The Appeal
The Audi R8 leapt to the top of Audi’s range, a super car well made, well mannered and reliable enough to be used every day if desired. This Audi R8 V10 Plus is a low-mileage example of the refined modern supercar, boasting a tasteful factory specification and offered in wonderfully original condition and boasts a full Audi main dealer service history.
The History and Paperwork
- Full main dealer service record
- Last serviced January 2023 at 33,000 miles including DSG gearbox
- MOT to January 2024
The Interior
- Black leather must have, R8 emblemmed electric and heated Recaro bucket seats
- Carbon fibre interior trim pack
- Alcantara steering wheel
- Audi Navigation Plus
- Bang & Olufsen premium sound system
The R8s’s cabin is a wonderful place to be. The sculpted figure hugging back Recaro bucket seats are heated and have barely a hint of wear to them, and it has a black alcantara steering wheel with red contrast stitching which is also in great shape. Being the Plus model it has very high spec including the Bang and Olufsen premium audio system and Navigation Plus options, as well as the carbon fibre trim pack, giving a sharp contrast to the leather trim of the dash and centre console and satin and metal of the controls.
Overall the condition is extremely good a small scratch on the passenger seat. As is to be expected, there is some creasing on the leather upholstery, with light wear on the driver’s seat bolster, a slight flattening of the pile on the Alcantara-covered steering wheel, light scuffs on the driver’s sill, and a little wear on the carpet.
