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 currently trades at a median of $163,050 in the US market, representing a 9.3 percent gain over the past twelve months and trading roughly 6 percent below its original $174,000 list price. The upward trajectory signals steady appreciation, though the market remains measured rather than aggressive.

Transaction velocity has been moderate, with twelve sales recorded in the past year against an eighteen-unit total sample across all tracked periods. This sample size provides reasonable confidence in pricing signals but indicates that buyers and sellers should expect measured liquidity rather than rapid turnover.

The typical R8 Type 4S transacting today carries approximately 10,700 miles, suggesting that most examples in the market are relatively low-mileage and well-preserved—consistent with the car's classification as a stable modern classic. This condition profile supports the stable pricing environment.

The five-point collectibility score reflects the model's position as a desirable modern supercar with moderate collector appeal, though production volumes remain undisclosed. The combination of engineering pedigree, distinctive design, and limited market supply maintains steady demand among enthusiasts and investors.

Base projections hold the current median flat over both the three and five-year horizons, suggesting the market has stabilized after recent gains. The single active listing and moderate liquidity profile indicate that well-maintained examples will likely hold value, though meaningful appreciation momentum may be limited near term.
