Just curious....how tall are you? You look like you had to squeeze in there with your knees significantly bent.

@8:32 what are the negatives? ( see previous segment)

Saw one in this same color at the carwash today...I was in my 2016 S550 Mustang GT...and I must say this R8 was the best looking foreign car there...but My Mustang GT was the best looking American car there.

Best review I've seen for this car. Keep it up!

How did you get the cup holder lid to open all the way??? Mine opens to about 70 degrees and stops

I took delivery of my R8+ 5 weeks ago. This car is awesome!!!

[swanblake]

amazing video although I wish you guys would film moving shots of the car. Seyth is a handsome fellas but I would like to see the exterior of the cars in motion as well

[blazzigante]

Something is wrong with your math. 189900+5000+19000+15000 can not be 202000.

Sorry but who in his right mind would go for a 570S instead?!

[jlo]

I would buy it. But the engine sits a bit to the left. Fucks it up for me. ;)

Nice video, but in Brasil, i lived in hear, the version more simple, have the value of R$1.000.000, 00 (reais) equivalent the U$ 285.714, 30 (dollars) I love My coutry (fuck)

[jackblack]

Look like he was driving throw Detroit

I think the new exterior is ugly than old model. If Audi will show us old model exterior with new interior, I' d like it.
