My Audi R8 has GONE!

Compare the best brand-new & used automobile handle :

It's time for Mat to say goodbye to his Spyder!

He's been running this drop-top supercar for nearly 9 months now, but regretfully, the time has actually come for it to return to .

The list of everyday chauffeurs that Mat has actually run in the past is definitely amazing. From a Porsche 911 & BMW M5 CS through to an RS6 & AMG G63, it's a list of and trucks that needs no intro whatsoever. The question is, can the R8 compare with these supreme makers?

Well, in this video, Mat will go through all the good & bads he's revealed with this automobile. From how unbelievable the marvelous 5.2-litre is, through to tiny details like the lack of ISOFIX points, he'll cover everything concerning this supercar!

If you could choose his next day-to-day motorist, what would you pick? Let us know in the comments!

      The soft limiter turns off, as soon as you do what the car is build for, driving and not disturbing your environment.

      The bad launches seem to be an issue with the gearbox shifting too early or late. the “good stuff” does not have a noticeable impact on how the car performs. it does aid in engine health especially in bigger engines like these as it lowers the risk of engine knocking so he should still be buying it.

    These cheap shiftpaddels confuse me. Audi has original full aluminium paddels in the RS6 and RS7 part number is 4K0951523F and i retrofitted them into my 2.0 tdi a4 😀 And they would just work plug and play in the R8…

    My Golf convertible does the same heater trick. When you lower the roof, it remembers the last heater settings you had with it down, hot or cold! Brilliant. 👍👍

    youve launched the car in manual mode every race, then it forced itself to shift, unlike the launches that worked the dash said M1S which means the gearbox is in sport, in the launches that have bugged you it was in M1(you need to shift the car) and then when you redlined it the gearbox shifted itself to M2S

      Agreed that is what it looked like to me too. Short shifted into second, probably because all four wheels span up.

      yup, the green “shift up arrow”, which would only appear in manual mode is right there, what other cues are needed? he’s done this with other cars as well in previous videos, they all magically “get bogged down” in a drag race…

    The R8 is such a special thing. Perfect combination of understated design with an absolute gem of an engine. It’ll be sorely missed.

    As for a new daily driver, if it’s another convertible, probably either a Mercedes-AMG SL 63 or an Aston Martin DB12 Volante.

    Ever since I was a kid I liked that kind of sound way more than the high revving, high-pitched Ferarri kind of sound.

    I’ve owned a V10 Plus for three years. You didn’t XPEL (ppf) protect, you aren’t putting premium fuel in, and you are under valuing an average of 17MPG on a V10. You should launch in sport, not performance. Performance mode takes traction control off. The carbon ceramics grind at slow speeds. If you clean it, the surface needs to be properly lubricated or you will scratch it. Most of your complaints are your errors (respectfully). I replaced my paddles with carbon fiber ones, but agree with the plastic paddles. The reverse camera is garbage, agree. You are putting S class expectations on an entry level super car. Love your spec (mine is Nardo). I wish you’d actually read this.

      I bet he didn’t ppf it, or put premium gas just because it wasn’t his, so he didn’t want to add his own money that wouldn’t come back. If this was his I think he would do all those things.

      You say you owned the car and I do no think Mat owns these cars. Correct me if I am wrong. Some people want to own a car and some people just want to drive a car. There is also a difference in how people take care of a car and when you have to “give it back” you obviously care less. Same as if you own a house or if you rent one if you ask me.
