Audi R8 Spyder Spotted With Top On, Yet Naked

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.
