2017 Audi R8 V10 Spyder

Finished in Daytona Grey, this 2017 Audi R8 Spyder pairs the 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 with a seven-speed S tronic gearbox and quattro four-wheel drive. The engine produces 533 bhp and 540 lb-ft, and Audi's figures give a top speed of 197 mph with the 0-62 mph sprint in 3.6 seconds. With the roof down, the V10 is the main attraction. Engines like this are being replaced by turbocharged and electrified alternatives, which makes the car increasingly sought after.

The car has covered only 22,496 miles in its nine years, which is low for an R8. The options list is more extensive than usual. It has the Extended Fine Nappa Leather Package, the Sound and Comfort Pack, a Bang & Olufsen sound system and pneumatic adjustment for the seat backrests and side bolsters. The Driver Assistance Package adds a reversing camera and parking assistance, while cruise control and the Audi Smartphone Interface cover everyday needs.

Exclusive door sill trims with illuminated plates add a small, well-judged touch inside. The R8 Spyder is a more relaxed alternative to the coupe, but it keeps the mid-mounted V10 and the all-wheel-drive traction that made the second-generation R8 so usable. It is listed at £78,950.
