Lapping the ‘ring the latest incarnation of the Audi R8 has been spotted sporting a slightly new look, along with a lovely E-sticker – presumably to stop the fire that destroyed a previous test at the green hell.
Apart from the stealth-like colour the car is un-camouflaged and you can see some noticeable differences to the standard R8. The air intakes on the side have increased and a 2 strut grille on the front bumper has replaced the 3 struts - along with 2 struts instead of 4 on the rear - allowing the air to go through the engine more efficiently. Also the exhaust configuration has changed to 2 single pipes from the dual pipes, plus to aid the stopping of the V10 the car has bigger brakes.
The R8 V10 is expected to go on sale next year with its V10 pushing out 500bhp.
