This Audi R8 V10 is an example of the lauded modern supercar, with a sleek Ibis White finish and a vocal switchable valved Capristo exhaust system. In the seller’s own words: “This exceptional vehicle has been pampered and serviced exclusively at the nation's most esteemed R8 service centre”. The car boasts a comprehensive history of maintenance, including a full front-end Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation, ensuring that it remains in pristine condition. It is powered by a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10, delivering an impressive 397kW and 540Nm of torque to all four wheels through a slick-shifting seven-speed S-Tronic automatic transmission with paddle shifters. This R8 was personally imported from the UK to Australia by its current owner, who has now been in possession of the car for 18 months. The car is noted to have covered approximately 59,900 km from new. The seller welcomes inspections of the car prior to bidding, if desired. This early example of the second-generation Audi R8 is finished in the Ibis White, with gloss black side blades over a black leather-trimmer interior with quilted seat centres. It rides on the correct set of 20-inch twin 10-spoke black-painted alloy wheels, which house black RS-branded brake callipers, and are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres. Equipment includes electrically adjustable and heated seats with quilted centres, automatic air conditioning, the Audi Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster, a starter button, a heated rear screen, USB and auxiliary inputs, satellite navigation, electric mirrors, cruise control, rear parking sensors with a reversing camera, a flat-bottom multifunction steering wheel and an electronically adjustable rear spoiler. It has also been fitted with a switchable valved Capristo X-Pipe exhaust system, a front paint protection film (PPF) wrap, and a Maxton front splitter and side skirts. An Apple CarPlay/Android upgrade is also noted to have been installed, which is pictured and has 2023 Australian Maps updated and equipped. The vehicle will be supplied with its original owner’s manuals, an impressive selection of maintenance invoices, and the original tool kit. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the paintwork remains in excellent condition, as the entire front end was professionally wrapped with PPF by REPerformance in Yorkshire shortly after it was delivered new. The car's underbody is completely free from rust, underscoring its exceptional condition and durability. The seller also notes: The car's glass is pristine, devoid of any cracks, chips, or scratches, and the accompanying trims are all in impeccable condition. The carbon door mirrors are likewise unblemished. The seats are remarkably well-preserved, exhibiting no signs of wear or damage, and the carpets, with their deep black pile, show no indications of wear either. The dashboard is free from damage and wear, with all switchgear operating flawlessly. The steering wheel and gear selector appear virtually brand new, showcasing the vehicle's meticulous care over the years. The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in November 2023, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This R8’s most recent service was carried out in November 2022 at 55,366 km by REPerformance in the United Kingdom. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the washer fluid and the windscreen wipers. Prior to this, the car was serviced in 2021 by REPerformance. The seller notes that all four tyres were replaced during their ownership. It features a thorough maintenance record since the car was first purchased; and the next owner has the peace of mind that all original Audi documentation, including the service schedule, owner's manual, and warranty information, is included with the vehicle. This Audi R8 is a well-presented and relatively low-mileage example of the acclaimed V10-powered supercar, with a stylish factory colour scheme and vocal Capristo exhaust system. While it may now benefit from a routine service given the time elapsed since its last, it would make an exhilarating weekend toy, which will likely turn heads wherever it is driven.
