The new Audi R8 Spyder V10 plus.
Finally, a new R8 Spyder plus comes with an additional 69bhp, pushing the total to 602bhp.
The glass partition behind the driver can be lowered to allow the engines chorus pour into the cabin.
The Audi has a vocal range, which out performs that of the McLaren 570s.
The roof can be lowered in just 20 – just enough time to miss the entire British summer.
Sadly, the Audi is not without issues. The steering lacks feedback, which goes a long way to detracting from the bags of grip available.
Despite having more power, the Plus is 25kg lighter than the standard Spyder.
The German marque has used a cocktail of aluminium and carbon-fibre reinforced plastic in the chassis.
The quattro four-wheel-drive in awesome in the dry and works in the background to ensure you don't careering into the nearest hedge.
The headline figures are: 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds and a 204 mph flat out.
