Facelifted Audi R8 (2012) prices announced

Audi has announced prices for its revised 2012 R8 supercar range.

The cheapest way into R8 ownership remains the V8 Coupe, at £91,575, while the new flagship R8 V10 Plus will set you back a cool £127,575 if you opt for the pricier double-clutch gearbox version.

Ceramic brakes and bucket seats as standard go a way to explaining that – you also get more carbonfibre panels (the ‘sideblades’, front splitter and rear diffuser), optional matt paint and a slug of extra poke from the handbuilt 5.2-litre V10.

The Plus gets 543bhp versus the standard V10’s 518bhp, and is 0.1sec faster to 62mph as a result.

Further distinguishing the R8 Plus are the 19-inch Y-spoke alloys previously seen on the limited-edition R8 GT, and darkened grille and exhaust pipe detailing.

Browse through our handy table below to choose your perfect facelifted R8, complete with confirmed UK pricing.

Prices shown are for cars equipped with the glorious open-gate manual shifter. S-tronic-equipped cars start from £2900 more than the manual car.
