What does a 5.2L 10-cyl R8 cost?

$174,995 is the typical asking price across the 244 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between 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.
