I think the big front intakes are gone and will be more like the E-tron concept. Pretender, any info?

Aesthetical improvements only, or perhaps a bump in power, mpg, interior, performance as well ?

Since its just a facelift model, I assume it would get a bump up to 450bhp (as per RS5) and that's it. I doubt any other changes but you never know! S5 changed mid-cycle to FI.

TT Mk 3 is rumored to have a TFT instrument panel, so one could speculate the the R8 facelift will employ a similar change to the IP. Some sources are suggesting that the R8 moves to the 4.0 l TT V8 engine and the car is to make liberal use of structural carbon fibre to reduce weight by about 80 kgs.

other style headlights and rear-lights ... just the style not the shape
and some other small changes...

s-tronic is also coming

imho this engine will be reserved for the new r8 generation along with other important improvements
