| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? MotorTrend said the same in September 28: A 5.2-liter 480-hp V-10 (SR8 or R8S?) and a lightened version of the vehicle are rumored to be in development. http://www.motortrend.com/features/a...ris_motor_show Also a Spyder/Roadster version is rumored to be in the works.

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? The Motorvision had tested the Audi R8... and the program presented as competitors: - Maserati Gransport (400hp) - Corvette C6 (404hp) - Porsche 911 GT3 (415hp) - MB SL 500 (388hp) - Jaguar XKR (416hp) - Aston Martin V8 Vantage (385hp) Its a great review, but, it is in German and I understood little of what the presenter spoke :/ |

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp?  Check out this R8 posted by forum user Nightranger in another thread. It was his contention that this car is a V10 version of Audi's supercar in testing at the Nurburghring. Though there's nothing conclusive that proves that claim, this is certainly an odd duck. The HH on the license plates and preproduction status of the R8 suggest this is a car owned by quattro GmbH. Note also some details pointed out by Nightranger. The side blade intake is rounded out for greater airflow to the motor. Also, a new sideskirt design on this particular R8 is similar in design to the skirts on the S5. So what do you think? V10?

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? V10 Audi R8 spied  High Resolution 560x310 Car Magazine caught the V10 version of the R8 in testings at the Nurburgring track in Germany. The V10 engine will ick out around 80bhp over than the current V8, plus a wedge more torque. This should bring it up to somewhere near the magic 500bhp mark, giving the R8 a healthy dollop of mid-range punch over the current V8. Official data on the R8 V10 is sketchy at the moment, but we can expect this range-topper to out-run its smaller-engined sibling. It doesn’t take a scientist to work out that this car will beat the existing V8’s 4.6sec run to 62mph and head even closer to 200mph. V10 Audi R8 spied - Top Speed

| Re: Audi R8 V10 According to Inside Line , Audi R8 will get the same engine with RS6 next year... "Rumors of a V10-powered R8 have been circulating ever since modified prototypes were spotted testing at the Nürburgring. With the recent debut of the RS6's twin-turbo V10, word is the same 5.2-liter power plant will find its way into the R8 late next year." More details... http://www.edmunds.com/insidel...22513
