In the beginning of February, you may remember that there was a rumored LEAK of the all-new Audi R8. It was a white car that appeared on a lift with what appears to be a battery tender hooked up.

There was a lot of hullabaloo over the image, with some saying it was not real and others claiming its authenticity. In this instance we just posted and let YOU decide. Why? Well, that's because there's always the possibility that the automaker contacted the original source of the leak and informed them to remove the image or face legal action.

It wouldn't be the first time.

GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: LEAKED! The All-New Audi R8 Gets FULLY EXPOSED Before The BIG Reveal!


Now that the OFFICIAL image of the R8 has leaked out, this leaves me wondering: what the hell is this white car? After comparing BOTH shots, I am still going to believe that this white car is an actual R8 tester that was being put through development. My line of thinking is this:

1) It is a real R8 — take note of the hood shut lines, detail lines, mirrors and front valence, they're the same

2) Those are the U.S.-bound headlights — we will NOT get the laser lights

3) This is most likely a naturally aspirated V8 that will slot in below the 5xx horsepower, detuned V10 variant that will sit under the V10 Plus.

So, what say YOU? See BOTH images and compare for yourself!
