The deposit, the excess and the mileage terms for this car come from our catalogue data, and we are confirming that data with the insurer while the fleet is finalised. Read them as the shape of the terms rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement, and we check the specific car against the specific driver before you plan around it.

About the Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro
The Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro is our own car, not a sourced one. It puts a naturally aspirated V10 behind your shoulders with nothing above your head. Audi ended R8 production in 2024, so nothing on sale replaces this engine.
An open-topped naturally aspirated V10, from a car Audi no longer builds. One of ours, kept and prepared here.
At a glance
- A naturally aspirated V10 behind the seats, with no turbochargers anywhere in it
- Quick in the way only a high-revving engine is, which no turbocharged car imitates
- Fabric roof that folds away on the move, so the V10 is audible from the first mile
- quattro all-wheel drive and a dual-clutch gearbox, so it works in British weather
- One of ours: we own it, insure it, prepare it and deliver it
What is the Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance like to drive?
Calm until you ask it for something, which is the R8’s particular trick. Left alone it drives like a well-sorted Audi: light steering, a compliant ride, a cabin you could sit in for four hours without complaint. There is no drama getting out of a car park and no theatre at thirty miles an hour. Ask for the top of the rev range and the V10 changes character completely, and keeps going long after a turbocharged engine would have run out of interest. Peak power arrives at the very top, so the last two thousand revs are the point of the car rather than a formality. With the roof down you hear all of it unfiltered, and that is the whole reason to take the Spyder over the coupé. The quattro system means the 612bhp goes down without ceremony, which matters more in Britain than it does anywhere the roads are dry.
Why does the R8 Spyder matter now?
Because it is finished. Audi built the last R8 in March 2024 and there is no successor with a naturally aspirated ten-cylinder engine behind the seats. The replacement for Audi’s halo car is electric, which is a different proposition rather than a worse one. What ended with the R8 is the combination: a mid-mounted V10 with no turbochargers, in a car you can use on a Tuesday, from a manufacturer with a dealer network. Ferrari and Lamborghini still build engines that rev like this, and neither builds one you would drive to work. That is why interest in leasing one has gone up rather than down since production stopped.
How much does it cost to lease an Audi R8 Spyder?
The monthly figure comes with your quote rather than off a price list, because it moves with the term you want and how long we have the car for. What does not move is the shape of the agreement, and that is published in full on this page. The minimum is three months. You pay one month up front and the balance monthly, so a three-month agreement is one payment then two, and a year is one then eleven. The two numbers always add up to the term. The allowance is 1,000 miles a month, and anything beyond it is charged at £3.50 a mile. The deposit is £7,500 and the insurance excess is £7,500. Nothing is taken online and a person confirms every booking before anything is committed, so the figure is quoted to you by someone who has checked the diary rather than generated automatically.
What is included, and what is not?
The car is taxed, maintained and delivered. Servicing and routine wear are ours to worry about for the length of the agreement, which is the practical difference between leasing a car like this and owning one. It is brought to your address anywhere in mainland Britain, or you can collect from us if you would rather start in person. What is not included is fuel, congestion and clean-air charges, parking, and anything beyond the mileage allowance. The insurance excess is £7,500, which is the figure you would be liable for in the event of a claim, and the cover arrangement is set out on the insurance page rather than summarised here. The whole cost stack is published before you enquire rather than sent in an email afterwards.
Is an R8 Spyder convertible usable in Britain?
More than the shape suggests. The fabric roof folds away in about twenty seconds and will do it on the move at low speed, so a dry ten minutes is worth taking. With the roof up it is a properly sealed two-seat coupé and quiet enough for a motorway, which is not true of every convertible of this kind. Luggage space is the honest limit: there is a shallow compartment under the bonnet that takes a weekend bag and a laptop, and a shelf behind the seats that takes a coat. Two people and soft bags work. Two people and hard suitcases do not. Over a British winter the quattro system matters more than the roof does, and it is the reason this is a car you could run in February rather than lay up.
Should you lease an R8 Spyder or buy one?
It depends on what you are solving for. Buying makes sense if you want it for years and are comfortable carrying the residual value of a car that is no longer made, which cuts both ways: scarcity supports the price, and a single model year falling out of favour does not. Leasing from us makes sense if you want the car for a season rather than a decade, or if you want to find out whether a naturally aspirated V10 is actually what you want before committing to one. You are not exposed to depreciation, servicing or the cost of storing it over winter, and at the end of the agreement you hand it back. The minimum is three months, so it is a real commitment rather than a weekend, and it runs on monthly after that for as long as you want it.
Do I get this exact R8 Spyder, or one like it?
This one. The R8 Spyder is in our own fleet, which means we own it, insure it, prepare it and deliver it, and you are not waiting on a third party to confirm whether it exists. That is not true everywhere in this catalogue, and the badge at the top of the page tells you which half you are looking at: cars marked as ours are ours, and cars we would source carry a different badge and say so. The images on this page are representative studio renderings of the model rather than photographs of the individual car, which is how every vehicle on this site is shown. If the dates you want are already taken we will tell you, rather than quietly offering you something else.

Questions about leasing the Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro
Can you lease an Audi R8 Spyder in the UK?
Yes. We lease this one on a three-month minimum term with 1,000 miles a month included, delivered anywhere in mainland Britain. It is our own car rather than one we would have to find, so availability is a diary question and we can answer it the same day. Audi stopped building the R8 in 2024, so a lease is now one of the few ways to run one without buying it.
How fast is the R8 Spyder V10 performance?
It reaches 60mph in 3.2 seconds and runs to 204mph. The 5.2-litre V10 makes 612bhp without a turbocharger anywhere in it, which is why it keeps pulling to the top of the rev range instead of flattening off in the middle. Those figures matter less in practice than the way it delivers them: there is no lag and no step, just a single pull that gets harder the further you go.
Is the Audi R8 still in production?
No. Audi built the last R8 in March 2024 and has not replaced it with another naturally aspirated V10. Nothing currently on sale offers the same combination of a ten-cylinder engine behind the seats and everyday usability, which is the reason demand for the remaining cars has held up.
How old do I have to be to lease the R8 Spyder?
You need to be at least 30, to have held a full licence for five years, and to have no more than six points. Those criteria are the insurer’s rather than ours and they are not negotiable on a car of this value. They are listed on every vehicle page before you enquire so that nobody finds out at the wrong moment.
What happens if I go over the mileage allowance?
You are charged £3.50 for each mile beyond the 1,000 a month included, settled at the end of the agreement rather than as you go. There is no penalty structure beyond that and no charge for being under. If you know in advance that you need more than 1,000 miles a month, say so when you enquire and we will quote the allowance you actually need instead of letting you run over it.
Can I have the R8 Spyder delivered to my home?
Yes, anywhere in mainland Britain, which is the normal arrangement rather than an extra. We bring it to your address, go through the car with you and hand it over there. You can collect from us instead if you would prefer to start the agreement in person. Northern Ireland and the islands are outside the area we deliver to.
