Equipped with a 5.2-liter FSI V10 engine delivering up to 525 HP to all four wheels, this 2011 Audi R8 V10 Quattro Coupe has been recently modified with a 6-speed manual transmission conversion. It comes finished in Brilliant Red over a Luxor Beige leather interior and features Carbon Sigma trim accents, LED lighting, 19” Y-design wheels, Audi Magnetic Ride adaptive suspension, heated power sport seats, a gated shifter, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. Acquired by the seller from its long-term second owner in January 2025, this 6-speed Audi R8 V10 is now being offered for auction out of Georgia with approximately 9k miles showing on the odometer.
The R8 is characterized by its low, wide stance, side air intake blades, and glass engine cover. This example is finished in Brilliant Red and features Carbon Sigma side blades, LED headlamps, a speed-activated rear spoiler, rear diffuser, parking sensors, a brushed aluminum fuel filler cap, “V10” fender badges, and dual oval exhaust tips. It rides on factory 19” Y-design wheels dressed in Pirelli P Zero tires from 2019. The seller notes the exterior is in very good condition and is preserved with clear paint protection film over the front end. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with Luxor Beige leather upholstery, matching carpets, and Carbon Sigma trim accents. Accessories include heated and power-adjustable sport seats, a flat-bottom multifunction black leather steering wheel, a gated shifter with a knurled aluminum gear knob, aluminum pedal covers, automatic climate control, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and an infotainment system with Audi Navigation Plus. The seller notes the original automatic transmission shift paddles have been removed from the steering wheel.
Framed by Carbon Sigma trim, the car’s naturally aspirated 5.2-liter FSI V10 engine was factory-rated at 525 HP and 391 lb.-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a Quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system and a 6-speed R-tronic transmission that was converted to manual operation by the seller in January 2025 using new OEM parts. A 2-year warranty is provided for the transmission conversion. Service records show major services were completed by authorized Audi dealerships under prior ownership and all four Audi Magnetic Ride adaptive dampers were replaced between 2018 and 2020.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a tire inflator, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: "As one of the select few resources for Audi R8 Gated Conversion shop we are excited to bring this amazing low mileage cherry example to PCARMARKET. If you already own an automatic R8 Gen 1 please reach out, we can also convert your R8 into GATED SIX SPEED without any R8 or Lambo Tax.”

@nexusautobrokers - Able to post any documentation on the manual conversion? I imagine most serious parties would like to see this.
@palmerd27 Thank you for the great commentary love it and also a great collection. Local GA DAWGS fan stopped by and his main thing was YES RED CAR!
On the convertible aspect, actually all the R8s we have sold Spyder always brought less money than coupes so let's see what this does.
All in all a great car to daily drive but not as roomy as a GT-R with lots of luggage space. V10 is a BEAST! Looking forward to talking more to you
Love the fact of the manual conversion. I test drove an R8 V10 last month and found the response "Wimpy" due to shifting too soon and getting nowhere the power band with the auto trans. So with the stick, one can easily get up in RPM's to where the power is, like on my recently converted Ferrari 360. I now have too many red cars and will need to sell on to pay for this. But that could work for me. And the R8 V10 has a massive power upgrade potential, but of course that will actually reduce the value. The lack of the convertible top will keep the value down, but my several convertibles share common top operating problems. Just musing here to convince myself to do the deal on this car, and drive it to the West Coast before weather gets too hot. Major Downside; About no luggage capacity unless you drive alone, or share one bag for two people.

@CarGuyTexas911 - Thank you! yes we usually remove the paddles since most customers end up going with Carbon Steering wheel. If that is a concern we are happy to get that taken care of with the steering wheel of winner's choice.
This looks like a great color combination. @seller could you please explain what happens with the paddles on the steering wheel and if there are options to make the steering wheel look like that on a factory 6 speed. GLWTA.
Good Morning All! Wanted to thank the bidders. Also thanks to all the calls that we have received about our "reasonably priced" Gated Manual Conversions with NO R8 TAX. Our personal Gen 1 R8 that was converted by us and we added ALPHA PERFORMANCE Twin Turbo has just crossed over 30K miles. There is no rigorous testing better than throwing more power and speed :D
Bid in the amount of $50,000
