The entry
The Audi R8 V10 Performance.
The second-generation R8 V10 Performance retained Audi's naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Quattro and rear-wheel-drive versions were offered, with coupe and Spyder bodies, before production of the R8 concluded in 2024.
We review your Audi R8 V10 Performance on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.

The specialist's notes
What we check on an Audi R8 V10 Performance.
The V10 Performance is the facelifted second-generation R8, built from 2019 until the last car in 2024, and the review turns on drive layout, body and the V10's service points.
- Generation
- The 2019 facelift renamed the V10 plus as the V10 Performance quattro, with a titanium valvetrain and a particulate filter, and is told by its honeycomb grille, larger door intakes, deeper sills and oval tailpipes. A rear-wheel-drive V10 Performance RWD followed with a mechanical limited-slip differential, and the V10 GT RWD closed the line with a front splitter and a large rear wing. Coupe and Spyder for the others, the GT RWD a coupe only, all with the seven-speed dual-clutch.
- Specification
- Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard on the Performance, with magnetic ride and dynamic steering as options, 20-inch milled wheels as standard, a carbon front stabiliser, the exterior packages and Kemora Grey or Ascari Blue paint. The RWD carries a plaque in front of the passenger and could be ordered on Cup tyres.
- Service
- V10 points we ask about: carbon build-up from direct injection, early coil-pack failure, intake manifold flap faults and oil consumption. MMI faults are usually a software reflash. We run the VIN past Audi for open recalls and note what warranty, if any, is left.
- History
- Audi or specialist service records, warranty status and the build record, which settles quattro or RWD and the brake and damper specification.
- Condition
- Ceramic disc wear, nose stone chips and film, wheel kerbing on the 20s, tyre age, and on a Spyder the roof cycling cleanly.
