I’m hoping by the end of the year to have one of these in my garage !
I have been a huge Audi fan for some time and am just blown away by the radness of this new beauty that was revealed yesterday at the IAA motor show in Frankfurt.
When Audi released it at the show they kindly had the whole thing filmed and streamed live online , they also unveiled a new Electric version of the R8 called the e-tron that was the car behind the electricity untamed campaign I spoke about the other day here. The e-tron will be on sale from 2012, its pretty crazy click here to read the e-tron specs etc.
Meanwhile check out the R8 Spyder specs and pics below, if you suddenly feel very generous / or happed to win a tone of cash just call me and will gladly accept one as a gift. (Its on sale now in Europe)
