I hope this does well for the seller, but the listing has some errors on R8 itself. The model was announced and launched with a 4.2 litre V8, and from 2009 was offered with the Audi 5.2 litre V10 as well. The earlier Lamborghini-exclusive V10 (5.0) was never used in R8, and Lamborghini themselves used the newer Audi engine from 2006. In very simple terms the 5.2 litre V10 is the 4.2 litre V8 with two added cylinders (itself a modular design with similarities across V6, 8 and 10) and not a V10 with two cylinders removed.

How many times did you push your glasses up your nose while writing that?
