Audi’s R8 is already being celebrated as one of the most savory, slippery, sex-a-licious supercars ever to roam our roads. And, to our delight, the luxury automaker is acting more like a sports car maker like Ferrari or Porsche by continuing to evolve the flagship sports model.
In addition to the simplified grille work front and back and that military-grade flat gray paint job, modifications to this particular R8 mule include widened sail panels, implying the need for more air into the mid-mounted engine than satisfies the standard 4.2-liter V-8 in the regular R8.
Our spy’s guess is that this is the rumored V-10 model, which makes sense, given how much the R8 shares structurally with the V-10-powered Lamborghini Gallardo.
