New video footage has appeared on YouTube of one of Audi’s test team giving the new R8 Spyder some stick around the Nurburgring.
The eagerly anticipated drop-top R8 is currently believed to be making its motor show debut at Frankfurt this September, but latest reports from the US suggest the model’s introduction may slip to Detroit in January next year – more on that when we have it.
Meanwhile, check out the video with its howling V10 soundtrack. The Audi 5.2-litre engine makes 525hp and 390lb ft of torque, and is thought to be the only option at launch, although it’s certainly possible the Spyder will be offered with a V8 later on.
