    Wow, didnt even realize that. Good lookin! The front looks a little bit less agressive with only 2 'slates' but the back looks nicer with less. :asian:

    I agree. Rear looks better but not sure about the front. But I'm sure its because of the camo over the silver paintjob. Let's see it uncovered first eh ?

    Besides the noticable differences in the pictures. Do you think there will be any other exterior changes to differentiate the current R8 from the 'super' r8?

    Maybe these pictures only show some of the changes and do not display the finalized car.

    Well, I actually noticed quite a lot of changes!
















    However, to answer your question, I think:

    - maybe the wheels will also be changed.
    - I think the mirrors could also be RS style with an aluminium finish.
    - seats might make it to production.
    - perhaps some exclusive paints only for the new "R10"

    I notice that most of the above changes are quite subtle and dont change the overall design too much. I do think it will make a difference though...

    I like having less slats below the lights front and back. Would prefer if it didn't have any at all thought!

    Rear looks nice. I have not made up my mind on whether I like the quad or dual exhausts better.

    Funny you mention it. The ONLY thing I'm not sure about on the R8 is the quads. They look slightly odd for some reason. I think it's because of the oval surround. I really like the new exhausts on the R10 !

    There is some design clues as to what this new R8 might be called, firstly the number of slats at the nose two, the same as on the RS6 and secondly the number of exhaust pipes, again two the same as RS models. I reckon based on this flimsy bit of points that the new R8 will be called the R8/RS.

    I wouldn't like to bet against it happening.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    Wondered how long it'd take till Leadie showed up in this thread. Its odd, i havent seen these images reported anywhere else.
    I still would really like to see a diesel engine in the R8. Then that would be a real R10 !
    I might consider buying a diesel R8 actually. As for some reason that'd be alot more practical in my mind
    And so reminisant of Audis LeMans dominance.

    Me too. I think the body revisions are great! It's funny that you cant see how the R8's bodywork can be improved, but somehow Audi managed to make it look even better. I like...

    Yes less bars in the airvents and most of all the oval exhaust tips.

    It's a shame the same can't be said about the TT/S.

    I've never been 100% about the quads because they have an oval surround. The new oval tips look a million times better!
