#AUDI R8 SPYDER PRICE MANUAL#
Six-speed manual versions are collector’s items and destined to increase in value. As long as all service records are available, an R8 can be a reliable daily driver. The early cars also had a single clutch automatic, and the clutch replacement cost is considerable. These are All Wheel Drive cars with four axles and three differentials.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is priced from £155,500, so too the McLaren Sports Series models that hover between £130k and £160k depending on the myriad of versions available.Several considerations have a factor in the purchase price of an Audi R8 for sale. More exotic offerings include the Lamborghini Huracán Evo, which starts from £165,256 in RWD form, while the Ferrari Roma should command a similar price when it arrives in the UK later this year.
#AUDI R8 SPYDER PRICE PLUS#
It might lack the Audi's screaming top end, but it replaces it with an almost Group B rally car-like aggression – plus the brand cache of a new Maserati supercar always appeals. The new Maserati MC20 might be more expensive at over £190,000, but this new bright spark has a real presence with its deftly tuned chassis, technical styling and charismatic V6 engine. Aston Martin’s Vantage is between the two when it comes to power at 503bhp, and priced somewhere between them at around £120k. At just under £100k in Carrera 4S form, the Porsche’s price advantage over lesser R8s isn’t quite as stark as it once was, but then it’s not that far behind in performance terms. It’s impossible to overlook the Porsche 911 as the R8’s core rival, despite the Audi’s supercar-like price tag and mid-engined body type putting it in the class above. > McLaren 540C vs Porsche 911 Turbo vs Audi R8 At £156,890 it’s nearly double the price of the original R8 4.2 FSi at launch in 2007. Larger 20-inch wheels, a selection of grey styling elements and carbon-ceramic brakes help explain the price rise too, but for the ultimate R8 it too is available in Edition spec, which swaps out the grey elements for carbonfibre and includes Audi’s magnetic dampers as standard.

#AUDI R8 SPYDER PRICE UPDATE#
The current R8, itself a mild update of the second-generation model first revealed in 2017, comes exclusively with a 5.2-litre V10 engine and dual-clutch transmission, and is available in two forms – RWD Performance, and V10 Performance quattro, both of which are then available in further Edition trims which add in some specification additions.Īmongst new-generation rivals such as the brilliant new Maserati MC20, evergreen Porsche 911 and the Aston Martin Vantage, its unique cocktail of a high-revving naturally aspirated engine and friendly demeanour still appeal, but is the R8 now a case of ‘best get it while you still can’, or is this just natural selection that Audi’s been shrewd enough to acknowledge? Why is its end near? Audi’s investment in electric powertrain tech, plus the constant need to weed out heavy polluters, even in a model range as diverse as Audi’s, is forcing its hand. Designed to rival the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin Vantage with a cutting-edge mid-engined aluminium platform and crisp naturally aspirated engines, the original R8 paired this technical brilliance with a level of quality and usability unusual for a supercar.īut only one generation later the R8 has a rather different image, one under the shadow of its threatened mortality. The Audi R8 first appeared on the scene in 2007 and instantly became a class disruptor.
