Audi R8 V10 Quattro

The first-generation R8 with the 5.2-litre V10 and the six-speed open-gate manual is the combination enthusiasts now look for. The engine is a naturally aspirated, mid-mounted ten-cylinder producing 518 bhp, driving all four wheels through quattro, and the manual gearbox has become increasingly uncommon as most buyers went for the automated option.

This 2009 (59-plate) car is finished in Brilliant Red over black Nappa leather, with gloss carbon sideblades, full paint protection film and diamond-cut grey alloy wheels. Equipment includes Bang & Olufsen audio, navigation, heated seats and rear parking sensors.

It has covered 26,400 miles and is described as having a full service history. It has had nine previous owners, which is a lot for a car of this type and worth weighing against the mileage.
