Audi adds a roadster version of its R8 supercar for the 2011 model year with the debut of the R8 Spyder, which hits U.S. dealerships in summer 2010. Unlike the R8 coupe, which comes standard with a V-8 engine, the R8 Spyder is only offered with a 5.2-liter V-10 that makes 525 horsepower.

Price Range: $147,500 – $161,000

That's quite a few ponies, and it results in some impressive performance figures. Audi claims the R8 Spyder can rocket from zero to 62 mph in just 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 194 mph.

The curvaceous lines of the R8 coupe haven't been compromised in its transformation to a convertible, and although the vents stretching rearward from the driver and passenger seats are neat design cues, it's a shame you can't see the midengine like you can in the ardtop R8. LED headlights are standard, as are 19-inch wheels.

For times when top-down motoring just won't do, the R8 Spyder has a power-operated soft-top that Audi claims can open or close in a swift 19 seconds. You don't have to be completely stationary for the top to work, either, as it's functional up to about 30 mph.
