Subtle and stylish in silver, this example of Audi’s R8 supercar is one of the limited edition Le Mans models, of which only 100 were built. Presented in 'flawless' Ice Silver Metallic bodywork with black Nappa leather interior with Crimson accents, ‘WV61 UAE’ is powered by Audi’s 4.2-litre V8, and is further marked out as a rare model by being one of just 40 to be fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox. Equipped with Titanium finish 19-inch '5-arm double-spoke Y design' alloy wheels inspired by the R8 GT Coupé, the desirable optional Carbon Package, and red brake callipers outside, and a classic open gate for the gear stick inside, the R8 Le Mans edition looks every inch a bona fide supercar.

The vendor is only the fourth keeper in the Audi’s almost 13 years since rolling off the production line. The car has covered an indicated 33,000 miles since new and benefits from the Limited Edition specification over and above the standard R8 V8 Coupé specification, including Audi magnetic ride, satellite navigation, Audi Music Interface (AMI), interior light package, Bang and Olufsen sound system and Bluetooth mobile phone preparation with integrated seat-belt microphones. ‘WV61 UAE’ is considered in superb condition by its present owner, rated as being ‘excellent’ across all aspects of the R8, including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paint and interior. .

The first generation of Audi’s R8 supercar was first shown to the public in 2003, but didn’t arrive as a full production model until 2006. Inspired by the all-conquering Le Mans Audis of the time, the first models were fitted with Audi’s 4.3-litre FSI V8 engine or the 5.2-litre FSI V10. Originally available as a coupe, the convertible Spyder arrived in 2008, followed by GT models with improved performance in 2011. The Le Mans edition was launched in 2011 to celebrate Audi’s 10^th victory at Le Sarthe. Production continued until 2015, when the second-generation R8 was introduced.
