Description
WheelBase is pleased to present this Audi R8 4.2 FSI V8 quattro, a true everyday supercar that represents a high-water mark for naturally aspirated performance. This highly desirable example features the ultimate enthusiast specification: a tactile 6-speed open-gate manual gearbox. Paired with a high-revving, mid-mounted 4.2-litre V8 engine delivering 420 PS, this gearbox provides an incredibly engaging, mechanical driving connection that is increasingly rare today. Power is deployed via Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system, ensuring phenomenal all-weather grip and stability.
This R8 benefits from a great service history, reflecting a lifetime of meticulous care and maintenance. Its iconic styling is defined by the lightweight aluminum space frame, an aggressive cab-forward silhouette, and distinct sideblades. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit is a sanctuary of premium German engineering, featuring Fine Nappa leather sports seats, automatic climate control, and a flat-bottomed leather steering wheel.
Capable of launching from 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds while making an unforgettable mechanical V8 soundtrack, this R8 bridges the gap between raw racing pedigree and daily usability. Riding on 19-inch alloy wheels and equipped with a speed-activated rear spoiler, it delivers immense road presence. For the discerning driver or collector, a manual V8 R8 with a documented service history offers a compelling package of pure driving purity and strong future investment potential.
