Every enthusiast's dream car list should have the Audi R8 with a manual gearbox, which was only offered during the supercar’s first generation. The Four Rings sold the do-it-yourself transmission with the mighty V10 engine as well, but this video highlights a V8 version with its 4.2 FSI. The engine sends power to both axles thanks to a Quattro system linked to the hugely desirable gated manual shared with the Lamborghini Gallardo.
Mounted behind the seats, the naturally aspirated eight-cylinder mill produced 424 horsepower and 317 pound-feet (430 Newton-meters) of torque beginning in 2010 as the older cars had 10 fewer horses. Few driving scenarios seem more enjoyable than driving an Audi R8 with a gated manual on an unrestricted section of the Autobahn. Flat out, the mid-engined machine carrying the fabled Four Rings hit 163 mph (263 km/h) without breaking any laws.
