The soft-top Audi R8 Spyder has been spied on the Nurburgring. As expected, the R8's lost its trademark sideblades along with its roof. We'll have to see how that plays out in person at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. [MotorAuthority] More »

We've already speculated what the 2010 Audi R8 Spyder will look like, but now Auto Motor und Sport has video of the V10 roadster ripping 'round the 'Ring. That scream is coming from a suspected 580 HP 5.0-liter twin-turbo V10 from the Audi RS6. Though if you're not quite up for that much punch, the standard engine will be the familiar 4.2-liter V8. Either way, we're thinking more than a few Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder buyers (like Jeremy Clarkson) are wishing they had just waited for this Audi. Video after the jump.

Given the R8's brother-from-another-mother, the Lamborghini Gallardo, has been in drop-top form since 2006 it should come as no surprise we'd be seeing an Audi R8 Spyder at some point. Contrary to earlier reports, the R8 will not be a targa with a lift-off roof, but a genuine soft top convertible utilizing a similar, if not the same, stowage and roof design as the Gallardo Spyder. Hit the jump for our rendering of what the new 2010 Audi R8 Spyder may look like. More »

Driving around without any camouflage, this Audi R8 Spyder has been spotted testing in Germany. Besides the soft top, the first thing you'll notice is the lack of the R8 coupe's trademark "sideblades." The side intake has instead been molded into a more traditional scoop. Hiding under the top, there's suspected to be more air intakes located behind the seats and the obligatory pair of roll-over bars. Breathing through those intakes will be either the standard 4.2-liter V8, or a 5.2-liter V10. This particular car is likely a V10 model, as evidenced by the rear diffuser and two-stake grilles shared with the V10 Coupe. We're assuming the menacing flat black paint won't be a factory option.
