50 Used Audi R8 cars for sale

Beautifully built and exceptionally high quality, the Audi R8 is one of the most luxurious cars on the market and owners generally report good reliability. That said, the German manufacturer's reputation isn't perfect, with some customer satisfaction surveys reporting problems and poor finishes with certain designs. Safety features on the Audi R8 are also on the slim side with just 4 airbags, an alarm and immobiliser.

The Audi R8 is constantly getting refreshed with top trims featuring top speeds of at least 200mph. The V10 Performance coupe is the fastest trim, reaching a maximum speed of 205mph.

With one of the most powerful engines in the world, the Audi R8 is, naturally, expensive to buy and costly to run, sitting in the highest insurance group of 50. On the motorway, you're looking at around 20mpg while city use returns around 13mpg. Meanwhile, the annual road tax for an R8 is £580 and replacement parts can be very pricey in the unfortunate event you require repairs.

Originally launched as a coupe, the Audi R8 officially launched the Spyder convertible in 2008 with the car arriving in the UK in 2009.

Audi cars are manufactured all over the world, but the R8 is produced in a recently renovated factory in Neckarsulm, Germany.
