Low-mileage Lava Gray Pearl Audi R8 with rare gated manual, Tuscan Brown leather, and a naturally aspirated V8—collector-grade quality.
A true modern classic is now up for grabs: an impeccably preserved 2012 Audi R8 4.2L Quattro Coupe with just 6,971 original miles and the ultra-rare gated 6-speed manual transmission. Finished in Lava Gray Pearl over a Tuscan Brown leather interior, this stunning supercar is a standout for both collectors and purists seeking the last of the analog exotics.
Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8, the R8 delivers 430 horsepower with a linear powerband and a soundtrack that’s both refined and raw. Unlike its turbocharged contemporaries, this engine thrives on revs and driver engagement, pairing perfectly with the crisp feel of the open-gate shifter. With Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel drive, it offers exceptional balance, grip, and year-round drivability.
Visually, the R8 remains one of the most iconic designs of the modern era. In Lava Gray Pearl, the car exudes a subtle sophistication—dark and stealthy in the shade, shimmering with metallic brilliance in direct light. The Tuscan Brown interior adds warmth and contrast, elevating the cabin with rich materials and a tailored aesthetic that sets it apart from more common black or silver examples.
Inside, the cockpit is all business, with bolstered sport seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a center stack built around the tactile pleasure of driving. The gated shifter—a dying breed in today’s market—is the crown jewel, offering mechanical precision and a visceral, analog driving feel that modern dual-clutch systems can’t replicate.
Well-maintained and clearly cherished, this R8 offers the rare combination of low miles, rare spec, and unfiltered driving engagement. It's more than just a fast car—it's a symbol of an era when supercars still offered true driver connection.
