"The US National Park" Audi R8 V10 Coupe
The “US National Park Audi R8” – if ever there were the need for a poster car for the US National Park Service, this car would be it. Before we dig into that, a quick reminder on how special the modern Audi supercar is...
Audi released the R8 in 2006 at the Paris Auto Show to global fanfare. Here was a known German manufacturer joining the upper end of the sports car market, and with a fresh design coupled with heavy engineering. Utilizing an aluminum monocoque along with carbon fiber, the chassis is very stiff. Loosely based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform (since Audi had recently acquired Lamborghini in 1998), they had a great starting point for their vision of what the market needed. Designed and built by Audi Sport GmbH (formerly quattro GmbH), the Audi R8 brought a balance of everyday luxury and comfort, with supercar levels of performance. Launched with a 4.2L V8, this performance was heightened even more with the addition of a 5.2L V10 to the line-up.
The first owner of this Audi R8 purchased it from Porsche/Audi of Downtown Los Angeles in California. Later moving to Houston, Texas, the car covered just 1,400 miles with the first owner in two years. The second owner acquired the car in 2012 and it split time between homes in Gig Harbor, WA, and Tucson, AZ, being shipped via enclosed transport seasonally.
From there the story gets really fun. Over the next few years, the car began acquiring miles on epic road trips – in fact visiting over a dozen US National Parks in the Western half of the United States. Used primarily as a road trip car for this ongoing tour of National Parks, it was always dealer serviced when back at home in Washington. See the photos of the car at Canyonlands, Yosemite, and Petrified National Park as highlights below. A full photo book of the car and US National Parks is included with the sale.
