Cheap supercars 2023 | heycar

The Audi brand is one of the most desirable in the world today – and a large chunk of that success can be attributed to the original R8 supercar. It was seen as an odd launch at the time… why was this otherwise rather staid, premium car manufacturer selling a mid-engined sports car to rival the legendary Porsche 911?

Frankly, it was brilliant, and worth every bit the £77,000 price tag when it was new, and now the Audi R8 is just as likely to turn heads as some of the most exotic Ferrari or McLaren models. Naturally, prices have risen since 2007, and a new Audi R8 today starts in the region of £116,000. The most desirable models are more than £150,000.

But don’t let that put you off. A budget of £50,000 can get you a perfectly desirable R8. You’ll be looking at one of the last examples of the first-generation model – so a 4.2-litre V8 from around 2014. It packs 430PS and be able to accelerate to 62mph in just 4.3 seconds.
