Hello again Audi aficionados! Thank you for clicking on another edition of Auction Watch where we’ve done the internet searching for you. We’ve checked multiple car auction sites looking for Audi models worthy of your bids. Each Thursday we post those listings calling out a car’s highlights, and include a few pictures and a link to the listing. Our goal is to help you find the Audi that you’re looking for in time for you to bid on it.
There are two factory extra high-performance models this week: a 2020 R8 Performance Coupe looking sinister in Mythos Black, and a 2012 R8 GT Coupe in Samoa Orange. Seeking more horsepower from the aftermarket, someone is listing their STaSIS supercharger-equipped Sepang Blue R8 V10 Coupe. There are four more R8s in both body styles this week as well. As usual, there is an RS 4 and a TT to check-out and also five 6-series models to choose from. So scroll on down to check these out, and the rest of this week’s 21 listings. As always, thanks for reading!

2009 Audi R8 Coupe (52,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.30.2024 2:18 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends early this PM! This serious-looking black on black coupe is powered by the 4.2L V8 that also mates to 6-speed manual. Mods include Eurowise intake pipes and a Milltek Sport exhaust that may raise power a bit above the factory 420HP/317 lb-ft numbers. That serious black is Phantom Black pearl with carbon fiber-look wrapped side blades and an aftermarket carbon fiber rear wing. The Carfax report is clean but there’s a scratch on the rear spoiler and cracks in the taillight lenses (see listing’s image gallery).
2008 Audi S6 (57,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.30.2024 3:04 PM EDT
Bid quickly, auction ends mid PM today! No Reserve. This full-size sedan sold previously on BaT in January 2024 for $18,000. The exterior is Ibis White and the black interior has Nappa leather seats, carbon fiber trim, a Technology package, Audi MMI infotainment, and a Bose surround-sound with a 6-disc CD changer.

2006 Audi A6 Avant (27,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.31.2024 2:11 PM EDT
The Night Blue pearl exterior on this long roof is wonderfully contrasted by the Amaretto leather seats, door panel trim and seatbelts. The rest of the black interior has walnut wood trim, Audi MMI infotainment, and a Bose sound for the CD changer in the glovebox. The 3.2L V6, Audi rated at 255HP/243 lb-ft, pairs with a 6-speed Tiptronic to power the quattro drive. The Carfax report confirms one-owner, no accidents or damage and a good service history.
2014 Audi Allroad (85,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.31.2024 2:47 PM EDT
No Reserve. Another long roof, this one’s listed as white, I’m guessing Ibis White, with gray cladding. The roomy interior in this Premium Plus level-trim model has Titanium Gray leather seats, woodgrain trim, B&O sounds, and Audi infotainment with navigation. The turbocharged 2.0L I4 is factory rated at 220HP/258 lb-ft and drives an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports no accidents or damage but there are scratches along the right side of the car shown up close in pictures 83-85.
2011 Audi R8 V8 Spyder (50,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.31.2024 4:01 PM EDT
Original owner until July 2023. This drophead coupe is powered by Audi’s N/A 4.2L V8 (420HP/317 lb-ft) and connected to a 6-speed manual. That exterior is Phantom Black pearl with a black convertible soft top over black cabin featuring red leather seats and door panels, also B&O sound and an infotainment system with Audi Navigation Plus. The Carfax is clean and the seller recommends replacing the Pirelli P Zero tires.
2008 Audi RS 4 (25,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.31.2024 4:27 PM EDT
This sedan has the same drivetrain as above, N/A 4.2L V8 and a 6-speed manual but gears are now selected through a short-shift kit. The chassis now rides on KW suspension components. The exterior is also Phantom Black pearl and the black cabin has Nappa leather Recaro front seats with contrasting piping and debossed RS4 logos, also Piano Black trim though the listing says its carbon fiber. The Carfax report is clean.
