By 2003, Audi and their race department, Audi Sport Gmbh, were doing extremely well. To celebrate a hat trick of 24 Hours of Le Mans wins (2000-2002), Audi commissioned a mid-engine V10-powered concept car, the Audi Le Mans Quattro, for display at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. The impact the Le Mans Quattro made was substantial. Audi's factory in Neckarsulm, Germany was given a €28 million renovation to produce the series production sports car, christened the R8 after Audi's Le Mans winning racing car. Audi's home of motorsport and high-performance models – Audi Sport– was tapped to construct the R8. What emerged from Audi Sport for the Paris Auto Show in late 2006 was Audi's first supercar. A high revving, 4.2 L V8 mounted amidship was coupled with its transmission, a six-speed, open-gate manual, ensuring that driver involvement is paramount. The press was naturally effusive in its praise with Autoweek stating that, "Simply, the Audi R8 is in a class by itself."

Finished in a striking Ice Silver Metallic exterior, this 2012 Audi R8 was delivered new to Audi West Palm Beach with an engaging six-speed manual transmission and optional 19-inch polished five-arm double spoke wheels. Featuring a Limestone Gray interior, this R8 also includes the $2,100 convenience package with upgraded Audi parking system and hill hold assist with a perforated Sport steering wheel. Standard equipment such as heated ten-way power seats and seven-speaker audio system offer a luxurious environment to enjoy the 4.2 L, naturally aspirated V8 engine.

Offered with 26,147 miles at the time of cataloging, this R8 is presented in excellent condition with consistent servicing at authorized Audi dealerships shown on the accompanying clean Carfax report along with a recently completed 55,000-mile service performed at Audi West Palm Beach for $4,666. With fantastic looks, rarity and, if desired, everyday usability, the first-generation Audi R8 is a fantastic supercar and one that, from concept to production, has stood the test of time.
