Introducing the Audi R8 – Pure Performance Meets Iconic Design
This 2008 Audi R8, finished in striking Ibis White, is more than a sports coupe — it’s a statement. Designed for enthusiasts who crave a perfect balance of luxury and raw performance, this R8 combines timeless style with thrilling driving dynamics.
Under the engine cover lies a formidable 4. 2L V8 engine, delivering an exhilarating 414 BHP. Coupled with the gated manual transmission, it gives you complete control, connecting you directly to the car’s unrelenting power. Every gear change, every surge of acceleration, is a visceral reminder of the R8’s legendary performance pedigree.
Inside, the cabin exudes sophistication and comfort. Fine Nappa black leather upholstery surrounds you, while electrically adjustable and heated front seats ensure every journey is as comfortable as it is exciting. The Bang & Olufsen premium audio system delivers crystal-clear sound, while the DVD SatNav and 6. 5-inch colour monitor keep navigation and entertainment seamlessly integrated.
This R8 has been thoughtfully upgraded for performance and reliability. The troublesome Magnetic Ride Control system has been fully removed and replaced with H&R adjustable coilovers (HR01-XX077-A01, £1, 500 value), providing sharper handling and a more connected feel. Additionally, the standard Audi V8 clutch has been replaced with a lighter, easier-to-use Audi V10 clutch pack, saving thousands of pounds and offering a more responsive driving experience.
Attention to detail is everywhere: Carbon fibre sideblades and inlays add a motorsport edge, while Xenon Plus headlights with washers and daytime running lights provide both style and safety. The CD changer and thoughtful interior touches complete a cabin built for driver enjoyment.
This example also has a well-documented ownership history: five previous owners, with the most recent having cared for the car since 2013, demonstrating long-term stewardship. Prior to this, the car was briefly registered to Porsche Aberdeen, likely an administrative oversight rather than regular use.
Maintenance and care have been exemplary. The car has a total of nine documented services — four by Audi and five by a trusted independent specialist—including regular oil changes, air filter and spark plug replacements, and brake fluid changes. The most recent service, completed in June 2024 at 50, 166 miles, included oil change, brake fluid renewal, dust and pollen filters, air filters, and a fuel filter service. In July 2025, the R8 received a new battery during its MOT. It now sits on a fresh set of Michelin Pilot tyres, and at least two sets of brake discs and pads have been replaced, ensuring confidence and reliability for the next owner.
With its combination of exquisite styling, upgraded performance components, meticulous care, and striking Ibis White finish, this Audi R8 is a rare opportunity to own an iconic supercar that is as thrilling to drive as it is to behold.
