- 6 speed manual gearbox
- Rare color combination
- Full service history
Before the R8 arrived, Audi was known for quattro, build quality and discreet performance. A strong reputation, but not exactly supercar territory. Then the R8 came along and changed that overnight. Mid engine layout, aluminium body, naturally aspirated V8, quattro all wheel drive and, in the best versions, a proper 6 speed manual gearbox. Audi had built something nobody really expected from them: a real analogue sports car.
This 2007 Audi R8 is exactly the kind of early car that makes sense today. It was owned and registered by Audi itself during its first year, and the specification is anything but ordinary. Not silver. Not black. Not grey. This car was finished in Montereygrün, paint code LZ6B / 3R, combined with Deep Green Pearl Effect sideblades and a Mustang Brown / Black Fine Nappa leather interior, code JZ. That is not a standard showroom spec. That is a proper colour combination, and one you simply do not see every day. The important bit is the gearbox. This is the 4.2 litre naturally aspirated V8 with the 6 speed manual. That is the R8 people want now. The manual shift gives the car exactly what later performance cars are missing: real interaction. You do not just sit in it and let electronics do the work. You drive it.
The specification is also right. Audi Magnetic Ride, Fine Nappa full leather, sport seats, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, electric lumbar support, Navigation Plus with colour screen and MMI, front and rear parking assistance with rear view camera, 19 inch 5 double spoke wheels, tyre pressure monitoring, xenon headlights with headlight washers, Climatronic, sound package, telephone preparation and folding, heated and automatically dimming mirrors. The right options are there. The history file is one of the biggest strengths of the car. It is complete from the beginning, starting with Audi AG first ownership in Germany, followed by Audi dealer documentation, the original fully stamped service book, German registration documents, Belgian registration certificate, Belgian Car Pass, technical inspection documents, owner’s manuals, R8 booklets, Navigation Plus manual and a large invoice file.
What makes this R8 so good today is that it still feels like a car, not like a computer on wheels. A sharp V8 just behind your shoulders with a beautiful sound, a gated 6 speed manual gearbox, quattro traction and that solid Audi build quality. Beautifully built, comfortable and surprisingly usable when you want it to be, hard, sharp and fast when you need it to be.
This is exactly the kind of R8 we like to offer: honest, correct, properly maintained and ready for its next owner. Audi first ownership. Manual V8. quattro. Montereygrün over Mustang Brown. Strong options. Full documentation. Fully stamped service book. Fresh major Audi service. This is not just another early R8. This is a properly specified, properly documented manual R8 with the right ingredients to become one of the modern classics people will keep looking back at.
