Audi R8 Spider Spy Video (Click Here)

Filed Under: Spy Photos Audi

That 4.2-litre has an unmistakable deep thunderous rumble whose sound resonates across plains in search of an admiring ear. Well it found such an ear in our spy photographers who caught the car in full speeding glory being followed around by other Porsche Group products like that orange Lambo and Cayenne Turbo.

The R8 Spider, apart from its retractable soft top, is mechanically similar to its coupe sibling. Notice the twin-clutch R-Tronic gearbox quickly going through its cogs as the R8 approaches corners. The 420hp (309kW) soundtrack does justice to its aggressive but toned-down look. We love the fact that there’s virtually no hiding this monster beneath any type of camouflage, pointing towards an imminent public reveal, either in LA or Detroit.

All we are missing now are the V10 and V12 TDI Spiders. Come Audi, throw a dog a bone, show a little metal ‘flesh’…

Re: Audi R8 Spider (Spy pics & info)

Is the Spyder only being released with the V10?

Looks so much better without those side blades IMO.

Moses7 is on a distinguished road
Audi R8 Spyder back testing near the Ring



I thought that it will be a full convertible not a targa. These pics look like it is still getting a targa type roof.

I've not seen the real deal yet, however, I can say I'd easily go for a coupe! I like the coupes better!

It will be interesting to see how this convertible will fare on the market as it will price-wise be neck and neck with the new Ferrari California, which not only has the advantage of a prancing horse emblem, but it has DSG, additional "seats" and a metal folding roof -- though it's not a mid-engine car.

After the addition of the V10 to the didn't do much if anything to further the R8's status, the spider version is sorely needed IMO to add some fizz to the R8 lineup.
