Audi R8 V10 Spyder, £45,995
We are pleased to offer for sale, on behalf of one of our clients, this extremely well-cared for Audi R8 V10 Spyder. First registered in 2010, it comes with the desirable 'wing-back' sports seats.
Powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine, and transmitted via a six-speed manual gearbox and quattro 4WD system, this R8 V10 Spyder produces 518bhp and 391lb/ft.
This highly-specced R8 has been fastidiously maintained by the previous owners, and cared for by our sister company - the UK's leading independent R8 specialist - REPerformance.
The comprehensive maintenance file includes all of the major jobs that can become very expensive on a V10 R8. These include:
- New clutch at 36k-miles
- Refurbished Mag-Ride suspension
- Refurbished brakes all round
- Walnut blast at 45k-miles
- Recent oil pump drive seals
- Recent inspection service
This R8 Spyder also benefits from some tasteful exterior additions, including: a gloss black front splitter; gloss black windscreen surround; gloss black engine cover vents; black badges and a gloss black honeycomb front grille.
Inside, there's more gloss black to the plastics and a pair of highly desirable 'wing-back' sports seats, with gloss black shells. A comprehensive inspection has been carried out and the R8 will come with a fresh service and MoT.
REPerformance are happy to recommend it as one of the best maintained examples of a Gen 1 V10 Spyder available in the UK today.
This vehicle also features a valved sports exhaust, which can be controlled via a remote fob. When open, it delivers a sonorous howl, unleashing the full potential of the high-revving V10. But once closed, it keeps things more sedate, ideal for early morning starts, or town driving.
This R8 has covered 54466 miles and is available to view, by appointment, at our Swindon facility. Test drives will be carried out by one of our sales team.

​​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.
