Lot KT001: 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus

For a 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus, maintenance costs vary significantly depending on whether you’re looking at a stock example or a modified one like this Boost Logic twin-turbo build!

Stock R8 V10 Plus Annual Costs

Based on owner reports and industry data, expect roughly $10,000–$25,000 annually for routine ownership, with ~$15,000 being a common average:

• Routine service: $200–$1,000 per visit (oil changes around $200–$400)
• Tires: $1,000–$1,500+ per set (those 20” wheels add up!)
• Brake jobs: $3,500+ (carbon ceramics cost more upfront but last longer)
• Insurance: $200–$500+/month depending on your profile
• Fuel: Premium required, mid-teens MPG in real-world driving

Modified/Twin-Turbo Considerations

This specific R8 has a Boost Logic twin-turbo kit pushing 862 whp at 8 lbs of boost—nearly double the stock ~610 HP! That changes the math:

• More frequent oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil
• Increased stress on the transmission, clutch (even though this one’s auto), and drivetrain
• Turbo-specific maintenance: Intercooler checks, boost line inspection, wastegate function
• Tuning support: The dual Motec ECUs require specialized knowledge—not every Audi dealer will touch this
• Higher wear rates: More power = more heat = faster consumption of wear items

With 43k total miles (8k on the turbo build), you’re also approaching major service intervals. Budget closer to the high end of that $15k–$25k+ range, and keep a contingency fund for potential turbo-related issues.
