The Build Story
The first-generation Audi R8 V8 was the entry point to the R8 range — sharing its platform and V8 with the Lamborghini Gallardo. Mat bought a wrecked example from salvage and documented the full rebuild.
The 4.2L naturally aspirated V8, mid-engine layout, and quattro drivetrain made it a compelling project. Watch the full playlist for every episode of this build.
