Audi R8 Spyder Cars Pictures

Audi R8 Spyder

Just in time for summer, Audi's R8 is blowing its top! These sensational spy shots show the latest addition to its R8 range – the Spyder.

Caught testing at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany, it gets a neat electrically operated folding soft-top roof – just like the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.

A soft-top has been chosen as it weighs less than a folding hard top, which would blunt performance and raise the car’s centre of gravity.

One detail that's missing from the Spyder compared to the coupe version are its signature ‘sideblades’ – it's likely that Audi has dropped these to further distinguish the two cars.

Audi is expected to launch the V8 R8 Spyder at the Franj\kfurt Motor in September, with the V10 Spyder appearing six months later.
