Audi R8 5.2 V10 Manual For Sale
A rare opportunity to own one of the increasingly sought-after Audi R8’s - a 2012 R8 V10 with the 6-speed manual gearbox.
The R8 is a genuinely special modern sports car, combining supercar performance with Audi’s reputation for engineering, build quality and everyday usability. The naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 is the real star of the show, delivering a fantastic soundtrack and a linear, responsive power delivery that feels increasingly unique in today’s turbocharged and hybridised performance-car market.
This example is equipped with the 6-speed gated manual transmission, making it particularly desirable to enthusiasts. The open-gated shift mechanism, naturally aspirated V10 and Quattro four-wheel-drive system give the R8 a character that is becoming exceptionally difficult to replicate in a modern car.
Having been owned by its current owner for the past few years, it has been looked after and maintained meticulously whilst in storage with ourselves. Looking at the condition of what is now hard to believe a 14 year old car, you’d think it rolled out of the showroom very recently. It also benefits from a Capristo valved exhaust system which gives a great enhancement to the well renowned V10 and has front end PPF. The standard exhaust is also available if desired to switch back to the cars stock form. In addition, within the last 3 months the car has been into Audi for a fresh bill of health having a refresh of suspension carried out under warranty along with some attention to the front and rear brakes.
Also with a very well routined service history, it has had maintenance carried out at the following intervals:
Truro Audi - 25/06/13 - 715 miles
Aylesbury Audi - 03/02/14 - 1,421 miles

One of the great strengths of the R8 is that it doesn't demand the compromises associated with many exotic cars. The cabin is beautifully engineered, visibility is good for a mid-engined sports car, and the car has a level of refinement and usability that makes it perfectly possible to enjoy regularly.
That combination of supercar performance, Audi build quality, Quattro traction and genuine usability is a big part of why the R8 has developed such a strong reputation. This is also a car from an era when performance cars were still relatively analogue: naturally aspirated engine, manual gearbox, physical controls and a direct connection between driver and machine.
With a newer addition now in ownership, after a very tough decision the owner has decided now is the time to find a new home for this exceptional car.
