Audi’s most exotic and extreme performance model, the R8, now comes in Spyder form – and exclusively with a V10 in its topless state. Accelerating to 124 mph is a similarly brisk 12.7-second trip. Top speed is 195 mph. This 5.2-liter V10 engine delivers an impressive 525 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, along with peak torque of 391 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm.
The R-tronic automated manual gearbox improves the city figure to 13 mpg – highway mileage remains unchanged. Cosmetically, the exterior gains high gloss black air inlet grilles, spoiler lip and rear outlet grilles.
The placement of the fuel filler cap was also changed due to the lack rear pillars. Changes under sheet metal are focused around chassis strengthening, but otherwise, Audi says the V10 Spyder is mostly unchanged from its hard-top counterpart.
Sitting inside the R8 V10 Spyder one will enjoy a standard Bang & Olufsen 465 watt 12-speaker sound system, uniquely designed for the R8. the R8 V10 and R8 V10 Spyder feature an aluminum double wishbone suspension which is tuned for higher performance than the suspension found in the 4.2 model.
