2013 The New Audi R8 V10 Spyder Reviews

Should you opt for the manual transmission, those numbers become 4.1 seconds and 194.49 mph.
The R8 V10 Spyder’s new 7-speed S tronic engine, in particular, spaces the gears closely in a sporty mode with the final drive position has a wide gear ratio. The dual clutch transmission can be shifted at the selector lever or at the steering wheel paddles while a sports mode is also available.
The Audi R8 V10 Spyder comes with a host of new details. In the front, Audi is touting a new single-frame grille that has its beveled upper corners painted in high-gloss black. Likewise, horizontal chrome inserts on the struts are part of the package for the V10 models. Another new component for the V10 Spyder is the bumper, which now has air liners that come with three crossbars each. There’s also a new carbon fiber front splitter that comes as an option for all the models, except for the new R8 V10 Plus.
LED headlights are now standard on all the R8 models, including the V10 Spyder. Meanwhile, the side blades on the V10 models now extend a little further outward compared to its V8 siblings, with added special edging. Audi offers the R8 in two solid colors - Ibis White and Brilliant Red -, in four metallic shades, and with five pearl effect / crystal effect coatings. For the R8 V10 Plus, a matte effect color is available as an exclusive feature. The side blades on the Coupe come in eight colors, while the soft top of the R8 Spyder comes in black, red, or brown. In addition, the R8 V10 Spyder also gets an exclusive matte effect finish with the side blades being finished in one of three colors: red, brown, or black.
For the interior, dominant feature inside the R8 V10 is the monoposto – the long arc curve running around the cockpit in the area of the driver. The R8 badge is prominently displayed throughout the interior, particularly on the multi-function sports steering wheel, the gearshift, or selector level, at the door sill trims, in the instrument cluster, and on the start screen of the on-board monitor.
The R8 V10 Spyder’s center console, handbrake lever, and the molding around the navigation system plus have all been covered in leather and adorned by delicate seams. It also has some pretty fancy technological digs, including the navigation system plus and the Bang & Olufsen Sound System as standard on-board features.
