Narrow strip of light
Most it has taken the Audi R8, the front-end design: The headlights are much narrower and more focused look on the street - LED technology makes it possible. This will also involve an adjustment of the air intakes located below the headlights. Glue on the prototype, two dark stripes on tape the top corners of the single-frame grille, but the changes can be observed: Here, the designers sharpened and converted to contour around corners. At the rear are the lights changed and the huge tailpipes oval instead of circular cross-section.

More Power
With the facelift may be associated with a new, more athletic suspension tuning. There is also in terms of performance up a gear. The power of the V8 in the R8 4.2 FSI sucker could increase to 430 hp to 450 hp. The V10 with 525 hp in the R8 5.2 FSI in its performance could easily shoot up from 525 hp to 560 hp - including the limited edition of 333 copies R8 GT already with such a force is on the way.
