Audi launched the Spyder version of the R8 GT, the semi stripped-out race-inspired version of the R8, which just like its hardtop sibling is limited to 333 units worldwide.

Visual modifications accentuate the styling of the R8 GT Spyder. These include additional contrasting titanium grey trim elements, [...]

Audi R8 is an amazing car. It is the symbol of modern supercars which are quit easy to live with, yet are so fast that if you are not awake while playing rough with them, you very well might end up with your pants really wet!
