First revealed to the public at the Paris Motor Show, it marked a bold new chapter for Audi, a company better known at the time for understated executive saloons than midengined supercars. Yet here was something altogether different: low, wide, and unmistakably purposeful, with design cues drawn directly from the brand's Audi Sport Team Joest Le Mans prototypes. It didn't just look the part; it had the engineering pedigree to back it up.From launch, the R8 was offered with a range of powertrains and configurations that broadened its appeal beyond the traditional supercar crowd. The early cars featured a highrevving V8, paired with either a gated manual or Audi's R tronic transmission, before the lineup expanded to include the more potent V10 models. Buyers could choose between coup and Spyder variants, rearwheel drive or the marque's famed quattro system, creating a car that could be tailored as much to spirited road driving as it could to everyday usability.But it is the firstgeneration V10 that many enthusiasts gravitate towards, arguably the sweet spot of the range. Sharing its sonorous 5.2litre engine architecture with the Lamborghini Gallardo, the R8 V10 delivered a heady mix of performance and character, with a soaring exhaust note that transformed every drive into an occasion. In 'Sepang Blue', as we have here, the car takes on an even more distinctive presence. The vivid metallic finish accentuates the R8's sculpted side blades and sharp, flowing lines, giving it a sense of movement even when standing still. It's a combination that perfectly encapsulates what made the R8 such a landmark model: supercar performance, everyday usability, and a design that still feels strikingly modern today.This R8 V10 with R tronic transmission comes to market after almost four years with our vendor. It has covered approximately 18,262 miles and is supplied with two sets of keys, its original service book, and a current MOT valid until 17 December 2026. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and more detailed description of this vehicle on our website, which will answer all of your burning questions.
