With all these fires and crashes of Audi’s super car, the R8, it’s curious to know how interested would be those rich guys to buy the new one, which will be much more powerful. Evo Magazine got an interview with Audi and found out more about it. Apparently the biggest upgrade will be on the engine side, which is now a V10 that sports 520-bhp inspired from Audi’s RS4 V8 engine.
Sounds like a good idea but I’m sure if I would like to see a convertible before a more powerful new R8. Time will tell if they took the right path.

That car looks more aggressive than a previous model. Great sport car for a half of the Lambo price.

The V10 isnt inspired from the RS4 V8 at all. Its a copy of the 5 litre V10 that currently does duty in the Gallardo.
