NextAutos readers who were excited to read about the TDI Le Mans concept and the upcoming V-10-engined versions of the super bad Audi R8 supercar , will likely be more than pleased to see that our tireless spy photographers have captured very clear images of the R8 Spider.

The biggest change for the new R8 – aside from the lack of a solid roof of course – is the missing side blades that have become such a signature of the top-dog Audi. The convertible roof seems to be roughly the same as the item found on Lamborghini’s Gallardo Spider. Though some might argue that the change leaves the new R8 looking a bit busy around the rear three-quarters view, we think that, by and large, this is one handsome transformation.

The spy report tells us to expect the same powerplants for the Spider as for the standard R8, including the upcoming 5.0-liter V-10 version. Click through the gallery above to see the new Audi for yourself, or scroll down to read the shooter’s own words.

Here are the first real photos of the open air brother to the Audi R8.

The Audi R8 Spider. Engines will be the same as the R8 and also the upcoming R8 V10, meaning that you can have your Spider with both V8 and V10 power.

Roof looks pretty much like on the Gallardo Spider, and without the sideblades that we normally find on the R8 Coupe, the Spider looks even better.

With the top down, the R8 is going to look very neat. I'm sure some people are going to miss the side blades, however -- as am I.

(RP) No doubt Audi had a go at using the side blades in the design – did a quick Photoshop of how it may have looked from the side view with the side blade at http://bit.ly/kWIv9

I agree - it definitely loses something without the contrasting side blade. Perhaps they will offer the car with one all the same (likely one that doesn't include the headrest fairings--assuming that's what those are). That said, judging by the cut-lines on the mule panels, it looks like it would be difficult to integrate.

Audi's designers continue to push the envelope in their design, while other German Auto Makers from BMW and MBZ trail behind in that department. also Audi ha a much better feel from a driver’s view as far as ergonomics, just love the direction Audi is going, not to mention the bold move toward DTI technology in their race cars which translate to the Audi's we drive everyday.
This car will look fantastic when Audi puts out the final product.

buy seal online cegel

When I begin to play this Seal Online game, I first go to buy seal online cegel to buy some my favorite and beautiful clothes to dress up my character. I have spent cheap seal cegel to buy my favorite cloth. I mean we have anime and some necessary seal online cegel based games that do not look really kid dish. Though I will admit with my own seal cegel I went crazy on leveling with DECO. Some of the skills that we can use our sealonline cegel to improve to look amazing, and are fun to just watch honestly.

It does seem to be ‘missing’ something - although having those afterburner-like vents is a pretty cool replacement. No doubt Audi had a go at using the side blades in the design (I hope they did and it failed) – I did a quick Photoshop of how it may have looked from the side view with the side blade at http://bit.ly/kWIv9
