Spy Photo: Audi R8 V10 RWD GT?

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="67743"] A last ”Hurrah” to the R8 or just some performance parts? Audi Sport didn’t show any performance parts for the facelifted R8 yet (only the pre-facelift was available with these parts) but we spotted a prototype in the snow with all the performance parts fitted and that of course raises some questions. We know Audi is planning some more special edition models of the R8 for a 2022 debut (Audi R8 RWD GT?) and this one could be a protot...

Find of the Day: 2009 Audi R8 6sp…RWD

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="64068"] words: Bill, photos: Jay Dub I love the MK1 R8 especially the V8 model. I know the V10 is the lustful one to get but the V8 will always have a spot in my heart especially with that gated manual. But one thing both the V8 and V10 has is quattro. For years and into the 2nd gen, quattro was always standard until the RWS model was revealed in 2017. Some though looked at other RWD supercars and wished their MK1 R8 were the same. Take this 2009...

Audi R8 RWS Starting Price? A Bargain at $139,950

[words: Bill Cho, photos: Audi AG] Motor Trend is reporting that Audi of America announced the starting price for the R8 RWS...a stunning $139, 950 including destination. That's a massive $26,000 less than a 'base' R8 V10 Coupe and humongous $55,000 off a R8 V10 plus. I'm running out of 'big' words to describe the price difference. At such a bargain price, these will probably fly off the dealership floors but if you want one, you'd better hurry. Audi Sport is building 999 examples...
