What you're looking at
The headline prize is an Audi R8 running a twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V10, with an itemized build sheet the operator totals at $149,500. The centerpiece is a Turbosmart 6466 "mirror image" turbo setup with the T51R mod — $36,000 of the list on its own — fed by custom CSF intercoolers, Turbosmart wastegates and blow-off valves, a front-mounted coolant expansion tank and an upgraded brushless fuel pump, all managed by a MoTeC standalone ECU with race and flame maps ($16,000). Spent gas exits through a custom center-exit racing exhaust. The claim is 1,000-plus horsepower and 800-plus lb-ft.
The rest of the money is aero, stopping power and cosmetics: a facelifted front bumper, carbon-fiber wing, splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, mirror covers, door vents, window vents, rear bumper trim, front canards and a carbon engine bay; carbon-ceramic brakes at $14,000; gloss black Rohana RFX11 wheels; KW adjustable lowering springs; and a Hexis satin green super chrome wrap. Inside, a starlight headliner, carbon-fiber steering wheel and custom stitching.
What is not published anywhere on the giveaway page: the model year, the mileage, or a VIN. On a car whose baseline value swings from roughly $80,000 to $140,000 depending on generation and odometer, those are the three numbers that decide what this prize is actually worth.
Why the platform matters
The R8's V10 is the last of a species — a high-revving, naturally aspirated ten-cylinder in a mid-engine chassis, shut down for good when Audi ended R8 production in 2024. Boosting one is not a bolt-on job. A high-compression NA V10 asks for serious fueling and heat management before it will take that kind of pressure, and this build at least claims to have addressed it: brushless pump, custom CSF cores, front-mounted expansion tank, standalone engine management rather than a piggyback.
The honest caveats travel with the territory. On heavily boosted R8s the dual-clutch transmission and driveline are usually the ceiling, not the engine, and a car making four figures of horsepower is a car that eats clutches and axles if it is driven the way the wrap suggests. Four-digit power claims on a street-driven V10 typically assume race fuel or an aggressive map; the day-to-day tune is normally softer. Carbon-ceramic brakes are magnificent until a rotor needs replacing. And a MoTeC standalone means your service path runs through a calibrator who knows this specific combination, not an Audi dealer — factor that into where you live before you picture yourself driving it.
The fine print worth knowing
This is a winner's-choice prize, not a single car. The R8 is one of eight options: the others are a widebody Hellcat plus $50,000, a 1,200-hp GT-R, a custom Raptor R plus $10,000, a twin-turbo Chevelle plus $30,000, a Lamborghini-inspired Ducati plus $50,000, a custom Road King plus $50,000, or a straight $100,000 in cash. The R8 comes with no cash attached, which means a winner who takes it also takes the full tax bill on a six-figure prize out of pocket — budget for that before you budget for tires.
On mechanics: the deadline printed across the site is "Ends 10/4/26," with no clock time and no time zone stated anywhere. The operator says a winner is announced 7 to 14 business days after the deadline. No odds of winning and no cap on total entries are disclosed. Entry packs run from $15 for 750 entries up to $150 for 8,500, and there are recurring VIP memberships from $14.99 to $49.99 per month that advertise entry multipliers and large automatic monthly entry allotments — read the subscription terms carefully, because those bill monthly until cancelled. The free route is a web form worth 10 entries, and the operator's complete free-entry procedure lives in the official rules document linked from the site.

Why It's Special
The 5.2-liter V10 is the whole reason to care. It is the last naturally aspirated ten-cylinder Audi ever sold in the US, architecturally a cousin to the Lamborghini Huracán engine, and Audi ended R8 production in 2024 — so the supply is now fixed forever. Twin-turbo R8s are a small, self-selecting group: the kits run deep into five figures, the calibration work is bespoke, and almost every one is a one-off rather than a catalog car. The Hexis satin green super chrome wrap is not a finish you will park next to at a cars and coffee.
Our value estimate
$150,000
The operator publishes a $149,500 "total build value," and that number is exactly the sum of the itemized modification list — turbos, carbon aero, ceramics, wheels, wrap and interior work. It prices the modifications, not the car underneath them, and there is no published approximate retail value for the finished prize. No model year, odometer reading or VIN is published for the R8, and those three facts move this figure more than anything on the mod sheet. Grounding it in the market: a 2018 R8 V10 (Type 4S) with 8,000 miles sold for $140,000 on Bring a Trailer in October 2024; classic.com's 2018 Type 4S V10 data shows seven sales averaging roughly $140,600 with a $125,000 low and a $157,000 high; and a 36,000-mile 2017 R8 V10 failed to clear a $107,000 reserve on Bring a Trailer in February 2025. Kelley Blue Book currently puts a 2017 R8 V10 coupe near $110,000 resale and a V10 Plus near $137,000. Because the prize car's mileage is unpublished, there is no way to hold comps inside a ±10% mileage band — the sales above span 2024 to 2026 across the Type 4S range instead of a tight window. Modified exotics rarely return their receipts. A big-boost V10 on a standalone MoTeC ECU narrows the buyer pool sharply, and $149,500 of parts typically converts to something closer to a third of that at resale, even when the parts are genuinely good (the $14,000 carbon-ceramic setup and the full carbon aero package are real money). Call it a roughly $105,000–$125,000 R8 underneath plus a realistic slice of the build: about $150,000, with a defensible range of $125,000–$175,000 depending on which generation and what the odometer says. One useful floor — the operator's own alternative for this prize slot is $100,000 cash, and if a winner takes the money, that is the number, not the build sheet.
