80+ pics on website, UK delivery 2010 AUDI R8 V10 SPYDER GATED MANUAL Coveted Sepang Blue - 36000 Miles Full Carbon - Fabspeed Exhaust Full-Service History & MOT OV60 YBN First registered and pre delivery inspected by Paragon Audi oxford, specified extremely well, complete with a full-service record consisting of nine services a mixture of dealer and recognised specialists, its wanted for nothing. Just had a fresh MOT and battery, all tyres are premium, the car is on point ready for use. A thick folder of bills accompany, inclusive of a new clutch & flywheel for peace of mind. The standard specification is obviously high for the flagship model, with heated seats, Bang & Olufsen hi-fi and rear camera. This one further benefits from complete carbon pack, the essential 20 " diamond cut alloys, and a flat bottom wheel. An aftermarket Fabspeed sports exhaust system has been fitted which bring the V10 Lambo engine to life, sounding absolutely incredible. I am no stranger to this model having one of my own in the stable for over three years, in exact same colour and specification, and its stayed there for the reason that in this price range there is nothing realistically that touches it, you cannot get better. Exotic Italian engine, gated manual V10 all the while doing that wind in your hair thing, sure it's a bit of a poser's car, and what's wrong with that? This isn't no dress rehearsal. Also, I think the first gen R8s are arguably the best looking of the series and have stopped depreciating now. Its not just a one-dimensional car, though is very, very fast and extremely capable, which ticks the first box... The engine is stuff of legend, seamlessly blurring shifts and acceleration into one thrilling crescendo, the enduring highlight that remains is the naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 Lamborghini engine coupled to a slick weighted gated shifter that one never tires of throwing, the 8500 rpm limit is almost bike like, coupled to a sense of solidity to the R8's construction with no nasty shudders or wobbles even when attacking properly evil stretches of British B-road. The harder you drive the Spyder, the more you realise why features like dynamic steering, and magnetic dampers are required to contrive that sense of agility, it's a big car, but manages not to feel so on turn in. Summary The V10 1st gen Spyder is the most underrated car of its type, but it simply has to be fitted with the manual gearbox, because then it driving nirvana.