2004 Audi TT Roadster 225 (35,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 05.31.2024 4:31 PM EDT
Another black drophead coupe, this one’s Brilliant Black with a black soft top over black cabin featuring Aviator Gray leather seats. The rest of the interior is less than perfect, one of the Bose speakers is inoperative and there are dead pixels on the digital display. The drivetrain is a turbocharged 1.8L I4 factory rated at 225HP/207 lb-ft and a 6-speed manual. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
2008 Audi A4 S line (37,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.01.2024 2:54 PM EDT
No Reserve. Where are these low-mileage cars coming from? This Brilliant Red example is originally from New Jersey and is motivated by a 2.0L I4 Audi rated at 200HP/207 lb-ft and it pairs with a 6-speed Tiptronic. The black interior has leather seats, aluminum trim, and Audi Symphony AM/FM CD stereo. Carfax reports one-owner and no accidents or damage.
2008 Audi Q7 4.2 S line (66,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.01.2024 4:04 PM EDT
No Reserve. Who needs a minivan when you could have a Q7? This Phantom Black pearl, full-sized SUV has a cavernous black interior with a light headliner (that’s sagging in the rear), aluminum trim, and panoramic sunroof to brighten things up. It also has leather seats, 4-zone automatic climate control, Audi MMI infotainment, navigation, and 14-speaker Bose surround sound. The 4.2L V8 (350HP/325 lb-ft) connects to a 6-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports minor damage to the rear from an accident with another vehicle in July 2019. The bulb failure light is also illuminated.
2015 Audi R8 V8 Spyder (11,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.02.2024 2:20 PM EDT
Most low-mileage R8 we’ve seen on Auction Watch are powered by a V10 but this Florett Silver metallic spyder is V8-powered. Said V-8 is Audi rated at 430HP/317 lb-ft and mated to the desirable gated 6-speed manual and exhales into a valved Frequency Intelligent exhaust. It’s well-optioned too, about $20K worth of exterior and interior bling brought the MSRP up to $154,495. See the window sticker in the picture gallery for details. The Carfax report is clean.
2022 Audi RS 6 Avant (23,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.03.2024 1:33 PM EDT
This is another well-optioned vehicle: Executive, Driver Assistance, Carbon Optic, and RS Design (in gray) packages, Dynamic Ride Control, sport exhaust, B&O Advanced 3D sound, and Night Vision Assistant. It’s Nardo Gray outside, black with Rock Gray stitching inside. WeatherTech floor mats and cargo liner protect those surfaces. Power flow from a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 and 48-volt mild hybrid system to the 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
2020 Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe (9,300 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.03.2024 2:30 PM EDT
In Performance specification, the 5.2L V10 is factory rated at 602HP/413 lb-ft so it came equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes for better stopping power. Mods include 20” Vossen HF-2 wheels and KW V2 coilovers. The exterior is Mythos Black metallic with a Gloss Carbon Styling Package, tinted windows, and black tinted turn signals lenses. The black interior has leather seats Express Red stitching, carbon fiber trim, and B&O sound. Carfax reports no accidents or damage.
2011 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (23,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.03.2024 2:41 PM EDT
This Sepang Blue pearl coupe with body-color fuel filler cap, side blades, and engine cover vents was acquired new by the seller and modified for track use with installation of a STaSIS supercharger and slotted disc brakes as well as a GMG Racing harness bar with color-matching Schroth Racing four-point harnesses. The exterior wears matte paint protection film and the interior has Limestone Gray leather seats to contrast that harness. The transmission is a 6-speed manual, no word on any clutch mods to handle the extra power. Carfax reports one-owner and no accidents or damage.
2017 Audi S6 (51,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.03.2024 3:36 PM EDT
No Reserve. This full-size sedan is finished in Glacier White metallic with a Black Optic package over a black interior that has Valcona leather front sport seats, Carbon Atlas trim navigation, and Bose surround sound. Under the hood is a twin-turbo V8 Audi rated at 450HP/406 lb-ft that connects to a 7-speed S tronic. Carfax reports no accidents or damage but the tires have 2018 date codes and both bumpers aren’t in perfect shape.
