The Appeal

Think Audi just build four-door family cars? Think again.

The R8 was Audi's groundbreaking mid-engined, two-seater sports car. Using the firm's world-famous Quattro drivetrain and huge V10 engined shared with Lamborghini, the R8 is often cited as one of the best-driving cars made this century - let alone to come from Audi.

The R8 Spyder went on particularly well. And while critics worried the lack of roof would compromise the handling and performance, Audi dispelled any doubts with the final product which was totally uncompromising dynamically, not to mention a whole lotta fun to drive.

This 2011 R8 Spyder has recently arrived in the Netherlands from the UAE. Looking to be in good condition and with all import charges reportedly paid, it's ready to be registered in your EU country of choice.
