Audi R8 Spider sketch leaked

Thursday, 26 July 2007

Car Magazine has an exclusive official sketch of what the new R8 Spider will look like. As you can see from the image, it appears the new car will have detachable targa panels instead of a full convertible top. The rear engine covers feature speedster like humps as well as air vents, and the side blades have been drastically reduced. Initially, it will be powered by the R8's 414hp V8, but Audi is planning on giving it the 500hp V10 from the Gallardo.

i thought u said something about handling in your comment never mind ...porches are usually bought by people who don't know shit about cars and think its nice because of the name it made for itself over the years. its a shitty car to buy because you could get much better cars for the money but the really high end ones i admit are nice

is wasnt talking of "reviews" about handling etc. i was talking about concrete laptimes - 6 tracks in germany, italy and GB - driven by prof. racingdrivers.

and why are porsches cars for "feminine men"!? ever driven one?

actually i wasn't talking about the 911 turbo ... was talking about the 911 S that beats the (V8) Audi. Don't know what's the V10 up to but i dont think they've built a better chassis.

i pointed at the r8's looks which would set it at a level with carrera gt, slr oder murcielago - a league in which it definately cant compete.

believe me. it's not as fast as it looks. i've read many many many reviews and comparisons on this audi.

HAHA The R8 is definitely a super car. It has a V10 for crying out loud. Just because its slower than a 911 turbo doesn't mean its NOT a super car. Its just a tad slower than another super car. The R8 Kills the 911 in other aspects like interior, appeal. The R8 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, no questions asked.

I don't like Audis. Especially i dislike the R8 because it looks like a supercar but actually isn't even as fast as a 911 S on the track. it's only a show-off car to take on the boulevard (have seen plenty of them here in hamburg) ...

The R8 is really cool, I see a few of them driving around in Eindhoven, But the Lambo Gallardo is my personal favorite
