Audi Club Auction Watch: 05.21.2026
Words: Steve Johnson
Greetings Audi aficionados! Thank you for clicking on another Auction Watch where we’ve done the internet searching for you. We’ve checked multiple online car auction sites looking for Audi models worthy of your bids. Typically each Thursday we post those listings calling out a car’s highlights, include a few pictures, and a helpful link. Our goal is to help you find that certain Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
The first four listings, a low-mileage 2015 Q7 TDI, a high-mileage 2003 RS 6, a practically new 2022 R8 V10 Performance Coupe, and a low-mileage 2012 R8 V10 Coupe, have auctions that end today so check them out first. As for the rest, this is a big week for up-spec R8 Coupe models. There’s a 2022 Performance RWD, a 2017 Plus, 2023 R8 GT #282, a rare 2018 Plus with a Competition Package, and a modified 2018 RWS. But there’s a car that’s most special and will put all those R8s to shame in a straight line. If you look at none of the other 16 listings this week, please scroll to the end to see what I’m talking about. At the other end of the go-fast spectrum are a 2013 A4, 2014 allroad, a 2015 Q5 TDI, and a 2015 A3 to consider. And it wouldn’t be a typical week if we didn’t have an RS 4, this week there are two including another Imola Yellow example. As always, thanks for reading!
This week’s relists are:
This 2015 Q5 TDI last sold at auction in late March. It’s Ibis White over Chestnut Brown and has 66k miles. The turbodiesel 3.0L V6 (240HP/428 lb-ft) powers an 8-speed Tiptronic.

2015 Audi Q7 TDI (22,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.21.2026 1:36 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends early PM today! No Reserve. This full-size SUV is listed as gray (I’m guessing Lava Gray pearl) over black. Inside you’ll find 3-row leather seating, wood trim, a panoramic sunroof and a CD stereo with Bose sound. Tires have 2021 and 2025 date codes. The turbodiesel 3.0L V6 is factory rated at 240HP/406 lb-ft and powers an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports one owner prior to dealer acquisition and no accidents/damage.
2003 Audi RS 6 (144,000 Miles)

Bid quickly, auction ends mid-PM today! No Reserve. This fast sedan is Daytona Gray pearl and it looks good for its age/mileage. Inside are silver-piped Ebony leather front seats, heated rear seats, carbon fiber trim, and a CD/cassette stereo with Bose sound. Under the carbon fiber engine cover lies a twin-turbo 4.2L V8 with Bosch Motronic fuel injection that Audi rated at 450HP/415 lb-ft when new. It feeds that power to a 5-speed Tiptronic, Torsen center diff, and quattro drive. Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents/damage.
2022 Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe RWD (2,800 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.21.2026 3:00 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends mid-PM today! Under a matte black vinyl wrap and ceramic coating is Mythos Black metallic paint. The black cabin has a full leather package (Nappa leather seats with red contrast stitching), an Alcantara headliner, illuminated door sills, Audi MMI navigation, and B&O sound. It has the optional carbon fiber front sway bar and LED headlights as well. In this model, the 5.2L V10 is Audi rated at 562HP/406 lb-ft and it pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic to spin the rear wheels only. The clean Carfax report confirms this is a one-owner vehicle.
2012 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (17,400 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.21.2026 4:06 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends late PM today! This Type 42 is Ibis White with carbon Sigma side blades.

2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus Coupe (17,500 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.22.2026 1:20 PM EDT
Here’s another up-rated R8 that Audi put the numbers at 610HP/413 lb-ft coming from the 5.2L V10 and flowing to all four wheels this time through a 7-speed S tronic. The exterior is Ibis White with Carbon Sigma side blades and carbon fiber aero surfaces front and rear. The black interior has a Diamond stitch Nappa leather package with contrasting white stiches, Carbon Sigma matte trim, an Alcantara headliner, and B&O sound. Other options are dynamic steering and 20” wheels. The clean Carfax reports this is a one-owner car with a good service history. I’m disappointed to see only one key in the listing’s photo gallery.
2004 Audi S4 Cabriolet (46,600 Miles)

Bring a Trailer – 05.23.2026 2:05 PM EDT

The interior is Moor Brown with Velvet Beige leather seats and a matching headliner. It’s equipped with Convenience and Lighting packages and has the heated front seat option too.

2020 Audi SQ7 (54,000 Miles)

Here’s a full-size Navarra Blue metallic SUV that won’t handle like one thanks to the rear-axle steering.

The twin-turbo 4.0L V8, factory rated at 500HP/568 lb-ft, pairs with an 8-speed Tiptronic.

