2014 AUDI R8

We’re delighted to offer this exceptionally well-presented 2014 Audi R8 V10 S-Tronic coupe, in the rare Panther Black crystal effect paint, on behalf of one of our clients. This is a stunning example of the legendary mid-engined supercar, enhanced with a carefully curated selection of high-end upgrades that’s being reluctantly sold by our client as they are emigrating for a new job.

First registered in 2014, with a mileage of 55,800 miles, this V10 retains its exquisite OEM refinement while benefiting from a suite of performance and aesthetic enhancements, making it one of the most complete Gen 1 V10 coupes on the market.

​This highly-spec R8 has been fastidiously maintained by the previous owners and cared for by our sister company - the UK's leading independent R8 specialist - REPerformance.

Power & Performance

The car has an impressive bhp of around 580 as tested on the dyno by REPerformance thanks to an APR Stage tune and Capristo exhaust upgrade. Powered by the sonorous 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, the APR Stage Tune helps unleash even sharper throttle response and improved mid-range power delivery.

The soundtrack is nothing short of breathtaking thanks to the Capristo valved sports exhaust, controlled via the Audi Sport button in the cockpit; open for an addictive high-rev howl, or closed for subtle town driving.

A V10 Plus suspension upgrade with Mag Ride delete kit also improves feedback and handling precision while maintaining road comfort. In addition, the H&R wheel spacers give the perfect stance without compromising drivability.

Technology & Interior

Step inside and you’re greeted by the full carbon fibre interior option, beautifully complementing the black leather with red stitching and the R8’s driver-focused cockpit.

The factory Bang & Olufsen sound system is present and is now paired with an Audison Forza amplifier upgrade for true audiophile-level clarity.

The car has also been upgraded with an OEM looking Apple CarPlay integration that brings modern connectivity seamlessly into the cabin while retaining the original look of the car. The original navigation & B&O amp are included with the car.

The engine bay also boasts the full carbon fibre option, adding a premium motorsport aesthetic when you lift the glass hatch.

​​About REPerformance

As the UK’s leading independent R8 specialist, we see a large number of R8s, so we know these mid-engined supercars inside out. We regularly see cheaper vehicles brought to us that require a significant amount of work, just to get them up to a reasonable spec, often with bills in excess of £10,000.

We specialise in preventive maintenance, which involves taking steps to deal with potential issues before they become an expensive problem. Unfortunately, a lot of R8s for sale, especially at the cheaper end of the market, are maintained on a budget and this is reflected in their overall condition. It is important to remember that these were developed as Audi’s first mid-engined supercar, and, although they are very easy to drive and live with, the maintenance costs can be high if not looked after correctly.

​Every vehicle we sell undergoes our comprehensive pre-sale inspection.

We don’t just give it a ‘once over’, we take a detailed look to ensure everything works as it should and there are no hidden issues. This includes checking more obvious things work, such as power mirrors and the air-con; to a road test to ensure the car drives without any issues. We then plug in our factory diagnostics to check for fault codes. From here, we remove the wheels to carefully examine the brakes and suspension. We then remove the under-trays, to fully inspect the underside of the vehicle to look for any other issues such as corroded pipework and oil leaks. Our detailed inspection gives us a clear picture of the condition of the vehicle and allows us to highlight areas that either need to be addressed immediately, or; noted for future attention.

Our advice is to always do your research and make sure the car is inspected properly. Then spend as much as you can afford to get the best possible example, that has been well cared for by a specialist. That way, you should minimise the risk of expensive repairs in the future.
