2015 Audi R8 4.2 quattro Coupe

After a few of not-so-nice or fake R8s, I thought I’d take a look at one you might actually consider buying. Now, jumping into the R8 world is not particularly cheap, but relative to the 911 markets these are still fairly affordable for what is otherwise a borderline supercar. Take today’s 7-year-old example. It’s got stunning looks highlighted by the Somoa Orange Metallic paint – but it rings in under $100k. And though it looks a lot like the GT model I looked at in 2021, it’s also $40k cheaper but still has some neat options. So let’s take a peek:

2015 Audi R8 V8 Coupe quattro S tronic. All standard equipment plus $22,645 in options, including Samona Orange metallic paint, black interior/Madras Orange stitching. Ceramic brakes, full Nappa leather package w/black Alcantara headliner. Audi navigation plus w/MMI logic, parking system plus w/rear camera Bang & Olufsen sound system. Vinyl clear wrapped, always garaged/covered besides the 35k miles she’s been driven. Car is like new and originally sold for $150k. Offered below KBB at $99,250.

This example comes from the last model year of the first-generation R8, and it benefits from the later dual-clutch S-Tronic gearbox with seven speeds – instead of the earlier single-clutch R-Tronic that most hate. It also has some really great options and visually is hard to tell from the more expensive GT model I wrote up – Samoa Orange Metallic is just great. Behind the driver sits the more tame 4.2 V8, but since you’ve got a lot of car here for under 100k – forged wheels, ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber rear spoiler, MMI with navigation, the updated gearbox, parking assistance; this is really a drive-everyday supercar that will make you feel special. It’s not the cheapest R8 out there, but it looks like a pretty solid example to consider if you like the first generation.
