Here is what looks like an official teaser shot for the Audi R8. The R8 will feature a reworked version of the RS4's V8 engine. It will come with more than 425 hp courtesy of a different intake and exhaust systems. It will also feature dry sump lubrication. It could have as much as 450 hp. The best thing is that you will be able to see the V8 engine without opening the rear hatch. The R8 will come with magnetic ride suspension. Grip will be provided by 19-inch wheels with the same contact patch as the Lamborghini Gallardo (235 front and 295 rear) The headlights will have LEDs built in for the Daytime Running Lights. It should come in at under 3,200 pounds. As you can see in the teaser shot there will be a panel behind the doors that could be ordered in a different color or in aluminum as in the Le Mans concept. The R8 will make its official debut on September 28 at the Paris Auto Show, but expect to see images of it earlier, as it will be shown to the public at its factory in Neckarsulm a day or two before the show. Mark your calendars.
