The Frankfurt Motor Show this fall will see the debut of the  new 2011Audi R8 Spyder along with its 525 hp 5.2 liter V10 engine that gets mated to a standard six-speed manual gearbox or an optional R-tronic automated transmission. The 420hp version with the 4.2-liter V8 fitted to the standard R8, is slated for a later release. Audi, we reckon, doesn’t want to hurt sales of the current A8 in China, Europe and the U.S. and/or doesn’t want a new version overlooked at such an important auto show as Frankfurt. For now… it’s the Audi R8 Spyder’s turn to be in the limelight. [via Autoblog]
