Audi R8 value and depreciation
Known for everyday v10 supercar.
Projected value of a new Audi R8
We class the Audi R8 as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 52% after three years and 35% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.

Audi's mid-engined halo car shared its V10 with the Lamborghini Huracan and sold here from 2007 until production ended in March 2024. It earned a reputation as the usable everyday supercar. Used values hold firmer than mainstream Audis but sit well below the roughly R3.5 million the last V10 Performance cars listed for.
