Product Overview

Audi R8 (Type 4S) Spyder is a mid-size convertible sports car in production from 2016 to 2018. It was available with a range of V10 engines that displaced 5.2 liters.
Unfortunately, the much-loved manual transmission disappeared as an option. The 4S R8 can only be purchased with a 7-speed DCT.
In other aspects, the R8 has a slightly busier exterior. Still, Audi managed to increase the engine output significantly, leading to much more convincing performance.
