Congrats on the car. A 2011 R8 was my dream too. I finally bought a 2011 V10 Manual transmission R8 last year. More than I wanted to spend but they won’t be making manual V10’s ever again. If you want an auto R8, get a 2014 or newer. In 2014 they switched from the single clutch R-tronic to the dual clutch S-tronic
I love how everyone in their upper 20’s lower 30’s fell in love with the R8 when they first came out. I still remember where and when I first saw one in real life back in 2009. If you have any guidance or connects with finding deal on these please share. Have been looking for one for a while now.
nice! expecting gated to continue to hold value. Experience shouldn't be too different mechanically though. Glad to hear this was helpful! I recommend checking to see if yours has had carbon cleaning or not
Thought about getting a Gen1 R8, ended up going with a C7 Z06 instead. The interior seemed a bit dated and the V8 is down on power in the modern era, but at least you won't eat the depreciation like me. Plus, its classier.
definitely not a car I would recommend if you don't have a good grasp on where its coming from/history. The older Gen 1s people do all sorts of things to or service out of audi
I’m 20 so this was a dream car for me growing up. Still an awesome car, just seems down on power in the modern era. V10 was bit out of my range or i would’ve done that. The 2014-15 facelift is also nice but carries a premium.
@@TBlake ty! Good to know. I did check carfax and all looks in order. Super clean. Just finished in shop with oil change and service check. Also had a purge valve replaced whatever that may be. Last question and I’ll try to quit bothering you 😂- do these hold their resale value well? In essence if I have it few years and go to sell I won’t be taking too much of a bath so to speak. Ty again. Appreciate the insight.

yep! Gated I expect to hold their value for quite some time.
@@TBlake The one with the S-Tronic aswell?
@@svmoh any gated manual R8 including V8
From that A4 to an R8 inspirational af
coincidentally the A4 was from 2011 as well haha

Love the video as always bro keep it up, I know this is kinda early but what other cars catch your eye next?
for audi would like to go back to TTRS
Awesome video as always! More please 🙏🏽
thanks kieron
I see you as a McLaren man in the coming years
Get an rs3 and go stage 2 you’ll have so much fun 🙂
lol stage 2
I had a TTRS which shares the same engine and really enjoyed that car. The truck makes most sense for me right now though
TY DEMURO!
Ty I’m about to buy a 2011 r8. Any input?
I’m in Miami. They are going for about 100k here.
is it V10 or V8? Spyder? Manual or automatic?
@@TBlake v10 spider convertible. 5.2. Clean looking. 20k miles.
@@Sinaloa_Cartel thats a pretty good price assuming work history is solid

Hey man loved the vid. What state/area are you living in?
new england
Make a vid on the Raptor!
Very nice I love so cars
Dope , how do you feel about Porsches? @Tblake
Most of the GT2 + models hold their value really well long term
@@TBlake I sell Porsches for a living, anything with a manual trans or a GT car is a solid investment.
@@SgtJef yeah manual trans been insane
what color was it originally?
Post more vids!
I love it
🔥
Wow
I've got same r8 but steering wheel on right side and mine is white, and mine doesn't guzzle oil oh I see urs a v8 mines v10

This will be a classic. I hope they can convert that into electric.
