New Car: 2011 Audi R8 Spyder


The hottest Audi ever has blown its top! These are the first images of the R8 Spyder, after pictures were leaked onto the internet ahead of its scheduled unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Official details will be revealed at the German expo but it is expected that the R8 Spyder will only be available in flagship 518bhp 5.2-litre V10 engined form, with four-wheel drive and the option of a six-speed manual or semi-automatic R-tronic gearbox.

Apart from the addition of an electrically operated fabric folding roof – which drops under the rear deck in front of the engine, just like its sister car the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder – the big visual differences between this model and the coupe are the twin vented flying buttresses, the lack of side blades a brushed aluminium windscreen surround.

Expect the R8 Spyder to go on sale in Spring next year carrying a price tag of around £120,000. For more details click here.
