Used Audi R8
With its powerful V10 and sharp styling, the R8 was a step away from the luxury saloons Audi had previously been best known for. Audi's R8 is a proper supercar that feels at home on the track and in town. From its launch in 2007, it won drivers over with its supercar power and poise, combined with sports-car usability. The original R8 came with a V8, followed by a V10 option. After a 2015 makeover, the second generation focused exclusively on a 5.2-litre V10 with rear-wheel drive or quattro four-wheel drive, along with an improved chassis and modern tech. Audi discontinued production in 2024. Up against rivals like the Porsche 911 and Mercedes AMG GT, the Audi R8 feels like an accessible supercar that can be driven every day. Some models deliver over 600bhp and go from 0-62mph in as little as 3.1 seconds, while remaining refined and relatively reliable for the class. On the used market, you'll find both coupes and convertibles.
