Audi have been showing a promotional video on Audi TV, I spotted this car early in 2009 at the Nurburgring in the Eifel Valley and then again at the Frankfurt IAA in 2009.
This R8 Spyder runs the 5.2-litre V10 engine found in the coupe. Maximum power is 386kW (518 PS) and peak torque is 530Nm (391 lb-ft). The 0 – 62mph sprint time is 4.1 seconds which is 0.2 seconds off the coupe due to the 100kg extra weight.
