Description
This Audi R8 is a thrilling but usable supercar, specified with the rewarding open-gate manual gearbox. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, delivering 414bhp to all four wheels through that six-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows 76,721 miles. The car is finished in Phantom Black with original carbon-fibre side blades, over a black leather and Alcantara-trimmed cabin with carbon-fibre. It rides on a set of 19-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels, wrapped in good Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. Equipment includes passive suspension (so no expensive replacing of magrides, and no hard, badly riding coilovers), a multifunction steering wheel, electrically adjustable seats, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, front and rear parking sensors, a six-CD changer, air conditioning, a deployable rear spoiler, switchable ESP, and retrofitted cruise control. A Kenwood head unit with Android Auto has been installed (informed that apple car play also possible). Accompanying the vehicle is the owner's manuals and service book, two keys, and a collection of invoices. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes (bad bits) include: both rear arches have a small bubble; age-related stone chips; minor age-related wear on the driver's seat bolster; minor scratching on the plastics; the left-side dashboard display has some segments which are dim when the car is cold, though they brighten after around 10 minutes of the car being switched on. The most recent MOT test was on 4th Nov 2024 at 76,720 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories will fly through another. I work away so please be patient with contact and viewing availability, located in Edinburgh at the moment. This breaks my heart to be selling but business opportunity forces sale. I would quite like the option to be contacted if sold on again. This is the best combination of OEM carbon blades and interior, leather and Alcantara seats, ice white clocks (not the aged red) and reliable OEM passive suspension. When I bought it I saw every single V8 manual that was for sale in the UK and bought the best one, other than the head unit is standard.
