2011 Audi R8 Spyder 4.2 FSI Quattro
Straight from the movie set of Iron Man II comes the first undisguised picture of the new Audi R8 Spider. Instead of a targa panel, the Audi R8 Spider will use a traditional fabric roof because it has to differentiate the coupe version from the convertible. Features in this car that are not found in the standard unit include R8 Spider's engine cover being redesigned and the fuel filler cap being moved from the B-pillar to the rear quarter panel to allow for the drop-top arrangement.
However, the convertible will have the R8's V10 5.2-litre with 525 hp, so expect a 0-62mph time of around four seconds and a top speed of almost 200 mph.
The photo leaked to the internet when car dealer Stafford Audi used it as part of a classified advert on PH, which estimated the Audi R8 Spider's price at £105,000 ($177,700 or €123,300). For those who don't know, the Audi R8 Spider will make its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show!
