2012 (12)Audi R8 5.2 R8 Spyder Quattro V10 Semi-Auto 4WD 2dr

Finished in crisp Ibis White, this example presents a striking contrast against its dark Fine Nappa leather cabin and recently refurbished diamond-cut alloy wheels. An upgraded sports exhaust further enhances the unmistakable V10 soundtrack.

Its provenance is equally impressive. The extensive history file dates back to the original supplying Audi dealer invoice and includes a stamped service book together with numerous supporting invoices. The car benefits from a comprehensive documented Audi and specialist service history.

Recent expenditure is a major highlight. In August 2026, at 48,403 miles, an oil service was completed, and the full oil-hose set was replaced. All four shock absorbers were removed and professionally rebuilt before being refitted with new hardware, followed by four-wheel laser alignment. This extensive programme of work resulted in an invoice totalling just over £9,000.

Further specialist attention to get the car ready for its new owner, this R8 received gearbox and driveline oil services, with clutch wear recorded as being within parameters, together with a replacement auxiliary belt, front brake discs and pads, and rear brake pads.

Earlier documented maintenance includes regular oil and inspection services, brake-fluid changes, replacement of all ten spark plugs and the replacement and adaptation of a front shock absorber by Audi. The depth of accompanying paperwork provides a reassuring account of the car’s life and demonstrates the level of care it has received.

Factory equipment includes B&O sound system, Audi Parking System Advanced with reverse camera, cruise control and Fine Nappa leather. The R tronic transmission can be operated automatically or through the steering-wheel paddles, while quattro all-wheel drive provides the confidence to enjoy the V10’s performance throughout the year.

The first-generation R8 has matured into a genuinely special modern classic investment. Its aluminium construction, hydraulic steering and naturally aspirated engine deliver a character increasingly absent from contemporary performance cars, while the Spyder adds the unforgettable experience of hearing the V10 with the roof lowered.

With sensible mileage, excellent documentary provenance and substantial recent expenditure already completed, this is a compelling example of one of Audi’s greatest supercars.

Supplied with two keys, MOT until August 2027, stamped service book, original supplying-dealer invoice and an extensive file of supporting maintenance documentation.
