Now I’m really excited!! Wow! A can be made topless Audi R8. This one has my vote.
Audi R8 Spider: the lowdown
Car Magazine states:
This drawing reveals the R8 targa for the first time, with twin speedster humps incorporating breathing vents for the mid-engined V8 behind the two-seater cockpit. The doors are deeply scalloped, as on the coupe, but this time there’s a shortened, stumpier aluminium-look blade just ahead of the rear wheels. Tone down the cartoony feel of this sketch (just look at the liquorice-wrapped, deeply dished alloys) and this is the final production car.
This picture confirms CAR Magazine’s scoop (October 2006) that the R8 will have removable targa panels, rather than a space-gobbling removable fabric roof or folding hard-top.Audi might be SHOWIN OUT now.
