2023 Audi R8 V10 Performance Edition

Finished in Mythos Black, this 2023 Audi R8 V10 Performance Edition is one of the last chances to buy the naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 in its most potent road-going form. The engine sends 612 bhp and 580 lb-ft through a seven-speed S tronic gearbox to all four wheels via quattro, with Audi's quoted top speed of 205 mph. The Performance Edition sits at the sharp end of the R8 range, and the V10 soundtrack is increasingly rare in a market moving toward turbocharging and electrification.

The car has covered 8,301 miles, low for a car of this age. Its factory options are restrained but well chosen: Mythos Black paint and an Alcantara headlining with a stitched diamond design. Inside, the seats have electric and pneumatic adjustment with driver memory, and an auto-dimming frameless rear-view mirror is fitted.

Everyday usability is helped by a reversing camera and Parking System Plus with front and rear sensors. Light and rain sensors switch the headlights and wipers automatically. Few supercars at this level are as easy to live with, which is the R8's long-standing appeal.
