Cheryl Cole’s Audi R8 for sale
28 September 2009
An Audi R8 previously owned by X Factor babe Cheryl Cole is for sale on Auto Trader.
Girls Aloud singer Cole was the first owner of the 2007 ‘57’ plate German supercar which was registered in her husband’s name; Chelsea and England star Ashley Cole.
And as a car and owner combo, it doesn’t get much sexier than a black Audi R8 and Cheryl Cole.

Powered by a 4.2-litre V8 engine, the Audi R8 develops 420bhp and 317lb/ft of pulling power.
This enables the four-wheel drive supercar to accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 187mph.
The R8 is Audi’s first stab at supercar building and the Ingolstadt company nailed it first time.
Cheryl Cole first arrived on our screens in 2002 after winning Popstars: The Rivals. The next seven years would see the Geordie beauty rack up hit after hit with Girls Aloud while fast becoming a style icon.
Simon Cowell's amazing car history
In 2008, Simon Cowell announced she would be joining The X Factor as a judge, replacing Sharon Osbourne.
As a result of Cowell’s smart move, it is now almost acceptable for men to watch The X Factor.
Since going on sale in 2007, the Audi R8 has been a popular purchase for the rich and famous with well-known owners having included Simon Cowell, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gary Barlow and The Hoff.
When the Coles were getting their chequebook out, they didn’t skip the options list, speccing extras such as the £1,175 Bang and Olufsen sound system and the £4,795 leather pack which features the finest Nappa available.
Now you can get your hands on an Audi R8 which has been the world’s sexiest woman’s daily drive for £66,985 - £30,000 less than it cost the Coles.
It’s for sale with West Yorkshire dealer Shawcroft Motors which has three Audi R8s in stock at the moment.
