Audi R8 Cabrio coming in 2011!
While Audi has recently indicated that the R8 V12 TDI will not see production, there is much better news for the Audi R8 cabrio, with all indications that Audi will definitely be going ahead with a drop-top version of the two-seater supercar. Speculation has it that the cabrio R8 will be available from dealers by 2011! The R8 cabrio version will be equipped with a full-length, lightweight soft-top rather than a retractable metal roof and both V8 and V10 versions of the R8 cabrio will be available. The cabrio will also receive full-length glass hood with an optional lighting kit to allow the driver to illuminate the engine bay at the flick of a switch!
The cabrio is earmarked to make its debut at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, but Audi is not revealing pricing just yet. However, speculation has it that the cabrio will come at a hefty premium over the hard top, with the entry-level V8 R8 cabrio costing as much as $135,000 or £90,000!
