An open-top high-performance sports car is the latest addition to Audi's regional line-up and will be available in showrooms across the Middle East and Levant this month.

The Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro combines breathtaking performance with the experience of open-top driving and the 525 horse power (hp) V10 engine accelerates the Spyder to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 313 km/h.

The 5.2-litre engine produces 530 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm and 525 hp at 8,000 rpm. The engine offers amazing thrust and hangs tenaciously on the throttle in every situation, accompanied by an unmistakable 10-cylinder Audi sound.

The high-performance sports car features a lightweight frame, quattro permanent all-wheel drive, LED headlights and the new seatbelt microphone to aid bluetooth phone calls.

Audi also offers a classic manual and an R tronic sequential six-speed transmission as an option.

The Audi R8 Spyder V10 is available in the Middle East as of now, starting from $148,229, around BD56,000.
