The first-generation Audi R8 4.2 was a game-changer when it hit the market. This was a car juggling many identities - a mid-engined supercar with the refinement and usability to serve as a daily driver. Its naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, producing 419 bhp and channelled through quattro all-wheel drive, felt involved and dynamic.
This fine example acts as a strong ambassador for its much-loved lineage and has returned to the road recently after a period of non-use. A good, honest, highly original car with below-average mileage and an iconic silhouette; we expect this car to garner plenty of interest. image.png1.97 MB
