The Audi R8 burst onto the scene in 2006, a bold declaration from Ingolstadt that it could play in the supercar sandbox. Eschewing the traditional front-engine layout, the R8 adopted a mid-engine platform shared with the Lamborghini Gallardo, instantly granting it exotic proportions and a dynamic edge. The first generation, initially offered with a high-revving V8, truly came into its own with the introduction of the naturally aspirated V10, a symphony of engineering that would become its signature. This second-generation R8, launched in 2015, refined that formula, shedding weight, stiffening the chassis, and pushing the V10's output to new heights, cementing its status as a sophisticated yet visceral performance machine. This particular 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus exemplifies the pinnacle of the second generation. Its 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine delivers a staggering 610 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, channeled through a lightning-quick 7-speed double-clutch transmission to all four wheels via Audi's renowned quattro system. With a mere 1,159 miles on the odometer, this coupe presents in pristine condition, a testament to its careful stewardship and minimal use. The V10 Plus variant signifies the most potent and track-focused iteration, boasting ceramic brakes, a fixed rear wing, and a more aggressive suspension setup, all designed to exploit the incredible performance on offer. This is a rare chance to acquire a virtually new example of Audi's celebrated V10 supercar.
