Audi R8 Convertible rumour

[Tom]

It seems whenever there is some hot car floating around out there, rumors begin to fly about how the automaker plans to keep that car fresh in everyone's mind. The Audi R8 is no different.

Speculation has been out for quite some time that Audi was considering an R8 convertible. Audi has certainly not confirmed this to anyone. Certainly not helping matters is the belief that Audi will make a pretty strong unveiling at the LA Auto Show in a few days.

In response to the rumors, or possibly fueling them, some new renderings of a proposed R8 Spider have been floating around a few web sites. We stumbled upon these at Autogespot. They have a few more Photoshops on their sites.

One thing is for sure: we will be waiting (im)patiently at the Audi stand on November 14th at 11:10am California time when they begin their presentation to the media.

is this R8 is an Audi supercar?

or just a sportscar?

mind you that, only few selected and mad models are in supercar's league. but an Audi supercar? naaahhh..

it is a supercar...if u consider the gallardo a supercar then this is a supercar...V8 engine plus it's loosely based on the gallardo itself cause lamborghini belongs to audi...think again....it might look more sensible and not shouty like other supercars such as lambos and zondas...but technically speaking it's a supercar minus the shouty looks...german...so it's practicality 1st..

i see your point...but i think a super car is suppose to shout and snout and look absolutely insane. built just for looks and go instead of logic and sense. the audi for me just looks a little understated.
