2017 Audi R8 Spyder Spy Shots - Motor Authority

These are our latest spy shots of the second-generation R8 Spyder from Audi. The coupe made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show back in March and we suspect the convertible will debut at the Swiss show in 2016. A debut at this month’s Frankfurt Auto Show is also a possibility. It was at the German show that the original R8 Spyder was first shown back in 2009. From the spy shots we can see that the new R8 Spyder sticks with a conventional folding soft-top roof. Other than the new roof and possibly some additional strengthening of the body—the outgoing R8 Spyder was around 200 pounds heavier than the coupe because of structural reinforcements—the new R8 Spyder should be much the same as its coupe sibling.
