2017 Audi R8 V 10 Coupe � While some production cars can match the
R8's absolute performance on track - and few can beat it - only the
elite can come close to the R8's civility while retaining that raw,
race-bred edge. Nelson Ireson (Automobile Magazine 2017 Audi R8
Review) � The 2017 edition of Audi's standout mid-engine Quattro
sports car, the R8, took the already highly acclaimed model to new
heights with a complete re-design. The car was more comfortable,
better looking-inside and out-and not least of all, quicker,
faster, and more responsive. New interior amenities included Audi's
virtual cockpit, Audi Connect, and a 13-speaker, 550-watt Bang &
Olufsen entertainment system. �€� Top speed for the 540-horsepower
V10 engine (shared with the Lamborghini Huracan) married to a
7-speed S-tronic transmission was pegged at 199 mph.� � Chassis
improvements included a new lightweight carbon-fiber space frame
(also shared with the Huracan) and MagneRide shock-absorber
suspension, as well as the Audi Drive Select feature to adjust
handling to the driver's choice for comfort, sport, or different
weather or road-surface conditions. Motor Trend's review of the car
summed up its handling: The Audi is beyond quick with catlike
reflexes, sharp, crisp steering, and brakes for days. � The R8 V 10
offered here is a stunning example. Originally delivered by Audi
Salt Lake City, the car has traveled a mere 3,800 miles since
initial-customer delivery in June of 2016. That's only about 100
miles per month! The Suzuka Gray Metallic exterior paint is a color
venerated by many serious Audi fans who feel it shows off the car's
lines perfectly; a blend of subtle-yet-unusual coloring. On this
car it has been treated with Ceramic Pro 9H protection. The
optional carbon-fiber exterior trim adds both visual interest and
character. And for a touch of mystery, the Audi trademark rings are
projected on the ground when the doors are opened at night. The
car's Brixton forged lightweight wheels in dark-gunmetal gray were
custom-crafted for this particular R8, and no other. And the V12
engine is displayed in the optional carbon-fiber-trimmed
compartment beneath the glass hatch, like the piece of automotive
artwork it is. � The car is optioned with Audi's dynamic steering
which varies the steering ratio by nearly 100 percent as a function
of driving speed and the selected drive-setting. Transitions are
continuous and practically imperceptible. Also optional are the red
brake calipers. � Inside, the customization continues with
diamond-stitching in electric-red on the black leather sport seats
as well as the full headliner and other leather cabin surfaces. The
interior carbon-fiber package incorporates the lightweight trim
throughout the cabin, and combined with its use in the engine
compartment and on the car's flanks, makes for a coordinated,
techno-look.��Overall, it's evident the car's option selections
were specified with an eye toward crafting a unique R8. �€� The car
has recently received a comprehensive service by the Grand Rapids
Audi dealer and, in virtually all respects, presents as a new car.
The Audi Care maintenance warranty purchased by the original owner
remains in force through June, 2020, or 50,000 miles; together with
the factory's basic and powertrain warranties for the same period.
Owner's manuals and related literature, together with the original
window sticker, are included. � Audi's R8 has been
