Volkswagen boss Martin Winterkorn has indicated that a Spider version of the Audi R8 could be here by as soon as 2008, along with a new range of engines.
Suggested optional powerplants include the 5.2L units from Audi’s S6 & S8 models, as well as a super-hot 600 bhp bi-turbo V10 model. Our money’s on the R8 receiving a version of the company’s mighty V12 TDI engine.
