The star of the auction, and the last item for bid was North America’s first Audi R8 V10 Spyder 5.2 FSI. Last year the first 5.2 FSI coupe in America fetched $500,000 at the same auction. So this year’s hammer price of $230,000 for the Spyder may be considered a bargain. The Audi's winning bid is hardly disappointing considering the premium paid over a car’s expected $165k (est.) base price still means a sizable donation.
