Audi Drops the Top on Extreme R8 GT Spyder with 560HP V10


    Audi continues to expand its vehicle range filling every possible niche in the market.

The new R8 GT Spyder follows the same recipe featuring a more powerful V10 engine and a lighter body.

    Power comes from an updated version of the standard car’s 5.2-liter V10 engine with a modified ECU that helps lift output from 525HP and 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) to 560HP and 540 Nm (398.28 lb-ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm.