2018 Audi R8 V10 Plus Coupe (43 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.26.2026 1:09 PM EDT
No Reserve. As seen in yesterday’s Find of the Day, this is the second of ten 2018 Plus models we’ve seen on Auction Watch equipped with the $34,175 Competition Package. The previous was VIN ending in 2362 and it bid to $210k on BaT but didn’t sell. This example’s third bid was $240k, it had an MSRP of $239.9k, and it will sell thanks to no reserve. The other options included in that sticker price are Black Optic and full leather packages, B&O sound, and dynamic steering. The exterior is Suzuka Gray metallic and for the money you get a 5.2L engine rated at 602HP/413 lb-ft. But since delivery about 7.5 years ago its driven less than 5 miles, I hope it was well-stored.
2023 Audi R8 GT #282 (4,900 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.26.2026 1:30 PM EDT
Meet Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer’s R8 GT #282.

2007 Audi RS 4 (136,600 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.26.2026 3:03 PM EDT
Want a fast sedan but prefer a more conservative color than yellow? This Daytona Gray pearl example has some miles on it and also a few mods, check out the listing’s Modification section for details. Along with the mileage comes a few flaws and wear-n-tear so also review the Known Flaws section before bidding. The interior has silver Silk Nappa leather seats, brushed aluminum trim, and a Pioneer head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

2013 Audi RS 5 Coupe (66,700 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.26.2026 3:39 PM EDT
The Panther Black Crystal Effect paint on this first gen RS 5 has a subtle purple hue that’s hard to capture but I think the taillight photo does it well. It has paint protection film on the front fenders and door handles. The black interior has Nappa leather seats, aluminum trim, and B&O sound. The 4.2L V8, Audi rated at 450HP/317 lb-ft when new, pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic and Sport rear diff. Carfax reports three previous owners and minor damage in November 2024 that the seller has filed a correction request with Carfax as he states it is erroneous.
2007 Audi A4 S Line (75,100 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.26.2026 3:57 PM EDT
I’m calling this Quartz Gray metallic B7 sedan an RS 4-lite. Why? Look at the list of engine and chassis mods in the listing’s Modifications section and you’ll see why. It was already equipped from the factory with S Line Sport, Convenience, Audio, Cold Weather, and Titanium packages. The turbocharged 2.0L I4 had a Berryman B12 24-hour carbon cleaning treatment performed in early 2026. The Carfax report is clean but the seller reports it was involved in a low-speed accident that damaged the driver’s side front fender, hood, and a tab on the headlight and that all affected panels and pieces were replaced as a result. Additionally, it was involved in a sideswipe collision that required repainting the driver’s door and rear fender. See photos as well for loose headliner in the rear.
2023 Audi S5 Cabriolet (15,500 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.26.2026 3:57 PM EDT
This drop head coupe is Mythos Black metallic with a black soft top that encloses, or not, an interior featuring Magma Red Fine Nappa leather seats. Also inside are Carbon Atlas inlays and B&O 3D sound. The turbocharged 3.0L V6 is factory rated at 354HP/369 lb-ft and turns an 8-speed Tiptronic. The clean Carfax reports this was a one-owner car before dealer acquisition but the selling dealer reports that the driver-side quarter panel was previously repainted due to a scratch and that a ding was removed from the driver’s door using paintless dent repair.
2018 Audi R8 V10 Coupe RWS(14,000 Miles)
PCARMARKET – 05.26.2026 3:00 PM EDT
This is one of 320 examples for the U.S. market (60 went to Canada) of Audi’s first rear-wheel drive halo car. The Mythos Black metallic paint wears Audi Club sponsor XPEL’s paint protection film on the front end and roof plus an exterior ceramic coating. The interior features Express Red leather seats, center console and door panel inserts, Carbon Sigma trim inlays, an Alcantara headliner, illuminated door sills, and B&O sound. The 5.2L V10 is altered with a Weistec Engineering ECU tune and a RYFT titanium exhaust and powers the rear wheels only through a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports four previous owners, no accidents/damage, and the seller states all maintenance is up to date, including the recent installation of new Porterfield R4-S street brake pads at all four corners.
2018 Audi RS 3 (59,600 Miles)
Cars & Bids – 05.27.2026 3:21 PM EDT
Need a fast but frugal sedan? This Daytona Gray pearl over black example has Advanced Technology, Dynamic, Black Optic, and Driver Assistance packages, adaptive cruise control, and B&O sound. The 2.5L I5 is Audi rated at 400HP/354 lb-ft, exhales into an RS sports exhaust, and pairs well with a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports three previous owners and no accidents/damage but there’s a nasty scrape on the right front splitter.
1993 Audi S4 – World’s Fastest Audi
Bring a Trailer – 05.27.2026 4:22 PM EDT
No Reserve. Let’s end on a fast but sad note. We’ve seen this car on Cars & Bids in August last year where in bid to $33k and then on PCARMARKET where it bid to $35k. Please read all about it in the three listings. Its builder, Jeff Gerner, moved on to the next plain of existence in April this year. I sincerely hope an Audi Club member will buy this car and keep Jeff’s accomplishment and his memory alive. RIP Jeff.
