My first test drive as part of the hunt to find my next car and Tony arranged for us to go check out an Audi R8 V10 Plus. As amazing as it was, it had some downsides which mean it might not be the perfect replacment for the F-Type.

This is what happens when you spend a lot of time around super cars on a daily basis: you become calloused, numb, less-excited and simply bored. It happens to all of you guys - look at Salomondrin, Shmee, etc., always wanting something new! Stop for a moment and relish the fact you are driving the greatest cars ever made in the history of automation - your comment of been bored after 6 months driving a 2016 R8 V10 plus and a Porsche 911 Turbo "boring".....really!!! I think you need to buy a car outright, not lease, and you will have more pride of ownership.

Freely and often admit this mad world of KZread means we become numb to cars. Unbelievably fortunate to be around amazing cars on frequent occasions but I never take it for granted. Even in this video, I mention a number of times that I realise how lucky I would be to own a car like this and how incredible it is, but I have to be realistic to myself. This is the world I now live in. Why settle and not work hard to get something you really love. Lots of cars out there that make my spine tingle from £5,000 up to £500,000 and beyond, just about finding the right one for me

He's right, plus it's not very reliable and the bills are absolutely bonkers. The increadible suspension might be incredible when it's working, but when it goes bad it's a 35.000$ bill. New battery? 3.000$, any of the interior electronics? too bad, they hardly make them any more so you'll have to replace it with (brand new) S650 stuff, which means sky high prices again. It's not a problem when the car is under warranty but when it's not it is an absolute money pit. Ever wondered why the 12C depreciates like a falling brick? This is why.
There's one of these (in yellow) in my work's car park and it looks and sounds amazing... go for it!

Sam, I wish you had an idea of what it was like for me to see you literally drive past my house on your videos through Harrietsham and use my daily roads. Its so strange!! This is by far, THE best review style video series already. The idea of using Tony to help and your limitless enthusiasm and charisma really make this an essential watch.. Its captivating. I don't think anyone else makes the watcher feel so involved as you mate.. Love it.. Cannot ruddy wait for Wednesday and Sunday and I am genuinely bursting with excitement as to seeing what you choose. My thoughts on the R8 are probably the same to be honest. Its EPIC and something me and many others would love to upgrade to but there is a huge element of familiarity about it and if you are looking for something 'special' is the R8 special enough? Possibly not, but a properly strong contender none the less. You'd be a long time getting board I would think. Best of luck mate..

Audi has managed to make a good car. But also to make a mid engine supercar almost as boring as a station wagon. It´s the most boring mid engine supercar ever made along with the Honda NSX. Try a Ferrari 599 GTB. Not mid engined, but a V12 Ferrari.

The only part of the video that wasn't annoying and you bang an advert right in the middle. Well done.
The noise when you're driving over bumps comes from the bearing between the chassis and the suspension. I believe youre referring to the same issue that the S3 with magnetic ride has. After Audi swapped the bearings of the rear suspension, the noise was gone.
I literally live just around the corner from this!!
I bought one of these in June 21 and bloody hell it's amazing! Unfortunately I've driven it once in about 6 weeks and only because I'm too busy 😢
Hahaha so fun to hear you two laugh and scream to the acceleration haha! Great fun!! :)
In my opinion get it it's an absolute headturner and it's good for the money so I think this is your type of at colour etc! STG...Buy this car you'll love it
the gearbox makes it worth the money. lightning quick and sounds amazing
I've been waiting for R8!
I know you want something a little newer but if you get an F430 with a manual, you will have a hell of a car and a hell of an investment piece! Not to mention that it'll fit you well!
What was your car(Abarth) doing driving around in Staffordshire this morning? was behind you and saw the car pull over but it wasn't you driving! looking forward to seeing the vid if there is one
What a great car this is Sam.
Would you consider getting another F-Type in the form of an SVR?
Get an AMG GT ,you Paul and Shmee 150 could start a a AMG car club .
Get it Sam!! Such a beast
I keep coming back to this video, 0:05-0:23 is so beautifully shot with the music #R8
The other guy's emotions at 7:50 are priceless
I would say you should take a look at the Jaguar F-type SVR. My friend had his delivered a few months ago now and it really takes a great car in the F-type and make it into a supercar. Defiantly worth a look if you have not considered one yet.
would fuel consumption be okay like Paul's previous lamborghini or would it drink petrol?
Love the orange on that new face R8, gorgeous.. are there no 540 or 570 used models under 140k you can find?
do right handed cars have the indicators/wipers reversed as well or are those the same layout as left hand cars?
Your test series is a good think Most of my friends don't drive the car before they buy!!! It is impossible for me i test 5 cars for my next one last month Have good choice the R8 can be a good one!!!
What a great car Sam! Obviously do try more cars first😉👌🏻
