2009 (09) Audi R8 4.2 V8 QUATTRO (MANUAL)

When the experts speak, they say that the perfect R8 is a first generation car with a manual gearbox and magnetic ride suspension. Here we have a late example of not only that, but a car that has covered a mere 12,000 miles.

Finished in Ibis White with Ice Silver side-blades and a Pale Grey interior, this low mileage car’s condition can only be described as simply exquisite. From the paintwork, to the perfect yet never refurbished alloy wheels, the tyre condition, and the interior – wherever you look, and with not so much as a stone-chip in sight, it’s simply like new.

The R8’s standard equipment list is vast, but this car’s additional specification is equally impressive, costing an additional £8.5k over its 2009 list price.

The selected factory equipment includes Audi Magnetic Ride, Satellite Navigation Plus, Bang & Olufsen Sound System, Electrically Adjustable Front Seats, 19″ Titanium Finish Alloys, Bluetooth Phone Preparation, Voice Control, Auto-dimming Rear View Mirror, Light Package, CD Auto-Changer, Acoustic Parking Control, TPMS and Garage Door Opener.

The car is currently fitted with a Quicksilver exhaust, but the original exhaust system is present with the car if you prefer a more stock sound.

Since 2011, when the car had covered circa 7k miles, the car has been stored within a concierge storage facility, where it was properly maintained in a heated and dehumidified environment.

The car has only ever been serviced at Audi main dealers. The first service was carried out at 7k miles prior to its storage, and then it’s been serviced another four times, or approximately every 1,000 miles after that point. The latest service was completed in April 2022 and included a full Audi Health check, ensuring total peace of mind for the new owner. The car has also had a full brake service and an air-con service.

With a carefully driven 12,000 miles, and only 2 previous owners, this stunning R8 comes complete with the Audi book pack, two keys (plus wallet key) and a 6-month market leading, extendable warranty.

This car represents an opportunity to own what must be the finest condition R8 of its era. I doubt we’ll ever find another as good as this.
