The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary.

The 5.2L 10-cyl R8: common questions

Which R8 years have the 5.2L 10-cyl?

2010–2023 — 11 model years in our VIN decode, across 43 factory configurations and 4,604 VINs.

What does a 5.2L 10-cyl R8 cost?

$170,595 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

Audi — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
