A V10 supercar you can actually live with
Drive a R8
The Audi R8 is Audi's mid-engine V10 supercar, built through March 2024 — so every R8 you'll find is a modern classic from its final generation. Browse Audi car rental options on Turo, and you can still feel its 5.2-liter V10 working right behind your shoulders. Audi designed it as a high-performance sports car suited to everyday driving, so it's ready for errands and weekend drives alike.
On Turo, you choose the exact R8 you want — Coupe or Spyder — from a local vehicle owner. Then you arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans.

A naturally aspirated V10 that sings to 8,700 rpm
The R8's 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 sits right behind your seats, and it's the reason this car exists. In quattro and GT form, it makes 602 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque and revs up to 8,700 rpm. Audi says the engine is nearly identical to the one in the R8 LMS racecar — race-bred power you can feel on any on-ramp.
Choose quattro all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive
You'll find R8s with either quattro all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, and each one brings its own character. With quattro, the V10 makes 602 hp and sends power to all four wheels, and the Coupe quattro reaches 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The rear-wheel-drive V10 performance makes 562 hp and puts all of it through the rear tires.
Every R8 uses a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, so you get the same gearbox whichever layout you pick. At the top of the range, the GT RWD is the most powerful rear-wheel-drive production Audi. Check the listing to see which drivetrain your R8 has before you book.
Pick a Coupe or an open-top Spyder
The R8 came in two bodies: the fixed-roof Coupe and the open-top Spyder with its fabric roof. Both seat two, so yes — the R8 is a two-seater whichever one you book. The Spyder quattro still reaches 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, just a tenth behind the Coupe quattro.
The Coupe has the edge on luggage, with 8.0 cu ft of cargo space versus 4.0 cu ft in the Spyder. Choose the Coupe for a weekend getaway with bags. Choose the Spyder when open air and V10 sound matter more than trunk space.
Stand out with a R8
The R8 is one of the last naturally aspirated V10 cars, and with production over, Audi won't build any new ones. Book one for a milestone birthday, a weekend getaway, or a wedding exit — or simply to feel a V10 before it disappears. Browse R8s alongside other exotic and luxury car rentals on Turo.
Top R8 features
Le Mans–born heritage
Le Mans–born heritage, hand-built rarity, and a limited GT farewell set the R8 apart.
The R8 started as the Le Mans quattro concept in 2003, a show car that previewed Audi's mid-engine supercar. That concept pioneered LED headlights, the Audi Space Frame, and the digital cockpit. The first-generation R8 arrived in 2006 and turned the concept into a road car you could actually buy.
That lineage is part of the thrill when you book one today. The R8 you drive is the final chapter of an idea Audi first showed in 2003, refined over two generations. You get a supercar with a racing-born origin story to match its V10.
Built by hand, now a collectible
Audi built the R8 largely by hand at its Böllinger Höfe plant. From 2007 on, Audi built 45,949 R8s in total. The last one rolled out of Böllinger Höfe in March 2024, closing the book on the model.
That finite number is what makes today's R8 a modern classic. When you book one, you're driving a supercar Audi will never build again. Every R8 from the final generation is the newest version you'll ever find — a collectible you can still enjoy on the open road.
The GT farewell
The R8 GT was Audi's final special edition of the R8, and Audi capped production at 333 units worldwide, with 150 for the US. It makes 602 hp and hits 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. It also adds its own Torque Rear drive mode, designed for controlled oversteer on track.
GTs are rare, so availability varies from listing to listing. If you spot one, treat it as a lucky find and book early. If not, any final-generation R8 still puts the same 5.2-liter V10 at the heart of your trip.

Top tips and things to know before renting a R8
Get to know your R8
Pack light, give the engine time to warm up, and read the listing closely for trim, distance, and discounts. Here's what to know before you book.
The R8 is a two-seater with little cargo space — 8.0 cu ft in the Coupe, 4.0 cu ft in the Spyder — so pack light. Features and prices vary by year, trim, and body, so check the listing before you book.
Planning a trip to a big city? Browse Audi rentals in Los Angeles, Audi rentals in Miami, or Audi rentals in Las Vegas to see what local vehicle owners have listed.
R8 driving tips
Give the V10 time to warm up before you explore its upper revs. The R8's nose sits low, so take steep driveways and speed bumps slowly.
Stick to posted speed limits on public roads. Save track modes like Torque Rear for a closed course.
How much does it cost to rent a R8?
The cost to rent an R8 on Turo depends on the year, trim, body style, trip length, Extras, and delivery you choose. Each listing shows its own price, so you can compare R8s before you book.
Book four or more days ahead to get a 10% non-refundable discount. Local vehicle owners can also set trip-length discounts on three-day, weekly, and monthly trips. Most R8s qualify as Super Deluxe Class, so a security deposit applies, and you should check the distance included on each listing.

You need a valid driver's license and approval to drive on Turo. Because most R8s qualify as Super Deluxe Class, you'll also pay a security deposit.
Can I rent an Audi R8 with a non-US driver's license?
Yes — you'll need a valid permanent driver's license from your home country to rent an R8 in the US. An International Driving Permit (IDP) isn't required, and it can't replace your license.
How old do you have to be to rent an Audi R8 on Turo?
You'll usually need to be 30 or older. R8s with a US fair market value over $85,000 fall into Super Deluxe Class, which also requires a security deposit and extra screening.

You'll choose a protection plan at checkout when you book your R8.
Are there discounts on Audi R8 rentals?
Yes. Book your R8 four or more days ahead for a 10% non-refundable discount, and look for trip-length discounts on three-day, weekly, and monthly trips.
Can I rent an Audi R8 long term?
Yes. Local vehicle owners can set trip-length discounts for weekly and monthly trips, so check each R8 listing for savings on longer stays.
Do Audi R8 rentals include unlimited mileage?
It depends on the listing. Each R8 listing shows the distance included, and some local vehicle owners offer unlimited mileage or an Unlimited mileage Extra. If you go over the limit, you'll pay a fee for the extra miles.
Can someone else drive the Audi R8 I rent?
Yes — add additional drivers in the Turo app. Each driver must meet the same eligibility requirements you do to drive the R8.
* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
