The Audi R8 Coupe V10 (Gen 2) is a high-performance sports car produced from 2015 to 2023, representing the second generation of Audi's flagship R8 model. While exact production numbers are not publicly disclosed, estimates suggest fewer than 10,000 units of the Gen 2 R8 V10 were produced globally across all variants, enhancing its appeal among exotic car collectors due to its relative rarity compared to mass-produced sports cars.
Equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, the base model delivers 540 horsepower, while the V10 Plus (later renamed Performance) variant offers up to 610 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of approximately 3.2 seconds for the Performance trim and a top speed exceeding 200 mph. The car features Audi’s signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system and a lightweight aluminum space frame, contributing to its exceptional handling. For collectors, the Gen 2 R8 holds value due to its status as one of the last naturally aspirated V10 supercars, with prices for well-maintained examples trending upward in recent years. Special editions, like the R8 Decennium (limited to 222 units), further elevate its desirability in the exotic car market.
