Based on Audi’s LeMans Quattro concept car, the R8 took the automotive scene by storm in 2006 and positioned itself as an “everyday supercar” to rival many of its contemporary exotics. Sporting a lightweight aluminum body, full-time four-wheel-drive and 552bhp V10 engine, the R8 GT could reach 100kph in a mere 3.6 seconds.

This example is one of 333 units made, finished in its original Brilliant Red paint and showing little over 15,000km on the odometer.
