This 2010 Audi R8 V10 is an outstanding example with 33,954 miles at the time of cataloging. Finished in Daytona Gray Pearl, it is wrapped in full-car XPel Stealth paint protection film, which gives it a unique matte appearance. The first-generation R8’s signature design element was the deviating “side blades” which are situated behind the passenger compartment. Although you were offered a number of choices when new, there were few that looked as good as the gloss carbon fiber seen on this example. Another unique custom feature on this car is the addition of a set of black basket-weave-style wheels, which were originally from an LP570 Gallardo. These give the car a fantastic, sporting look and pay homage to the R8’s Italian chassis-mate. The original set of 5-Split-Spoke alloys are also included with the sale. The interior is beautiful in its simplicity- with everything you would want in a car laid out in easy reach of the driver. In contrast to some of this era's smaller sports car companies, everything is tried and true Audi technology pulled straight from their high end executive sedans. Sit down into the comfortable and well-builtered driver’s seat, and you are greeted by a flat bottom steering wheel with controls for the stereo and MMI system, laid out in an easy-to-use format. In front of the wheel is an elegant gauge pod featuring a large speedometer and tachometer- that features Audi’s legendary bright white backlighting and red needles. In the center stack, a navigation system has been fitted, and the screen controls the radio and numerous other car features, but the HVAC consists of just 3 simple dials below it that give pleasant and tactile feedback when in use. Seeing as Audi is primarily a manufacturer of luxury cars, the R8 is fitted with everything you would come to expect in a luxury car of the era, including park distance sensors in the front and rear bumpers and heated seats for both the driver and passenger. Powering this R8 is a 5.2-liter FSI V10, which is largely similar to the unit found in the Gallardo LP560-4. The R8 produces 518 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque and is renowned for its outstanding noise as you approach the upper rev range. Although at one point this car was fitted with a EuroCharged twin-turbo kit, it has since been returned to stock. This example is fitted with the coveted 6-speed manual gearbox—with its metal gates, it is a joy to shift and offers that wonderful click-clack in the cabin that evokes classic Ferraris. As with most Audis, the R8 sends power to all four wheels through a Quattro all wheel drive system, giving it surefootedness in all weather and giving you tremendous confidence at speed. A KW v4 coilover suspension has been fitted to this R8 which allows for greater adjustability and does away with the OEM magnetic ride shocks that are known to leak over time. The V10 R8 is the perfect compromise between a supercar and daily driver. It offers all the luxuries of an Audi luxury sedan with the excitement of a screaming naturally aspirated V10. This example is in very good condition throughout and is just waiting to be driven and enjoyed.
