About this vehicle
There is no V8 option. This V10+ sits at the top of a two-model line-up, propped up by the V10. Power starts at 533bhp and rises to 602bhp – genuine supercar territory. Both versions deliver peak power at 8250rpm, which is pretty wild for such a big ten-cylinder unit, but they’ll actually spin on to 8700rpm before the limiter chimes in to stop the pistons thumping themselves through the glass engine cover. Peak torque in the V10 is 398lb ft, rising to 413lb ft in the V10+ (both develop peak torque at 6500rpm). Drive goes to all four wheels via a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox, which has been tweaked to deliver quicker gearshifts.Seller's Notes

With everything turned right down, the R8 V10+ is a docile, supple and relatively quiet machine. As long as you don’t need rear seats there’s no reason the R8 couldn’t be a daily driver. Turn it all up, though, and it really does transform into a bona fide supercar.
The drivetrain is stunning – the engine is ferociously responsive and it revs with real intensity in the upper reaches, while the gearbox is instantaneous. It ranks among the very best for immediacy and is one of the major areas of improvement over the old car. It’s a pity more of the serrated, hard-edged exhaust bark doesn’t find its way into the cabin, but here is an engine with the character and excitement we expect of a supercar.
