The 2008 Audi R8 4.2 FSI V8 gated manual is a true modern classic and widely regarded as one of the last naturally aspirated, open-gate manual supercars ever produced. Powered by a high-revving 4.2-litre V8 producing 414 bhp, it delivers an exhilarating driving experience with 0–60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and a top speed of around 187 mph. This exceptional example has covered just over 58,000 miles and presents beautifully, benefiting from a comprehensive service history and meticulous ownership, both of whom garage stored the vehicle. Importantly, it has also had a NEW CLUTCH + CARBON CLEAN + TIMING GEAR KIT INC CHAIN fitted at 55,000 miles, and a trickle charger is installed to ensure the car remains in optimum condition at all times.
This R8 boasts a huge and highly desirable specification, including Bang & Olufsen advanced sound system, Audi magnetic ride, Audi Parking System Plus with front and rear acoustic sensors, cruise control, LED headlights, high beam assist, tyre pressure monitoring system, and 19-inch 5-arm double spoke alloy wheels in high gloss finish. The cabin is equally impressive with Audi Exclusive extended leather package, Audi Exclusive controls pack, light package, stainless steel pedals, and premium carpet mats with piping. Additional features include electric, heated, folding and auto-dimming mirrors, Bluetooth phone preparation, Audi music interface, DVD satellite navigation with 6.5-inch colour display, and a rare 6CD autochanger.
Enhancing the driving experience further is a valved Cobra exhaust system, which completely transforms the car’s character, delivering an incredible soundtrack that sounds remarkably close to a V12. For modern usability, the car has been upgraded with a Pioneer system offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while importantly retaining the original Audi screen for originality—perfect for collectors.
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully specified, carefully maintained example of an appreciating modern classic that delivers an unmatched analogue driving experience.
