CARS.COM — You thought you loved the latest version of Audi’s supercar, the R8 — then along came a Spyder. The 2017 R8 Spyder, bowing now at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, is for anyone who felt cooped up in the coupe and longed to drop the top before dropping the hammer.
The Spyder lures you into its web with the same stunning, ultrasleek styling as the regular version — sans a barrier between your hair and the rush of wind when the cloth top is down. It’s so effectively done that Cars.com reviewer Bill Jackson declared it “never should be ordered with a roof.” Inside is a racing-inspired interior with driver-oriented controls and a digital virtual cockpit.
