Introduction

Professional Consigner

Unleash the beast: Audi R8 V10 Plus Quattro – where precision meets pure power.

The Audi R8 V10 Plus Quattro represents the pinnacle of Audi's high-performance lineup for that era. It features a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 Plus engine producing approximately 542BHP, paired with Audi’s iconic quattro all-wheel-drive system. This configuration allows it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just around ~3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of roughly ~198 mph. With a lightweight aluminium and carbon-fibre construction, the R8 V10 Plus is not only quick but also nimble, providing a balanced driving experience on both the track and open roads.

Aesthetically, the R8 V10 Plus is a striking blend of sharp lines and aggressive detailing, with distinctive LED lighting and large air intakes covered by superb carbon-fibre side panels, or "blades" as they're known. The interior is driver-focused, offering premium materials like Nappa leather, carbon fibre, and Alcantara alongside Audi’s intuitive MMI infotainment system. It combines a supercar’s performance with the comfort and refinement Audi is known for, making it an excellent option for those seeking a daily-drivable exotic car.

Coming to market in just over ~1.5 years with our vendor, this stunning 2014 R8 V10 Plus is finished in "Brilliant Red", complete with all the carbon fibre goodies, ceramic brakes, and the ultimate powerhouse 5.2-litre V10 Plus. It comes with its original drivers manuals, two sets of keys and a current MOT valid until 08.03.2025. The private plate currently on the car is not included in the sale, the age related plate SD14 DVC will be on the car.

This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Robin the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

Having owned a Porsche 997, moving to the Audi R8 felt like a big step into supercar territory.

Owning a red sports car has always been on the cards for Robin, our vendor. The Audi R8 ticked several boxes for him after deciding to move from a sports car to a supercar. The R8 V10 is a car that can go toe-to-toe with many of its Italian and German rivals in terms of raw speed and acceleration. It also boasts a head-turning design you would expect from a supercar, with sharp angles, a wide stance, and an unmistakable presence on the road.

With the R8 box ticked, Robin has one more car he wants to try before any children come along, and priorities take a different order. He will be happy to answer any questions about the car in the comments section below.

Exterior

The later facelift version of the original R8, being a Plus it comes with the fitting carbon fibre trim.

Wheels and Tyres

The original 19" gloss black alloy wheels, standard for the Plus, are in good condition with very few age-related marks to point out. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres are in good condition and have a good amount of tread remaining.

Please see the image gallery for a closer look at the wheels.

Bodywork

The bodywork on the Audi R8 is in excellent shape, with no dings or dents spotted. The panel gaps are visually equal and matching, and, as you can see, the R8 also benefits from the carbon fibre "blades", door mirrors, a lower front spoiler, and rear diffuser.

We've detailed our observations through high-resolution images and videos, so please take the time to look through all the media files for a thorough view of what’s on offer and to assess the car’s condition for yourselves.

Paint

Finished in "Brilliant Red", the paintwork looks excellent. There may be the odd age-related stone chip on the front, but certainly, nothing stands out.

Images are taken from various angles to show off the car as you would see it in person. Please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos to form your own opinion on the paint’s condition.

Glass and Trim

The windows are in good condition with no noticeable scratches. The carbon fibre panels and trims all appear to be in good condition with no damage too, the grille surround on the driver side of the front bumper has come loose on one corner, Robin told us he is going to replace the tape holding it before the R8 sells.

Being a Plus, the car comes with a carbon fibre reinforced plastic front splitter, the same for the rear diffuser, along with the wing mirror covers too.

Mechanics

It doesn’t get more raw than a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, engineered for a pure adrenaline rush, pushing out ~542BHP.

Engine and Gearbox

Producing around ~542BHP with approximately 398lb-ft of torque, the 5.2-litre V10 can propel the R8 from 0-60mph in around 3.3 seconds. Turn the key, and the V10 roars to life, sounding quite simply fantastic. Robin hasn’t reported any issues with the car running.

Fitted with a seven-speed automatic S-Tronic gearbox, the gear changes are much smoother than previous models, and the R8 pulls strongly through the entire range. There is also the option to use the paddle shifters for those with a more spirited driving style.

Suspension and Brakes

As you would expect from a supercar, the handling is excellent no matter which setting you choose. The ride is firm but not too harsh, and there were no knocks or bangs during our test drive.

Being the Plus model, it comes with ceramic brakes as standard, which certainly stop you quickly if needed.

The Drive

In the R8, you have options: you can turn everything down and have a usable car that can be easily driven around town, or you can switch to sport mode, allowing the R8 to come alive and experience precisely what it was intended for – and you won’t be disappointed!

Electrics and Other

All of the switchgear appears in very good condition with no real signs of age or wear, and everything is reported to work correctly. There is a Pioneer touchscreen head unit fitted, along with plenty of carbon fibre trim, all of which are in excellent condition.

History and Paperwork

Coming to market from over ~1.5 year ownership, the car presents beautifully, there is a comprehensive service history, 2 keys and the owners manuals – the R8 V10 Plus is ready to go.

Looking through the paperwork, the R8 appears to have been serviced regularly with genuine parts purchased through TPS by one of the vendors over the years. There are several invoices for parts purchased, and work carried out, along with the owner's manuals pack and folder.

Stansted Audi carried out the most recent service in September 2024 at 60,236 miles, so there’s plenty of mileage left before the next service is due.

If you’ve ever wanted to own an Audi R8, the V10 Plus model is undoubtedly the one to go for – offering fantastic performance and all the carbon fibre touches that any self-respecting supercar should have. The private plate currently on the car is not included in the sale, the age related plate SD14 DVC will be on the car.

We’ve conducted our usual seller checks, including photo ID, V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle. This is a professional check by HPI that highlights if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or has any outstanding finance. Note, this does not include a mileage history check. The car has finance owed, which will be settled with a successfull sale.

We've summarised our view of the car based on information from the seller above. As you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in high-resolution detail—this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. Please sit back, have a cuppa, and take your time to review everything in this listing to assess the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed for all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time—we just need to speak to you first and receive valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you’re unsure about, no matter how small, please ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can’t be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car—just like in a traditional auction house.

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price that the seller will let the car go for. We work with sellers to set realistic reserves in line with market pricing – we don’t take on vehicles with unrealistic pricing. Reserve met / not met labeling may or may not be announced during the auction – this is just like a traditional auction house, i.e. bidders may only know when they’ve been successful at the end of the auction.

    If the reserve hasn’t been met at the end of the auction then we work with the highest bidder to try to work out a deal with the seller.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.
