The German car manufacturer introduced the first-generation R8 GT in Coupe guise in mid-2010. Compared to the standard R8 V10, it weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) less and power from the 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated engine was increased to 552 hp at 8,000 rpm and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) at 6,500 rpm. The R8 GT Spyder was unveiled the following year and followed a similar formula with less weight and more power.

The listing confirms that the car has nearly 10,000 miles on the clock and been equipped with a SunTek paint protection film on the front bumper, spoiler, trunk, fenders, mirror caps, rocker panels, side air intake scoops, and the leading edge of the rear spoiler. It also sits on 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 235/35 at the front and 305/30 at the rear.
