The R8 lineup was treated to some slight restyling for 2013 – new contours to the front bumper and grille as well as redesigned LED headlights and taillights (standard), amongst others.

Buyers can opt for the 4.2-litre V8 FSI, the 5.2-litre V10 or the brand-new 5.2-litre, 550-hp V10, powering the vehicle to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, and reaching a maximum speed of 319 km/h. What’s more, Audi is also offering a new 7-speed, dual clutch transmission, though the 6-speed remains available as well.

If you’re looking to drive your own R8, expect to shell out 113,500 Euros ($140,100) for the 4.2-litre V8 up to 173,500 Euros ($214, 207) for the V10 Plus.
