The Appeal

Does this look like a fifteen-year-old car to you?

We certainly don’t think so. This R8 looks as contemporary and fresh in 2025 as it did back in 2010. It’s a truly timeless design, and these cars still feel just as modern to drive. An R8 can still claim to be among the most usable supercars ever made.

If you know your Type 42 Audi R8s, you’ll already have clocked this as the one to have. It’s the coveted V8 FSI model with the Graziano six-speed gated manual gearbox - perhaps the most analogue and visceral of the original R8s.

Our 2010 car has completed a mere 49,674 miles and has benefited from full Audi main dealer service history. Its sleek lines are highlighted by the glossy Phantom Black, while that sense of drama continues elsewhere thanks to an Akrapovic sports exhaust system.

Here’s a 911-slaying mid-engined manual supercar you could actually justify using every day. That’s dream car territory for us, so if you’re in a position to make this Audi R8 your own, be sure not to miss this excellent opportunity.
