The all-new Audi R8 V10 Spyder Plus is the most
powerful convertible ever made in Ingolstadt. It features all the goodies
you'd find in its fixed-roof sibling, and then some. At its heart, it carries 601 Hp and 560 Nm of
torque, pushed to all four corners through a sporty 7-speed dual-clutch
transmission.
Tipping the scales at 1,587 kg, or 25 kg less than the regular R8 Spyder, this German supercar needs just 3.3
seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, and it will keep going up
to 328 km/h. This represents a 0.3 sec and 10 km/h improvement
over the lesser variant.
Exclusive to the new Audi R8 V10 Spyder Plus is the
micrommata green paint, which is joined by the anthracite gray single frame
grille, black tailpipe covers, standard 19-inch wheels or optional 20-inch
ones, and a predominantly black interior, with Nappa leather, green stitching,
and special floor mats.
Being the range-topping version of the R8 Spyder
family, the new Plus gets a wide range of features, including the standard
bucket seats, 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit, Audi Drive Select, and ceramic
brakes.
The potent machine can also be personalized with 11
regular paint finishes, three colors for the convertible top, five colors for
the side blades, parts in carbon or titanium black on the outside and in the
cabin, and numerous upholstery types, inlays, and colors, all of them available
through the Audi exclusive program.
Prices for the new Audi R8 V10 Spyder Plus start
from € 207,500 (US$ 232,450) in Germany, and the first cars will be delivered in
late summer. No pricing details have been announced for the US market, but
expect it to be more expensive than the current model, which can be had from US$ 175,100.
