The Appeal
"Supercars are tricky. All the things that make them great on sunny days in the Tuscan hills make them utter pigs in Shepherd’s Bush on a dark, wet Wednesday. They steam up. They pop. They bang. They growl. They won’t fit through gaps. You can’t see out properly. And they are uncomfortable.
"The R8, though, has always been different. It feels normal. The cockpit is big. Everything is where you expect it to be and it all works. It can traverse speed humps without leaving 40% of its undersides behind. It’s quiet. It’s unruffled."
- Jeremy Clarkson on the R8 V10 5.2 FSI S Tronic, 2013
As he so often does, Mr Clarkson has hit the nail on the head with the R8. It's not your usual supercar, the sort of vehicle that doesn't work in the real world. The R8 was something entirely new and remains unique for that very reason to this day. That's why it has earned a spot on your driveway.
This would be a great example to buy. This 2013 V10-engined R8 comes with full service history and just 58,000 miles under its belt. The car has been subject to copious recent maintenance, including a service less than 1,000 miles ago, with new front suspension struts and rear brake pads. With an MOT until June 2025, this sensible supercar is ready for a new custodian.

Sensible supercar it may be, but that doesn't mean the R8 looks any less dramatic. Resplendent in red and adorned with custom matte black metallic racing decals, wing mirrors, and roof, this car really looks the part. As you will observe in the photographs, it looks very indeed and with so few miles on the clock, this R8 has accrued very little in the way of wear.
The Mechanics
- 5.2-litre V10
- Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
- Quattro four-wheel-drive system
- Recent service, including oil and filter change for the S Tronic gearbox
- New front suspension struts and rear brake pads installed in June 2023
- Recent vacuum pipe replacement in July 2023
- Air conditioning serviced in May 2022
With 525 horsepower sent to all four wheels via the super-capable Quattro system and lightning-fast S Tronic gearbox, this is a seriously quick machine. As many road testers found out, Jeremy Clarkson included, these are supremely usable cars that could readily be driven every day. Recently serviced and complete with a long MOT, this example is ready to enjoy.
