Description
For sale is my 2008 Audi R8 4.2L V8 manual in phantom black pearl & carbon side blades with just over 50k miles.
I recently did an 800 mile road trip around Wales in this car, and it didn't miss a beat! I'm unfortunately selling this due to needing to put money into our house, and after the road trip felt like the right time.
The paintwork is in good condition: it had a Gtechniq ceramic coating applied in July 2023, and since owning the car I've exclusively used Gtechniq cleaning products. There are a handful of age related marks: stone chips to the front bumper, and a couple of door dings. The carbon fibre side blades are in excellent condition, and the wheels & tyres are also in excellent condition.
Additional extras:
- Bang & Olufsen Sound System
- Audi R8 bucket seats
- Apple CarPlay (wired via USB connection & wireless) with an aftermarket head unit which makes a big difference using the car day to day
- No magride suspension! This is an expensive item to replace at 2,000 GBP per corner, and frequently fail, so not having them is a big bonus
- Front & rear parking cameras and rear parking sensors. To be transparent, in the past month the rear camera has been temperamental and works ~20% of the time. I believe this is simply a corroded connection as the camera works absolutely fine when it does work! This should be simple to look at in the next service.
- Extended warranty through Warranty Solutions Group that is valid until 31/07/2026. It's the silver warranty with a claim limit of 3,000 GBP per claim - , with additional cover for: Flywheel inc. wear & tear, Injectors, Oil seals &
Gaskets, Sensors, Steering locks & steering
ECU. Note: this only covers failures and not wear & tear, with the exception of the flywheel. I can transfer this to a new owner at a cost of 25 GBP (I'm happy to cover this)
