29K V10, ICE SILVER, CARBON BLADES, MAJOR SERVICE, CLUTCH CHECKED.
2012 Audi R8 5.2 FSI V10 quattro R tronic finished in Ice Silver Metallic with carbon fibre side blades, Audi 19-inch V10 alloy wheels, Bang & Olufsen sound and just 29,179 miles.
This is the first-generation V10 R8 I had been waiting to bring into The Vertex Collection. Three previous owners, garage-kept, enthusiast-owned and beautifully preserved, it has the colour, mileage and ownership feel that made it worth waiting for.
Condition is exceptional. Ice Silver shows the shape honestly, and this car presents with superb depth, crisp body lines and beautifully kept carbon side blades. The wheels retain the original stance, while the leather cabin, aluminium detailing and main touch points remain remarkably fresh.
Behind the cabin sits the reason this era matters: Audi’s naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10. It is civilised at lower speeds, then builds into that unmistakable V10 howl as the revs rise. The R tronic gearbox rewards the correct rhythm, while quattro traction and a beautifully tight chassis make the performance genuinely usable.
The car is accompanied by an extensive maintenance record showing Audi main-dealer care from early in its life, followed by continued servicing throughout its enthusiast ownership.
The Vertex Collection has now completed a major service including engine oil and filter, engine air filters, pollen filter, spark plugs, R tronic gearbox service and differential oil. Clutch-wear readings were measured and confirmed within tolerance, followed by a diagnostic health check, full inspection and extended road test.
Specification includes carbon side blades, Bang & Olufsen audio, heated leather sports seats, navigation, Bluetooth, climate control, parking assistance, paddle shift and electric rear spoiler.
A hand-selected, low-mileage V10 R8 that looks, feels and drives exactly as the car I wanted representing Vertex.
