What Changed
Audi's halo sports car, the R8, is now available in a convertible form. This all-wheel-drive mid-engine sports car is powered by a 5.2l V10 engine rated at 525-bhp. Buyers can choose from either the traditional six-speed manual or the six-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shifters. Compared to the coupe, the R8 is almost identical in size, but gains about 100 lbs of curb weight.
