The convertible version of the Audi R8 Spyder has been spied with the top down. The supercar did not have any camouflage and it was finished in Audi’s Vegas Yellow colour.
As expected, when compared to the coupe, there are no changes to the exterior and the interior, except for the foldable roof and a new rear deck. The roof is expected to be a soft-top. A black strip now connects the tail lamps and it offers better cooling to the engine.
Although some reports suggest that the a turbocharged V6 engine could power the R8, this particular model had a V10 engine powering it. The V10 engine will be the same engine that powers the coupe as well. The V6-engined R8 could come at a later stage. Reports suggest that it will be launched in May.
The Audi R8 V10 is available wth a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine in two states of tune. In the base car, it produces 533 bhp at 6,500 rpm. In the top-end car, it produces 602 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 560 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7-speed S-tronic automatic gearbox with paddle shifters and power is sent to all four wheels via the Quattro all-wheel drive system. The coupe accelerates from a standstill to a 100 kmph in 3.2 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 330 kmph.
The Coupe was launchedat the Auto Expo in Delhi last month and it starts at INR 2 crores (ex-showroom, New Delhi) and goes up to INR 2.48 crores (ex-showroom, New Delhi). The supercar competes with the Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Huracan, Mercedes-AMG GT and the Porsche 911 Turbo.
According to a leaked timeline, the Audi R8 Spyder is expected to make its global debut in May this year.
