I was really interested to hear if you missed dropping the top or not but you didnt mention that difference at all 😂 The design on gen 1 AND 2 are both timeless and perfect imo. Also white looks classy as hell and the red stripe makes it stand out just enough imo. Love the paint matched blades.

Congrats! I just bought my first R8, a gated V10 manual coupe back in October. She’s a keeper.

Finally. Back with Audi! 👏👏

I would be ruined if I ever drove a GT350 or R8. Your 2018 R8 RWS is a dream.

Love the white on black with the red seats. Just picked up my Lexus RCF with the same look!

Both R8 V10s are my dream cars the Gen1 spyder R Tronic with a stasis or top gear F1 exhaust and the RWS with a Quicksilver exhaust is just craziness💥💥💥

I spent time on the street and the track with several cars and was about to buy a 17 NSX... then I street drove a Lamborghini Evo and I knew I needed a V10. The sound, feel, and redline had me in love. Glad I bought my 17 R8 Plus. R8 club ;) PS Yes, I spent 150k. But 1 owner, 4700 miles, white with the Diamond Stitch Package. 204k msrp. Now it's worth 170k. 🤷‍♂️

How did it appreciate in value? Is it because of covid and used cars going up in value or are people already realizing how solid of a car the R8 will 4ever be

No all cars skyrocketed over the past 2 years especially exotics.

If I had a RWS i would 100% take it to Brandon at B Rogue for a dyno tune and valved exhaust. God I miss my R8, I want another one when the 2020-21 performance models take a hit. Will get one with mag ride and buckets this time no question

I sold my 21 evo spyder and ordered a 22 R8. I am going to twin turbo it. Evo was supercharged. These are way more comfortable and just as fast. Both reliable. Nothing wrong with the R8

Nice ride

Eddie: 2022 Cayman GTS 4.0 6MT vs 2018 R8 RWS, which would you have and why?

Can you do a comparison between your 2018 RWS to 2022 RWD R8.

I am a longtime fan! Eddie, I'm commenting in thanks. Your presence in the VV channel and your presence in your personal channel have comforted me during tough times. Yes I watch for the automotive content; but I watch your channel even more so for the company you provide. I'm weathering a tough time at the moment. I recently stepped out of a position at my last place of business due to logistical issues. Luckily, I requested my performance review (90%). I also have 3 primary references and a letter if intent from a senior employee. My resume is also well developed. I applied to a job and I was referred to the hiring manager. Fingers crossed that I receive an interview. Until then, I'll be watching your channel for the much need laugh, smile, and warm comfort that you provide and have always provided. Your smile is my smile Eddie. Thank you for all that you do - Mike P.S. I love that you drive your vehicle. I own an Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The community tells me to avoid putting miles on the car due to appreciation and it's potential collector status. Eddie, you remind me of the importance of driving my vehicle! I've owned it for a little over a year now and I've added over 19k miles to the clock!

@@EddieX Thank you Eddie. I look forward to sharing the good news with you at some point. Question for you, would you continue to choose the R8 over the new C8 ZO6? Does the C8 ZO6 have supercar performance and appeal? It certainly does. The C8, however, is not an exotic in my eyes. An exotic is predicated on the nomenclature of being "exotic" i.e. few in number. I chose the Alfa 4C over the C8 because I wanted a car of rarity. I would happily choose the R8 over the C8 for the same reason. In a moment's time, we'll see C8s on every corner. As my independent mechanic says, I'd rather have a slow (Ferrari/Lamborghini/McLaren/Audi R8) instead of a fast corvette!

Thats dope!

V10 goodness at a great price point.

planning to order a 2023 R8 RWD, feels like the significance of V10 and R8 being discontinued would really make this car hold value in the long term, and the 175k cad price tag definitely sounds like a bargain

What does Quattro do?

Week 2 … Eddie please review thee Honda Type R ✌️🤙

How did you get such a smoking deal???

Your videos are very informative and the filming is spot on. I have a Gen 1 R8 that revs to 8700 RPM. You said yours is only 8500 RPM. I can't find anything online that says Audi changed it in the Gen 2.

R8 Gen 2 is awesome

Was wondering why no RWS vids since you got it lol. Video came at the right time for me. Just officially started shopping. Was set on a Gen 1. Found a gated v10 spyder (14') but the price is damn near the same as ordering a brand new gen 2 22' RWD Coupe/Spyder. The gated would be nice, but having something newer, with newer tech is enticing (even though I'm sure the gated Gen 1 v10 cars will retain value like crazy.) Still torn.

Your car isn't the reason why Audi dropped the Quattro as the performance branding. They wouldn't do that for a small volume car. They did it for the upcoming electric cars, since none of them will have the Quattro system. AWD via multiple electric motors, yes. Quattro? No.
