Just come into stock – with 16,500 Miles on The Clock. This is 1 of 33 R8 GT Coupe’s in the U.K, with a total of 333 being produced Worldwide as the final swansong for the now iconic Generation 1 Audi R8 Supercar. This being Build #No.114.
Costing a staggering £142,585 in 2011, the GT is littered with Technology, Performance Upgrades, Exterior, Interior & Engine Bay Matte Carbon-Fibre and Audi Exclusive Alcantara Bucket Seats! Creating a Lust-Worthy-Package; with +35PS over the ‘Regular’ V10 R8 married up to Audi’s 6-speed R-Tronic Sequential Gearbox whilst shedding 100KG of weight off the already nimble R8 Platform.
The R8 GT offers what is arguably the most engaging combination for driving enthusiasts. Featuring a Revolutionary hand-crafted Aluminium space-frame body weighing just 210 kilograms, Race-Derived Coilover Suspension, Enhanced Aerodynamics and Weight saving thanks to extensive use of Carbon Fibre, Polycarbonate and even Lightweight Carpet! This list goes on - this car really feels like there was a ‘No Cost’ mindset to the development.
The Audi R8 was an important car for the world; proving that a Supercar can be reliable, practical & useable whilst providing the thrills associated only to Supercar ownership. We think the Gen.1 R8 also adopts a timeless design shape to its exterior and interior which is focused to the driver, even the feel of its sequential gear change lever feels as mechanical as it could be for a R-Tronic Gearbox application.
For sure the Gen.1 R8 is turning into an iconic car, with this being the pinnacle of that era we feel there is an investment opportunity here for any prospective new owners. As more and more supercars turn to Turbocharging & Electrification – the appetite for a High-Revving V10 Naturally Aspirated Engine will become stronger and stronger!
We feel this car is the perfect blend of the Analogue & Digital age; with a Ferocious Drivetrain which is mighty responsive providing ample amounts of intensity at the top of its rev range with the amenities you expect in the modern age.