2000 Audi S4 (148,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.04.2024 2:00 PM EDT
No Reserve. This is a bit of a sleeper. The 2.7L twin-turbocharged V6 now runs an APR Stage 2+ ECU tune, exhales into an aftermarket cat-back exhaust, and spins a 6-speed manual aided by an aftermarket clutch kit. It’s painted period-popular Light Silver metallic and the cabin has two-tone black leather/silver Alcantara seats, aluminum trim, an Alpine head unit, and Bose sound. Other mods include Koni adjustable coilovers, a Hotchkis Sport front sway bar, and 034Motorsport rear sway bar bushings. Carfax reports an accident in April 2022 resulting in minor damage to the rear; the center display screen pixels need repair and there are a few more Known Flaws listed.
2018 Audi S5 Sportback (49,000 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.04.2024 3:06 PM EDT
This Daytona Gray pearl B9 generation sportback looks at home in the snow, in fact, Pirelli winter tires are included in the sale. The black interior has optional Fine Nappa leather seats with Rock Gray stitching, Carbon Atlas inlays, Navigation package, and B&O 3D sound. Other options are S sport and 19” wheel packages. The only mod is paint protection film on the front end. The first year of the B9 generation, it’s powered by a turbocharged 3.0L V6 (349HP/369 lb-ft) connected to an 8-speed Tiptronic. Carfax reports minor damage to the front right in December 2019; please see the Known Flaws section of the listing for a few more items.
2016 Audi S5 Coupe (30,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.04.2024 4:06 PM EDT
The B8.5 generation is powered by a supercharged 3.0L V6 (333HP/325 lb-ft) and this example spins a 6-speed manual and an optional Sport diff. Another Daytona Gray pearl car, this one has Black Optic and Black Optic plus packages. Inside you’ll find black Fine Nappa leather seats, Carbon Atlas inlays, a Technology package, and B&O sound. The Carfax report is clean but the seller states the brakes and rotors need to be replaced.
2012 Audi R8 GT Coupe (18,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.04.2024 4:14 PM EDT
This is #115 of the 333 GT models produced worldwide/150 for the North American market. That color is Samoa Orange metallic, it has Carbon Sigma side blades, CFRP carbon fiber front splitter, rear diffuser, fixed rear wing, and tinted windows complete the look. The black cabin has the Enhanced R8 GT Leather package and lots of carbon fiber trim. In this spec, the 5.2L V10 is factory rated at 560HP/398 lb-ft, this one wears Larini valved mufflers, and it pairs with a 6-speed R tronic. The Carfax report is clean but a dent on the hood was addressed via paintless dent repair in 2016 and a paint touch-up is noted on the hood.
2021 Audi RS 6 Avant (7,400 Miles)
cars & bids – 06.05.2024 1:54 PM EDT
This u࣫ber Avant is not as fully-loaded as the one a few listings above, but has the Cognac leather seats with Granite Gray stitching that are so popular. It is a year older but only has one-third the mileage. The Nardo Gray exterior is covered by XPEL paint protection film “on the exterior body panels”, I assume that means the entire car. Other than that, the long roof is unmodified, has a clean Carfax report, but does have a small blemish on the front passenger’s door window trim (see picture #27).
2006 Audi A8 L (29,000 Miles)
Bring a Trailer – 06.05.2024 3:18 PM EDT
This Audi flagship is finished in Platinum Beige pearl over a Sand Beige interior that has heated and ventilated Valcona leather seats, beige birch wood trim, and Bose sound. No info in the listing on when the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires were mounted. The drivetrain is a N/A 4.2L V8, factory rated at 350HP/325 lb-ft, a 6-speed Tiptronic, and a Torsen center diff. The Carfax report is clean but seller recommends replacing the lid struts as the engine lid does not stay open on its own, and Audi MMI infotainment screen does not fold down.
