For those who want supercar performance
and open-top cruising, you can now order the new Audi R8 'Spyder' convertible.
The Audi R8 Spyder features a convertible roof that
can close in 20 seconds while going 31 miles an hour, meaning you only have to
deal with the rain for a short period of time before the top is up. To
compensate for the lack of a roof, the Audi R8 Spyder has been given a touch of
structural reinforcement.
Perhaps the saddest news is the monstrous V10 Plus
engine output is missing. Even with absurd levels of performance and a bit more
puppy fat, the R8 V10 Spyder manages claimed 24.1mpg and CO2 emissions of 445g/mile
thanks in part to the addition of stop and start.
The cabin of the car is also a sight to behold,
largely because it is stylish and comfortable but also because the usual dials
are replaced with a screen. The gauges are now on a 12.3-inch, fully digital
display that uses 3D graphics to let you know what is going on in terms of your
speed, the song you are currently streaming, navigation directions – all the
stuff you want right in front of you. Another addition is the Audi smartphone
interface, which originally debuted in the Q7 and A4. Connect an Android or iOS
smartphone and certain content is displayed in the aforementioned Audi virtual
cockpit display.
"The R8 V10 Plus is not just a
formidable supercar, it's one you would willing want to drive to the shops. To
work. To bloody anywhere you can think of because, quite honestly, you will
never want to venture outside of the cabin."
The Audi R8 V10 Spyder has a starting price of
$129,990. Orders are open now and Audi said first deliveries are expected in
'late 2016'.
