OVERVIEW

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2010 Audi R8 4.2 Coupe showing just 18,890 mi (30,400 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Daytona Gray Pearl over a Tuscan Brown Nappa leather cabin, this sharp mid-engine sports car boasts the desirable gated 6-speed manual. 

When Audi unleashed the R8 in the late 2000s, it turned heads with that distinctive Sideblade design. But perhaps the most exciting aspect was the coveted enthusiast blend of a naturally aspirated V8 and a 6-speed manual with the exotica of an open gate shifter.

Capable of low 4-second shots to 60 and lauded for its quattro AWD handling prowess, these early R8 three-pedal variants were destined for future collectability. Today’s stunning Daytona Gray Pearl example proves that out with a handsome Tuscan Brown interior, ultra-clean condition, and the must-have gated 6-speed stick.

• “Fabulous. The most tactile Audi driver’s car ever.” - Top Gear
