Audi’s impressive design masterstroke, the record breaking R8, has now become an open-top sibling, which only is expected to gain equivalent accolade. Constructed around a Lamborghini-derived V10 powertrain, delivering hair-tousling 525 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, the Spyder accelerates to 62mph in a mere four seconds sprint. However, the Spyder misses the distinct R8 trademark side-blades which visual capacity ostensibly have been replaced by a pair of finned air intakes behind the seats. Further notably is the full automated soft top that frees the experience in under 19 seconds, or likewise guards against rain.
