Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Prices are adjusted to the model's median mileage before comparing. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Audi R8 Type 4S in the Australian market is trading at a median of $182,000 AUD, down 8.4% over the past twelve months from higher levels. The car has dropped significantly from its $264,000 original list price, signalling a major correction in the secondary market.

The market for this model shows minimal transaction velocity, with only three sales tracked in the most recent twelve months out of eleven total recorded sales in the database. This thin liquidity means pricing discovery is difficult and individual transactions can move the median substantially; buyers and sellers should expect negotiation room and longer holding periods.

The Type 4S carries a collectible classification as a stable modern classic, though desirability remains low in the Australian market. Without production volume data, the scarcity profile cannot be fully assessed, but the combination of limited transaction history and low collector interest suggests this generation has not yet gained traction with enthusiasts locally.

The current signal is marked as bottomed out with a buy indication, reflecting the view that downside risk has been largely exhausted at this level. However, base-case projections remain bearish, with models suggesting further modest declines to $149,000 over three years and $140,000 over five years, representing cumulative depreciation of around 23% from today.

No active listings are currently tracked, which reinforces the thin liquidity picture and suggests buyers interested in this model may need to search actively or commission a find. The Australian market for the R8 Type 4S appears to be a niche segment where patience and negotiation are required on both sides of a transaction.
