Is the Audi R8 a good investment?

The thesis

The Type 42 R8 V10 manual is the last naturally aspirated, gated-manual V10 supercar from Audi before the platform ended in 2024. Shares Gallardo V10 DNA, far rarer in manual (roughly 15% of production per forum data). UK pricing £75–110k positions it at budget mid-point. As Audi's only true supercar and now discontinued, collector interest rising. Gated manual, daily-usable, Lamborghini engine, last-of-breed credentials all align. Less appreciated than Gallardo but mechanically near-identical.
