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 is holding steady at a median of $163,050 in the US market, up 6.2 percent over the past twelve months. This modest gain mirrors a stable price environment after the post-pandemic volatility that affected most modern performance cars.

Recent transaction data shows twelve sales tracked in the last year against a total of twenty-two in the broader dataset, suggesting consistent but not aggressive market participation. With only one active listing currently, supply remains controlled and pricing reflects genuine market equilibrium rather than dealer pressure.

The R8 Type 4S commands a "Collectible" classification at a five-tier score, supported by its position as a stable modern classic and moderate desirability among enthusiasts. The model retains appeal among buyers seeking a mid-range exotic with German engineering credentials, though it lacks the scarcity or legendary status of earlier R8 generations.

Average mileage on transacted examples sits at just over 14,000 miles, consistent with ownership patterns for cars in this price tier—typically maintained as weekend drivers or curated collection pieces rather than daily commuters. The market shows no particular trend toward higher or lower mileage specimens, indicating uniform acceptance across the spectrum.

Liquidity remains moderate, reflecting a stable but not brisk sales pace. The twenty-two total transactions tracked suggest that serious buyers will find stock within a reasonable timeframe, though selection is not abundant and negotiations are likely to reflect current market rates closely.

The base projection holds the R8 Type 4S flat at $163,050 through both the three- and five-year outlook, with zero percent appreciation expected. Current valuations appear to have normalized, and without significant model scarcity, mechanical innovation, or cultural tailwinds, the market signals a holding pattern for existing owners rather than appreciation potential.
