Thankfully, Audi will be sticking with naturally aspirated power for its upcoming R8 supercar, a model recently spotted testing around the Nürburgring, leaving a resonant trail of V10 in its wake.
It will also be lighter than before and probably better in every single way, possibly except for the steering that does tend to get worse in modern cars, not necessarily better in terms of feel and involvement factor.
The video posted below, courtesy of TouriClips, is really all about the engine noise, since you’ve already seen the new R8 (and its interior) before via shots from our spies.
However, while we believe the R8 will launch with the same basic non-turbo units as before, there’s nothing stopping Audi from adding one later during the car’s life – it’s actually quite likely given the current state of the market and trends set by other manufacturers.
