Vehicle details
When Audi revealed the Le Mans concept car, the world was wowed by its incredible styling. But it was a concept car. Audi wouldn't make a road going car like that would they. Would they? Well they did. They couldn't call it the Le Mans so instead, Audi named it in honour of the five times Le Mans winning Audi R8 LMP. This exceptionally low mileage example, an Audi R8 4.2 V8 Quattro is right in the sweet spot of the range. As a facelifted model, it benefits from some very minor styling tweaks and more importantly, includes the S-Tronic 7 speed gearbox which is a huge improvement over the previous 6 speed R-Tronic unit. This newer gearbox combined with the 4.2 V8 and the quattro four wheel drive system offer a visceral driving experience regardless of whether your going for a b-road blast or a trip to the shops. Speaking of the Quattro system, you might be worried that four wheel drive would numb such a car but worry not. In the R8, power is split 85% to the rear and just 15% to the front under normal driving conditions, giving you the feel of rear wheel drive with the security of four wheel drive. If needed, power to the front wheels can be increased to up to 30%. In fact, the R8 has been renowned since launch for being an everyday usable supercar. Top Gear magazine put it best when they said "it's the supercar experience, with sports car performance, wrapped up with Audi sensibility. And build quality. It's fantastic." And if you still need convincing then the factory fitted options list worth an incredible £22,095 when new should sway you.
