2014 | Audi R8 5.2 Quattro Spyder
Overview
The Audi R8 Spyder was first introduced by the veritable German marque in 2009 following the success of the Audi R8 Coupe. Designed as a convertible variant, the Spyder featured a distinctive retractable fabric roof, contributing to its unique profile among high-end sports cars. It shared the same aluminum monocoque structure with the coupe, known as the Audi Space Frame (ASF), offering lightness and rigidity, essential for its dynamic performance. Initial R8 Spyder models were equipped with either a 4.2-liter V8 or a 5.2-liter V10 engine and Audi's advanced Quattro all-wheel-drive system, showcasing Audi's commitment to combining powerful performance with luxury design with enhanced handling and agility. The open-air model quickly garnered attention for its exhilarating driving experience, a trait for which Audi is well renowned.
For the 2014 model year, the Spyder underwent several key enhancements. The car was predominantly available with the 5.2-liter V10 engine, producing 525 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque. Power was paired with a 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission replacing the older 6-speed R-tronic, significantly improving gear shift times and overall driving smoothness. The 2014 R8 Spyder could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, reaching a top speed in excess of 190 mph. The model also featured updated LED headlights and tail lights along with subtle interior revisions for increased comfort and modernity. Audi's MMI Navigation Plus system was integrated into the dashboard, offering enhanced connectivity and infotainment options. The 2014 R8 Spyder symbolized a blend of high-speed performance and luxury, making it a standout model in Audi's lineup of sports cars.
The 2014 Audi R8 5.2 Quattro Spyder offered here is finished in handsome Phantom Black Pearl Effect with a matching black fabric convertible top. The dark theme continues at every glance with the Audi Exclusive Black Optic Package adding black windshield surrounds and aluminum exhaust finishers plus dark-finished 20" Vorsteiner wheels w/Pirelli PZero tires. The interior follows in form with the black Diamond Stitch Full Leather Package, adding fine Nappa leather upholstery extending from power-adjustable bolstered bucket seats to the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, and doors. Audi's proprietary infotainment system keeps the driver informed, and this example opts for iPod connectivity in place of a 6-CD changer. This Spyder is now offered with a clean Carfax report, a third-party inspection report, and a clean title.
