2011 Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI Quattro Spyder

The topless version of the stupendously awesome Audi R8 supercar is finally official public knowledge. The reveal of the Spyder, which also will serve as Iron Man’s next ride, shows that the R8 looks just as amazing with its domed roof removed.

The R8 Spyder is being debuted only in 5.2 FSI form (Iron Man would accept nothing less, we hear), which means that a 525-hp V-10 with 391 lb-ft of torque rests under the sexy rear bodywork. In this case, front/rear weight distribution is split 43/57 percent, and Audi expects that the R8 5.2 FSI Spyder will be able to hit 62 mph in 4.1 seconds and 134 mph in 12.7 on its way to a top speed of 194 mph. Transmission choices remain a cool, six-speed gated manual and a six-speed R tronic automated manual.
