Apparently the biggest upgrade will be on the engine side, which is now a V10 that sports 520-bhp inspired from Audi’s RS4 V8 engine. Evo Magazine got an interview with Audi and found out more about it. With all these fires and crashes of Audi’s super car, the R8, it’s curious to know how interested would be those rich guys to buy the new one, which will be much more powerful. Its engine is designed to rev high - up to 8,250 rpm, Audi says - and offers a zero-to-sixty time of 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 185 miles per hour.

It's a "halo car," a product that's more about bolstering brand image than making big profits. The R8 is an all-wheel-drive car powered by a 420-horsepower Audi V-8 mounted behind its two seats. The R8 does borrow some of its engineering, from the Lamborghini Gallardo, however.
