2023 Audi R8 V10 Performance

The Audi R8 V10 Performance represents the definitive version of Audi's mid-engined supercar — and with the model now discontinued, 2023 examples like this carry a degree of significance as the final expression of the naturally aspirated V10 lineage. That 5.2-litre unit, shared in concept with the Lamborghini Huracán, produces 562 bhp in Performance trim (up from the standard V10's 532 bhp), with 550 lb-ft of torque delivered through S Tronic dual-clutch gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive. The result: 204 mph flat out and 0-62 mph dispatched in 3.7 seconds, all while the V10 builds to its 8,700 rpm redline in a way no turbocharged alternative can replicate.

This 2023 car has covered just 10,559 miles — genuinely low usage for a three-year-old example — and presents in black with 19-inch five-twin-spoke alloys finished in gloss black. The monochromatic specification gives it a purposeful, unfussy stance that suits the Performance's more driver-focused character over the standard car. Euro 6 compliance keeps it practically usable without restriction, and the S Tronic gearbox offers both seamless automatic operation and rapid paddle-shift response when required.

As the last naturally aspirated R8 to leave the Neckarsulm production line, the V10 Performance occupies a niche that won't be filled again — Audi's next performance flagship will almost certainly be electrified. For those who want a genuine analogue supercar experience with Audi's characteristic all-weather usability, this low-mileage example makes a compelling case.
