Spectacular design and breathtaking dynamism, combined with the allure of open-top driving - Audi presented the new Audi R8 Spyder V10 at the 2015 New York International Auto Show. Its V10 naturally aspirated engine supplies 397 kW (540 hp) and 540 Nm (398.3 lb-ft) of torque. The new open-roof high-performance sports car opens another chapter in the Audi R8 success story. It all started in 2007 with the market introduction of the first-generation Coupe, followed by the Spyder in 2010. Sales of both versions combined reached nearly 27,000. They demonstrate the high-tech expertise of Audi and the brand's affinity with motorsport. The brand restates this with the second R8 generation - its engineers developed the new Audi R8 Le Mans, a GT3 racing car, in parallel with the production models. As a result, almost 50 percent of all the parts used on the R8 LMS are also to be found in the R8. The success of the new Coupe is confirmed by prestigious awards bestowed on it last year, such as the "Golden Steering Wheel" and the "Auto Trophy".
