V10-powered Audi R8 leaked

15 May, 2008 8 Comments

Definitive proof has emerged of a new V10 flagship for the Audi R8, with several high quality photos and even a video appearing on the web.

Apparently as part of its testing and evaluation, Audi has lent out a few of its V10-powered Audi R8 supercars to a select few current Audi R8 owners in Florida for their opinion on the new model.

While the engine is based on the V10 from the RS6, final power figures are still anyones guess - especially since there has been no word on whether the V10 R8 (possibly RS8) will retain the twin-turbocharged setup as used in the RS6.

The new V10 will mark the third addition to the Audi R8 range, coupled with the standard V8 model and V12 TDI model.

hahaha.shhhh AndrewM ,memory like an elephant don’t you. Im worried about the noise the guy filming it is making,is that deep breathing cause hes excited or hes out of breath from walking 20 feet?

The R8 maybe GODS ring tone but the guy filming it was freaky with his sounds.Oh and I agree with the neighborhood Emilio.Was it stolen which is why he looked like he was about to pull the front spoiler off not to mention sounded like he missed a gear change ?hahaha
