The R8 has got the performance of the supercar, yet it's refined and comfy enough to become driven year-round. Both engines seem great and provide impressive performance.

Despite its beautiful, racy looks and Lamborghini-bred performance, the R8 is civilized enough they are driving every single day. The gutsy 4.2-liter V-8 is sufficient strong, however the wailing, 525-hewlett packard V-10 improves the R8 to Ferrari competitor. Stay with the six-speed manual and it is open-gate metal shifter.

Base Cost : $128,950 - $198,050

Think about the R8 selection complete, or at best shaped for the time being. With the help of this lightened R8 GT Spyder, Audi has balanced the coupe and convertible sides with three models each: the V-8 cars, the V-10s, and also the more-effective V-10 GT versions. As was the situation using the GT coupe, only 333 GT Spyders is going to be created for worldwide consumption.

When the hardtop R8 GT may be the lineup’s luxury race vehicle, the GT Spyder is much better suited to quick pre-race parade laps. It will get exactly the same uprated 5.2-liter V-10 (560 hewlett packard, 398 lb-foot of torque) because the GT coupe, again paired exclusively with Audi’s R tronic single-clutch automated manual for GT duty. The Spyder also sees similar aero and dress-up doodads: a carbon-fiber front splitter and rear spoiler, a carbon-fiber rear bumper with integrated diffuser, and 19-inch wheels. The suspension will get a .4-inch drop here, too. The primary difference would be that the Spyder’s top goes lower.

To produce the GT Spyder, Audi place the droptop R8 dieting comparable-although not identical-towards the coupe’s. Rather than cutting about 150 pounds in U.S. spec such as the hardtop GT (European cars save one more 70 pounds with lightweight abs plastic seats), the Spyder should lose only 107 (accessibility to the abs plastic seats continues to be to become determined). Because the convertible vehicle is heavier to start with, the load-saving measures should take it lower towards the arena of a normal V-10 coupe, around 3800 pounds
