The seller offers for sale this 2009 Audi R8, a powerful mid-engine supercar with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive and R-Tronic automatic transmission. Under the rear glass lies a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 engine, producing 525 horsepower across ten cylinders for an immersive driving experience. With its aggressive low stance and distinctive side blades, this R8 reflects both performance and design heritage.
The car features the desirable Carbon Pack Extended, which includes various carbon fiber components, enhancing both aesthetics and weight savings. This particular example comes with an Audi service history.
The R-Tronic transmission offers paddle-shifted gear changes for a race-inspired feel, while Audi’s Quattro system ensures traction in all conditions. Recent maintenance includes a full service in January 2025, with new brake pads fitted, making it ready for the next owner. The vehicle is equipped with performance disc brakes, xenon headlights, and high-grip tires.
The interior with carbon accents and leather trim is showing minimal signs of use.
Mechanically, the vehicle is in good condition and the vehicle holds a valid technical inspection certificate.
Audi introduced the R8 as its flagship sports car in 2007, drawing inspiration from its Le Mans-winning racing technology. The V10 model, introduced in 2009, was a major step up from the V8 version, offering more power and a thrilling soundtrack courtesy of its Lamborghini-derived engine. Developed alongside the Lamborghini Gallardo, the R8 V10 shares many components, including the chassis and drivetrain.
The R-Tronic transmission used in early models like this one was a single-clutch automated manual that offered quick gear shifts but was later replaced by the smoother S-Tronic dual-clutch in newer iterations. Enthusiasts appreciate the R-Tronic for its mechanical connection to the drivetrain and the dramatic gear changes it delivers under hard acceleration.
Carbon fiber elements featured in this car’s Extended Carbon Pack are both a visual and performance upgrade. These include mirror housings, side blades, rear diffuser, and the front splitter. The visual presence of this car is underscored by its wide stance, signature LED daytime running lights, and sculpted body lines.
The R8 helped re-establish Audi as a performance brand and competed directly with Porsche, Ferrari, and other established marques. Even more than a decade after its release, the first-generation R8 V10 remains a compelling choice for buyers seeking a true exotic with everyday usability. The Quattro system makes it more forgiving than many rear-wheel-drive rivals, while still delivering the drama and pace expected from a proper supercar.
