General Description
The Audi R8 has earned its place as one of the most thrilling and iconic supercars of the modern era. When it first arrived in 2006, Audi’s bold entry into the high-performance world turned heads. Based on the sleek Audi Le Mans Quattro concept and sharing its platform with the Lamborghini Gallardo, the R8 was Audi’s way of showing it could compete with the best. With a roaring 4.2-litre V8 engine producing 417 hp, the first-gen R8 could go from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. It wasn’t just fast, though – it was reliable and dependable, making it a standout in a supercar world often plagued by temperamental machines.
But the R8’s story didn’t end there. In 2009, Audi raised the stakes with a new 5.2-litre V10 engine, cranking out 525 hp. By 2010, the convertible R8 Spyder hit the streets, offering wind-in-your-hair excitement to complement its blistering speed. Audi kept refining its supercar, unveiling the second generation in 2015 with even more power, sharper handling, and striking good looks. The V10 Plus version, boasting 601 hp, became a track-ready machine.
In 2017, Audi released the R8 RWS, a limited-edition rear-wheel-drive variant, offering a more playful, raw driving experience. With only 999 units produced, it quickly sold out, but Audi wasn’t done with the idea of a rear-wheel-drive R8 just yet.
The true evolution came in 2021 with the R8 V10 Performance. This masterpiece is now lighter, sharper, and more exhilarating than ever, available in either rear-wheel drive or the sought-after Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine producing 570 PS (562 hp), the R8 V10 Performance is a driver’s dream. Its razor-sharp handling, enhanced by adaptive suspension and electromechanical steering, makes it a beast on the track, while its stunning design ensures it turns heads everywhere. Audi took everything great about the R8 and dialed it up, creating a supercar that is as thrilling to drive as it is to look at.
About this specific vehicle
This Audi R8 V10 Performance in Kemora Grey is a statement on the road, a supercar that combines its aggressive design with advanced engineering with seamless precision. From the first glance, it’s clear this machine is built to perform. The low roofline, wide stance, and Mythos Black side blades give it an assertive presence, while the carbon-fibre rear spoiler and vast air intakes hint at its track-bred capabilities. It’s not just about aesthetics, though – this car is engineered to dominate both the road and track, too.
At its heart is a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine, producing a staggering 612 bhp. Paired with Audi’s precise 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, it launches from 0 to 62 mph in a blistering 3.1 seconds. But the numbers alone don’t tell the full story. It’s the visceral experience of the V10 roaring to life, the immediate response from the throttle, and the confidence that comes from Audi’s all-wheel-drive system that make every drive in this particular car unforgettable.
Inside, the cabin strikes a perfect balance between passenger comfort and performance. Black Fine Nappa leather with diamond stitching provides the luxury element, while the red push-to-start button on the flat-bottomed steering wheel is a constant reminder of this car’s focus on performance. The cockpit is a blend of carbon fibre and Piano Black inlays, designed for both aesthetics and functionality. Every control is intuitively placed, with the 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit putting vital information, navigation, and entertainment only a glance away.
It’s the finer details that elevate the R8 V10 Performance, though. From the Audi Sport logo illuminating the ground as you open the door, to the 20-inch Audi Sport 5-V-Spoke Evo Design alloys with diamond-cut rims in Matt Titanium, this car is as much about craftsmanship as it is about speed. And with its low mileage and pristine condition – further complemented by the generously applied Xpel PPF to the bonnet, front bumper, side skirts, wing mirrors, front and rear arches, as well as the rear spoiler – all surfaces remain as new, with little or no wear visible as to be expected from such a lightly used example.
In summary this 2022 Audi R8 is an immaculate example of a well maintained supercar that delivers an exceptional driving experience – and includes a plethora of extras to boot. It offers luxury, performance and great design, making it an ideal supercar that is able to be used everyday, making it an icon in its own right.
