The cheapest Audi R8 in the Netherlands
Or not… For almost 1/6 of this amount you can buy the cheapest Audi R8 in the Netherlands. But what do you get for the money?
An occasion with a delicious V8
To keep distance from Lamborghini’s sister model, the Gallardo, the Audi R8 was initially only available with a 4.2-liter V8. A wonderful V10 followed later.
Due to the impressive sound and good performance of the 5.2-liter ten-cylinder, the V8 is the less popular powertrain. The eight-cylinder also turns out to be a wonderful power source for the super sports car.
The V8 pulls well and bangs with a metallic rumble to the rev limiter, which only intervenes at the number 8250. The engine of the cheapest Audi R8 already delivers its maximum power of 420 hp at 7800 rpm. Its maximum torque of 430 Nm is reached between 4500 and 6000 rpm.
A zero-to-100 time of 4.6 seconds is no longer really fast compared to, for example, an Audi RS 3. The top speed of 301 kilometers per hour remains impressive.
The cheapest used R8 in the Netherlands
The 4.2-liter FSI is also in the cheapest Audi R8 in the Netherlands. The supercar features a six-speed automatic transmission. The occasion dates back to 2008 and has a little over 86,000 kilometers of experience according to the odometer. The car was introduced in 2017 and therefore does not have a national car passport.
It is also noticeable that the car has had 7 different owners in the last 9 years. Despite this, the seller writes in the ad that the maintenance history is present. The car company demands almost 55 grand for this occasion.
