Mid Engine V10 - Did that catch your attention?

New Inventory - 2010 Audi R8 V10

These R8s are something else. I remember clearly when they first came out and I loved that Audi was stepping into this realm of halo/performance car. Whenever one comes through here, I am reminded what a wonderful Jekyll and Hyde type of car it is. You can daily drive it in the rain and snow, and it can act like an Audi mainstream sedan - comfortable, stylish and ready for anything. Bury your foot in the carpet and let the V10 howl up to redline, and it is a straight up supercar. I can see why they are lauded as the ultimate road trip car.

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.

We know this specific car well, having sold it to the current owner in 2020. It's back with a few more miles (still dealer serviced) and the same cosmetic condition as before - just a wonderful and crisp example of a V10 R8.

Warm Regards,
