Audi R8 Convertible

At the opening of next week’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi will officially unveil open modification of its supercar Audi R8. This novelty would be called the R8 Spyder and will be equipped with a ten-cylinder 5.2 liters engine.

The power of this engine makes 525 horsepower. Coupe Audi R8 with the motor accelerates up to a hundred kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds, and the dynamic characteristics of the spider has not yet reported. It is possible that due to the greater weight of the open car will be slightly slower than the version with the coupe.

But we know that the R8 Spyder will receive a soft folding top, and not the body “targa” as previously assumed, and will not be sold to the eight-engine volume 4.2 liters – such modification will only be available in the coupe version.

In addition to the model R8 Spyder at the Frankfurt Motor Show will be presented a full-sized hatchback Audi A5 Sportback, built on the basis of Audi A4, as well as the most powerful modification Coupe A5 – RS5.
