2008 Audi R8 – $164,150

This car is the epitome of sleek, and it’s certainly beautiful. However, Audi had to do more than create a great looking car to stick a base price tag of $164,150 on it. The mid-engine 2008 Audi R8 is essentially a super-car for daily drivers. It handles excellently, even sounds fantastic, and is practically unmatched in terms of performance. This is why the R8 has such a high value even when bought used — if you go looking for a second hand 2008 model today, expect to pay at least $65,000.

2008 Audi C6 RS6 – $74,020

Many compared the 2008 Audi C6 RS6 to the brand’s iconic RS2, and it’s easy to see why. This is another Audi creation that’s like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. On the outside you see a good looking, practical vehicle that’s ideal for carting around the family, groceries, or doing any other mundane task. However, under the hood of this wagon is a twin-turbocharged V10 engine that produces 571 hp and packs loads of power. Would you ever have a need to take this car to its limit? Probably not, but it’s fun knowing that you could on a whim.

The brand really hit the mark with this car, because the 2010 Audi RS5 is packed with style, great features, and superb performance. Its looks alone, with its gorgeous curves and profile, are worth the price and made the model highly sought after. However, not everyone in the world who wanted one could get an RS5 due to its limited availability. Under the hood is a 4.2 liter V8 engine that produces 450 hp.

This car won the 24 Hours of Le Mans right alongside its hybrid version, and it’s been proven to perform at the highest level compared to other cars in its class. A single piece chassis, smartly designed airflow management system, and 3.7 liter turbocharged V6 diesel engine are just part of why the R18 Ultra performs so well. The car has never been put up for auction, but it would easily cost several million if it were.

2013 Audi RS4 Avant Quattro – $77,950

Audi’s 2013 RS4 Avant Quattro is just one body style to come out of this line, but its one of the best looking. The model not only handles well, it’s a truly versatile car.
