EXTERIOR

A simply stunning V10 R8 coupe, resplendent in Suzuka Grey and boasting that all-important third pedal. Tastefully spec’d with carbon side blades and mirror casings the car has been further treated to a GT-style carbon rear wing, a piano black front splitter and complementing side skirts – all unmarked. The condition of the paintwork is also first-rate and other than very few light frontal stone chips we’ve been unable to find any notable blemishes or defects. The 19-inch diamond-turned wheels are perfect all round with no kerb marking to report; they are shod in matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres with plenty of tread remaining at each corner.

INTERIOR

Trimmed in all-black Nappa leather the interior is a little more subtle, although much like the exterior of the car it’s awash with glossy carbon fibre. Benefitting from a full carbon interior pack and steering wheel the finish is striking to say the least. Everything presents in brilliant condition including more commonly worn items such as the switchgear, with only some expected light wear to the driver’s outer bolster worthy of note. All the carbon retains a perfect scratch-free shine and the aluminium gear knob and shift gate are excellent. The carpets are spotless and are still protected in the footwells by the original Audi overmats.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

At its heart is the venerable 5.2-litre Audi V10 which, paired with sought after manual transmission, makes for an engaging and thrilling drive. As with the rest of the car, the carbon-dressed engine bay is immaculately presented with no signs of any damage or previous poor repair. The car is accompanied by a fantastic maintenance record with 9 service stamps in the book, the first 2 from Audi main dealers and the remaining 7 from notable marque specialists. The last service was carried out in June 2023 less than 2k miles ago.
