Audi is now 'officially' taking orders for the R8 Spyder, with prices starting from £111,955 on-the-road.

The Spyder is only available with the R8's V10 engine option, giving it 517hp to send though its six-speed manual gearbox. 0-62mph is dealt with in 4.1 seconds, just 0.2secs slower than the coupe. Top speed is the same as the coupe at 197mph. The 'R Tronic' semi-automatic gearbox can be spec'd for a further £5200.
