Well-maintained with a strong history, the car drives exactly as it should with no issues. The interior is in excellent condition, reflecting the mileage, and all features operate as intended.
The R8 V10 Plus is one of those rare machines that makes almost everything else on the road feel ordinary. In this specification the Plus, with 610 horsepower drawn from a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 it remains one of the last great arguments for the high-revving combustion engine in an era increasingly defined by turbochargers and electrification.
The soundtrack alone justifies the purchase. At full throttle, the V10 builds to a shriek that is unlike anything produced by a turbocharged car raw, mechanical, and completely addictive. It is the kind of noise that stays with you long after you have parked the car.
Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system means the performance is accessible in a way that many mid-engined supercars simply are not. The 0-62 time of 3.2 seconds is delivered with surgical precision rather than drama which, depending on your disposition, is either its greatest strength or its only weakness.
Those who want the car to communicate more will find it does, particularly on a flowing road where the chassis balance and the steering begin to reveal what lies beneath the composed exterior.
As a daily supercar, it is without equal. Visibility is good, the ride is acceptable, and the interior is thoroughly well resolved. This is a car you can drive every day and never tire of.
Second generation R8 values have settled. The V10 Plus, in particular, represents the definitive version of the car and the market reflects that.
