, what a location!
It's like the opening scene of the original Italian Job. Just missing Matt Monroe.
i love r8's!!!!!
Nice car that
Joe what is the benefit of shorter gear ⚙️ ratio? Love your channel
Quicker accellerating....the trade off is poorer fuel consumption
Much of the power and torque is high up in the revs in this 5.2L, shorter gearing means you can stay in that sweet spot easier and gain more performance essentially 👌
Where is this road please
Einen R8 habe ich gestern gesehen und fotografiert ich brauche keine Worte für dieses Auto, nur ❤️❤️❤️❤️♉️♉️♉️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You could get a melon up those exhaust pipes😂
£198,333 you have to be kidding, not worth the money, the depreciation will be savage!
They missed the opportunity to put the manual gearbox from the first gen r8, which would makes it even more special given Audi no longer sell new cars with shift stick
I reckon it would definitely be more desired! 😅
Possibly the weirdest question ever, but what are the shoes you’re wearing in the thumbnail?
This was a frustrating watch bro - that weather, that car, and the fact I had to turn up the volume to counter the rain hammering down on the conservatory roof!
Love an R8, it's a Lambo Huracan with more space and less pose! 👊😎
Dieses Auto ist genau so geil wie der Huracan ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
✨❤❤❤😍❤❤❤✨
In Aussie tho !!??
Where in the Alps please Joe?
pretty sure it's Col de la Bonette
@@mountaintourer0713yes exactly!
You being that tall is hard to imagine how you can fit in.
In the beginning you said that Audi has changed the gear ratios, meanwhile at 15:15 you say that Audi Sport has not changed anything. How is that?
I meant Audi hadn't claimed to change software for the gear changes etc
where is the location ?
yes joe cool footage and give us some leads to go there
I say where I am in the video 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 we need a gpx , cant put yr voice into my maps ;-)
@@JoeAchilles1in the middle of the frence alps ... thats a lot to cover 🤣
Oh yes that screaming v10 will be missed😢
Thank God this wasn't filmed in the uk😂
So sad to see the R8 consigned to history particularly because electric cars are the answer they’re being billed to be
Audi should make bigger numbers of these fot half the price, just because they can, petrolheads will be petrolheads forever, they don't want an emotionless car like an EV is.
Once the world goes full electric and these machines are no longer available, it'll truly b a very very sad day, I for one refuse to sell my Ford GT for that reason.
They go for 350k € in Germany … in 2043 this will go for way more…
He is so tall ..... the car looks tiny.
Audi steer must of been pi**ed when coming up with the price of this.
Who in their right mind would spend near £200k on an Audi
Brilliant final variation of an iconic car. All sold. Say no more.
It makes me sad that ICE cars of this generation, with all the drama, soul and character are a dying breed as we move into an EV future.
you are driving on the wrong side of the road
sorry but no Audi can justify a 200k price tag. doesnt matter how rare it is. its an Audi
