R8 V10 Coupe Living the Good Life in California
Originally from Washington state, Ibis White R8 V10 Coupe goes all in on the monochrome panda vibes, travelled 14,000 miles in its life.
When rolling in an Audi R8 V10, you may get a few looks as you drive by. After all, it is Ingolstadt’s halo machine. Yet, it’s subtle enough to pass by most people, especially when its Italo-German cousin, the Lamborghini Huracan, show up in all its majestic splendor.
One such R8 V10 Coupe we recently found on Bring a Trailer takes its split personality to the next level. In a way, it might just blow the doors off the next Huracan to strut its stuff on the high street.
The Ibis White R8 V10 Coupe landed in Washington state back in 2012. After spending most of its days amid the evergreens with two owners, its third and current owner brought it down to Newport Beach, California, where the Audi enjoys plenty of sun. It also received a new set of 20-inch ADV.1 alloys in black, which, with the carbon fiber blades and black trim pieces, turns the panda vibes up to 11.
Behind the occupants, the 5.2-liter V10 knocked out some 14,000 miles over the years, all meeting the road via a six-speed manual transaxle. The Toyo Proxes T1s likely covered a few of those miles, since they’re date-coded to 2015. Perhaps the next owner will update the rubber on either the ADV.1s or the stock 19-inch alloys the R8 V10 still has.
Inside, black Nappa leather seating is ready to welcome the driver and lucky passenger into the R8 V10. The seats are heated, too, for those chilly mornings. The gated gear shift waits for the driver to take control. Meanwhile, Audi Navigation plus is still at the ready to lead the way to the next destination.
Whenever this R8 V10 Coupe passes through the fine streets of Newport Beach, there may be a few who’d mistake this monochrome gem for a TT. When it pulls into the club, though, everyone’ll know this is no ordinary Audi. Sometimes, it pays to be subtle. This R8 V10 does so in spades.
