2011 Audi R8 Spyder

The Audi R8 may still be one of the hottest entries in the sports-car world, but the hype has died down a bit. With its dramatic mid-engine proportions, it is still a stunning sight on the road, but waiting lists have shrunk in many places—in its native Germany, an R8 can now be had in just two to three months' time.

oduce 398 lb-ft of torque, a much-needed boost in a competitive environment where—crazy as it sounds—the V-8's 420 horses and 317 lb-ft don't quite cut the beef.

Audi says both engines will be sold alongside each other, but we wouldn't be surprised to see the V-8 go away at a later point. On the road, they can be distinguished by the V-8’s small, quadruple tailpipes versus the wider double pipes of the V-10. They can also be easily recognized by their sound: the gloves are off with the V-10, and it will make you notice.
