CARS.COM — Audi redesigned its R8 supercar for 2017, refining its stunning curves with a few minor tweaks for the new model year. The R8 wears a revised face with a gaping chain-link mesh grille, as well as huge new vertical inlet slats under the crisper, more angular headlights.

Underneath the body, the R8 sits on an all-new chassis that’s more than 100 pounds lighter than the outgoing model thanks to an extensive use of aluminum and carbon fiber. Check out the gallery below.
Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
