V8-powered Audi R8 Spyder in a tube?
A Audi R8Spyder was introduced during Frankfurt with a stonking V10 powertrain nestled snugly in the foot, but which doesn’t indispensably meant which a righteous 525-horsepower indent will be the R8 droptop’s only source of power. The West Seashore friends at Inside LIne insist that a more inaccordwith 4.2-liter V8 that powers the “base” R8 is starting to be offered as good… in the future.
The availability of the V8-powered Spyder could dump the price of entrance by $30,000 or more, and it could prove to be an tasteful option to intensity business who are some-more meddlesome in a R8 Spyder as the fashion statement than as the near-supercar with superb opening. IL estimates which a V8-powered, topless R8 could arrive in showrooms someday next year.
Who knows, maybe Audi will find it in its common heart to implement a updated, better-breathing 450-hp 4.2-liter that is scheduled to arrive under the bonnet of a RS5 – not a bad satisfaction prize for a luxury car buyer seeking to turn part of the 500 Horsepower Club.
