Presented in superb condition throughout, this Audi R8 V10 Spyder is a hugely desirable example of one of the most exciting modern performance convertibles on the market. Registered in July 2014 and showing 63,959 miles, this 5.2 FSI V10 Spyder combines the drama of Audi’s naturally aspirated V10 with the ease of the S Tronic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive system, creating a car that feels every bit as special as it looks. Finished in grey, this is an R8 that delivers the full supercar experience with the added appeal of open-top motoring.

What makes this example particularly appealing is the way it has been cared for. The car presents very well and is accompanied by a large service history file, giving real confidence in its upkeep over the years. It has also recently benefitted from the fitting of a full set of BC Racing coilovers along with a mag ride delete kit, an upgrade that will appeal to enthusiasts looking for a more dependable and purposeful suspension setup while retaining the R8’s superb road manners.

Under the rear deck sits Audi’s wonderful 5.2-litre V10, producing 525 PS, an engine that is rapidly becoming recognised as one of the great naturally aspirated performance units of its era. In Spyder form, it offers an experience that is difficult to replicate, with the roof down and that unmistakable V10 soundtrack just behind you. Combined with the R8’s timeless styling and beautifully judged proportions, this is a car that still feels every bit as special today as it did when new.

The factory specification is also impressive, including 19-inch 10-spoke Y design alloy wheels, LED headlights, a fully automatic acoustic hood, Bang & Olufsen sound system, satellite navigation, Bluetooth preparation, heated front seats, climate control, electrically adjustable lumbar support, matt silk black inlays and Audi Magnetic Ride as part of the original manufacturer specification.

Offered for sale by Lowe Classics from Upper Triley Farm, Abergavenny, this R8 V10 Spyder is a striking, well-presented and very usable modern supercar with the benefit of strong history and desirable recent suspension upgrades. A thrilling car to drive, beautifully engineered and increasingly sought after in naturally aspirated V10 form.
