Signature Car Hire are delighted to announce the arrival of the awesome Audi R8 V10 Supercar finished in Ibis White and available to hire. The R8 V10 is a masterpiece; a supreme feat of design engineering and automotive genius. It certainly has a jump-start on many of its direct rivals especially as it’s virtually an everyday Lamborghini as both cars have much the same automotive DNA.
The Magnum Opus of Self Drive Hire
Our White Audi R8 V10 is a prime example of technical precision from Audi, the German marque celebrated for first class motor engineering. Signature Car Hire is proud to offer this performance car on a self drive hire basis. So, if you want to take this car for a spin this weekend, give us a call on 0845 370 222 and we can arrange it for you or get a quick quote on-line.
This performance car is an elite choice for a self drive rental because it fuses style and substance in not only the performance but also the exterior and interior features.
Performance
Its mighty 5.2-litre FSI V10 engine has an incredible 525 bhp on offer – enough to propel you from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 196mph. Naturally, the R8 V10 is equipped with Audi’s legendary permanent all-wheel-drive quattro technology, so road-holding is assured and grippy. The R8 V10 is a masterpiece; with its supreme performance, muscular torque and high-revving concept peaking at 8,700rpm, it has all the key ingredients of a fascinatingly spontaneous power unit, making it impressively agile and remarkably free revving. The R tronic sequential gearbox also gives you that authentic motorsport driving feel when you take your performance hire vehicle out on the open road.
It’s a high-performance Supercar you can drive every day. The level of design consideration applied means, for a vehicle of its type, the R8 V10 is amazingly practical.
Bespoke Milltek Exhaust System
Our Audi R8 V10 has recently been subjected to an extensive R&D programme to develop a custom built stainless steel high performance race exhaust system by MILLTEK exhausts who is a globally recognised high end exhaust manufacturer.
This means, our R8 V10 is currently the only car in the world with such a system until it is distributed globally. The exhaust provides an increased performance gain of circa 25 bhp and provides better torque all the way through the rev range.
The highlight of all this, as you can imagine, is the intoxicating howl of the naturally aspirated V10 engine. A sound that rivals that of any Lamborghini for which it shares its engine!
Exterior
The R8 V10 Coupé’s striking silhouette makes a clear, bold statement the moment you see it. It’s elegant, assured, poised and athletic. The unmistakable stream of LED daytime running lights contribute to the striking visual impact of the car’s composition and were designed to catch the eye. The single-frame grille growls. The multiple fins on the sports air intakes, while totally functional for cooling the R8’s mechanical components, are designed with panache, flair and style. Supercars are renowned for being difficult to operate in stop-start road conditions but with the R8 V10, this just isn’t the case. The canvas of the R8 V10 makes it perfect for a prestige self drive hire. It’s effortless, easy, sophisticated and an unadulterated joy making this the ideal car to arrive in style at an event; or for a weekend away perhaps?
The paintwork is gleaming Ibis White and the body of the car is a Coupé, which gives it a stunning aerodynamic look compared to other Supercars.
Believe us when we say that this car is a real head turner!
Interior
The all-encompassing passenger and driving seats are finished in Black Fine Nappa leather which extends onto the dashboard, top shoulder, side panel, storage compartment in doors, monoposto, cowl, knee bolster and function pads offering you a comfortable and luxurious journey. Other impressive features include an anti-theft car alarm, this will help you feel secure and at ease when you rent this car on a self drive hire basis.
You’ll feel instantly at home in the driver’s seat of the R8 V10 Coupé. With your hands on the wheel, every control you need to operate is within 30cm’s reach. Your fingers fall naturally to each beautifully crafted control. The instrumentation is appealing and uncluttered. Inspired by Audi racing cars, it’s the picture of clarity, leaving you in no doubt about the R8’s operating status. From the brushed aluminium-look shift paddles with the R tronic transmission to the multi-function steering wheel, to even the window switches, everything feels engineered to perfection - because it is.
Not only that, but this model is packed full of the latest innovative technologies including satellite navigation, Bluetooth technology, a reversing camera and park distance control.
In fact all the must have boys toys!
Luxury is also at a premium on the R8 V10, making your Audi rental a dream drive. Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi Music interface, (with universal connection for use with stereo audio sources, USB, MP3 and Apple devices) electric heated seats, cruise control, alcantara headlining, Carbon Sigma sideblades, interior and engine bay (with illuminating LED lighting) make this model luxurious and comfortable. It also has a light and rain sensor package with auto dipping headlights!
When you think of a Supercar, whether or not you can carry your luggage is probably not the first thought that springs to mind. Yet again, the R8 V10 is different. There’s ample space between the seats and the mid-mounted engine, plus room under the front bonnet for extra stowage.

Room to Enjoy
High-performance Supercars have a reputation for being cramped, hot, difficult to drive and uncomfortable - that reputation isn’t entirely unjustified. However, the Audi R8 Coupé re-writes the rule book. Every modern automotive feature and convenience you could require is supplied so you don’t sacrifice comfort for magnificent performance.
Airbag protection and electronic safety systems
There are two full-size airbags for you and your passenger. They are deployed in two stages to further minimise the risk of injury. Furthermore, side airbags for your head and thorax region are integrated into the seat backrests.
The onboard technologies on Audi vehicles make them some of the safest in the world – especially when road conditions are less than perfect.
- ABS - The Anti-lock Braking System works by momentarily releasing and then applying the brakes when it detects a skid resulting in reduced stopping distances and the ability to turn under emergency braking.
- ASR - Anti-Slip Regulation – or traction control – reduces power to any wheel that is in danger of spinning. Full power is returned when traction is re-established.
- EBD - Electronic Brake-force Distribution works in conjunction with ABS to ensure an even maximum braking force between the front and rear wheels.
- EDL - The Electronic Differential Lock allows a smooth getaway on surfaces with mixed levels of grip.
- ESP - Audi’s Electronic Stability Programme uses the four technologies above. It identifies the intended direction and applies braking to individual wheels to help keep the car stable.
