Description
This 2008 Audi R8 V8 Gated Manual, finished in stunning Daytona Grey, is an exceptionally special example of Audi’s first-generation supercar. Featuring the highly desirable 6-speed gated manual gearbox, naturally aspirated V8 engine, and timeless styling, the R8 offers a truly analogue supercar experience that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The car benefits from a full service history and is supplied with 2 keys, with approximately £10,000 of optional extras from new. This example is presented in immaculate condition, having been exceptionally cherished by its previous owner and never used in the rain, making it an exceptionally rare opportunity for the collector or enthusiast looking for an outstanding example.
The specification includes the highly desirable carbon fibre side blades and carbon fibre interior inlays, perfectly complementing the Daytona Grey exterior. Inside, the car features the premium Bang & Olufsen sound system and Audi Navigation Plus, while front and rear parking sensors provide useful assistance when manoeuvring.
Lighting is upgraded with LED headlights with headlight washers, adding both modern functionality and a distinctive appearance. Importantly, this example is not equipped with Audi Magnetic Ride, which can be considered a significant advantage for long-term ownership given the known complexity and potential repair costs associated with the system.
The combination of V8 power, rear-biased quattro four-wheel drive, and the legendary gated manual transmission makes this R8 one of the most engaging and increasingly collectible modern supercars. With immaculate presentation, exceptional provenance, a highly desirable specification, and its incredibly limited availability in gated manual form, examples of this calibre are becoming increasingly sought after.
The vehicle is supplied with 6 months warranty for added peace of mind. Finance options are available from 8.9% APR, making this exceptional R8 more accessible, with UK delivery available.
A truly rare opportunity to acquire an immaculate V8 gated-manual R8 in one of Audi’s most desirable colour combinations. With its analogue character, exceptional condition, and increasing rarity, this is a car that is not only an incredible supercar to drive but one with genuine future classic and collector appeal.
