Don't think Audi will be to anxious to loan Harry another any time soon, but I believe his critique is spot on.

That fake intake grill behind the window ahead of the gas cap is egregious. Screams new edge mustang

[felixarbable]

the first r8 looked so much nicer, especially the headlights. all these fake grills, odd noises, fake exhasts and wierd things manufacturers do these days is really a shame. form seems to be preeceeding function and both seem to loose

Great review as always, Harry's speaking the raw truth

[yetidh]

Love the limp handshake comparison :-) Great stuff as usual! Thank you!

There isn't a car reviewer on YouTube who is as engaging as Harry Metcalfe. Another brilliant review.

Harry is right on the money as usual... Oooof! False grilles and 'Heartbeat'? ...GROW UP AUDI!

"Limp sweaty hand" haha, thanks Harry that was gold. Great review as always.

My dad owns an 2007 R8 V8 manual, bought about 8 years ago. Great car to drive, reliable, nice feedback (yes a gt3 is better) and comfortable enough to drive long distances. Drove the Stelvio last year, did Munich and Austria this year.

I am happy Harry calls out designers for fake grills and exhaust tips fake noises etc. It is just unacceptable and cheapens any sporting pretentions of a car. I will not consider a car with any of that fake garbage. Ruins the car.

Limp, sweaty hand shake. Great start to a review

Great review, really speaks to marketing decisions that on paper sound good but in the real world don’t deliver.
I was surprised to hear the v8 is related to the v10. I thought the v10 was a pure Lamborghini carry over and not the other way around.
Either way the early manual V8’s are the ones to have, more dramatic, dynamic and slower in a good way.

Funny, just as I was thinking that the first-released R8 had the most stunning looks, you went ahead and said the very same thing... VW also regressed aesthetically with the Touareg / Golf... Why do companies have to endless fiddle until nothing is left but soul-less straight-lines a faux-aggression... Knowing when to stop is the secret to great art.

I want to thank you, Harry, for consistently producing real reviews, without even a whiff of sales promotion. A very rare, if not unique, resource for car lovers everywhere.

[Rodisflawless]

The heck is that "heartbeat" noise?

[iamjesper]

nice camera placement to hide your speedometer haha, great review anyway

[on_wheels_]

Completely agree with your design remarks. Always liked the original one, the first and only truly sympathetic Audi ever, IMHO. Especially since it had such a petite face. They've ruined that now.

[Bryan-fgey]

Give any car to Harry to use for a week and his review is all you need to know about the car.
Job done.

I would not be surprised if values of previous models of the R8 (and the Porsche Boxster/Cayman) hold their values as many owners prefer driving them more than current cars.

Dear Harry, we are dying for a review on the f355 manual. By the way, thanks for your channel, a true one and greetings from Spain.
