Manchild Matt Farah says the 710 hp STaSIS V10 R8 is so good it leaves him speechless. Unfortunately, when he can't speak he lets out an unnerving maniacal laugh. It's the only thing that'll make you want more commentary. More »

After a 4 AM alarm, a 1-hour flight, a 1-hour drive, five minutes of paperwork, and a very short elevator ride, this was the sight that greeted us in the bowels of Audi’s Ingolstadt headquarters. We giggled like schoolboys. Little did we know what would await us. More »

Let all the hearsay and rumor cease, the puppet masters at VW have released the complete details on the Audi R8 V10 just in time for Christmas the Detroit Auto Show. The R8 V10 is a 5.2-liter affair generating officially, 517 HP at a heady 8,000 RPM and 390 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 RPM. All that grunt serves to deliver a 0-to-62 MPH time of 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 196 MPH. But the engine isn't the only place getting enhanced. More details and the press release below.

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.

We’re seriously impressed with MTM’s take on the Audi R8 — not just with the performance made possible by the supercharged engine’s 560 HP and 428 lb-ft of torque, but with the way it looks. The tuning company has done a much better job at making the svelte R8 both more aggressive and more elegant than the Audi R8 V12 TDI concept. 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.

We've seen a lot of the 2009 Audi R8 V10 since breaking the first pics and providing video of it running last month. But now we get an unblemished look from Autoweek.nl at the new hotness from the four rings in all its re-powered glory. The new R8, with it's 5.2 liter V10, flared-out side-blade, and modified nose is definitely swoon-worthy, as evidenced by these unbelievably clean shots apparently snapped outside of Quattro GmbH in Germany. We can't wait to see the times this thing posts on the Nurburgring.

Another day, another Audi R8 tearing up the Nürburgring, right? Well, look closer, because this is actually a new version of Ingolstadt's supercar. The 'ring-obsessed guys over at Bridge To Gantry say this is the much-anticipated V10-powered model, and though we can't see what's in the engine bay or hear the exhaust note on video, there are some subtle exterior differences between this car and an "average" R8. Actually, this might even be same car we saw not too long ago. Either way, we're expecting the mill to be a 5.2-liter V10 similar to that found in the R8's corporate sister, the Lamborghini Gallardo. So, what are the hard-to-spot exterior tweaks? More »

Adding to our recent video proof of the new R8 V10, plus still shots, we've got even more 5.2L Audi goodness. And just to prove they're serious, Audi's giving the new beast a shakedown on everyone's favorite test track, the Nurburgring Nordschleife. While we don't have lap times yet, rest assured that we're working on arranging a triple shootout with the Zonda F and the Nissan GT-R. Hey, a guy can dream. More »

Those rumors about a 5.2-liter, 500 HP-plus V10 being installed in the Audi R8? Yeah, we can pretty much confirm those today. Check out these crystal-clear driveway photos coming from an anonymous tipster of the new and improved Audi supercar. We're told this is a pre-production mule being loaned out to trusted current R8 owners.

The Audi R8 V10 conflagration from way back in April even made this week's episode of Top Gear. It would appear the little bit of "steam" hasn't stopped the German automaker from trying to take the up-engined R8 back out onto the Nuburgring as these shots taken by the WorldCar-Finns spies this weekend would seem to confirm. According to the Finnish fish-slappers, test drivers no longer have anything to fear from the flames: More »
