The same 5,204cc naturally aspirated V10 is tuned to 449kW at 8,250rpm and 560Nm at 6,500rpm, driving all four wheels through the 7-speed S tronic and quattro.

Standard equipment steps up from the RWD grades with carbon-ceramic brakes, Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping with a CFRP front stabiliser, a Performance drive mode with dedicated dry/wet/snow settings, and manually adjustable R8 bucket seats in place of the RWD's electric sport seats. Transcribed from Audi Australia's own MY21 dealer specification sheet.
Configure the R8 Coupé V10 performance quattroThe Audi R8 Spyder V10 RWD is the rear-wheel-drive, roofless version of Audi's mid-engined supercar for MY21, sharing its naturally aspirated 5,204cc V10 (397kW/7,800rpm, 540Nm/6,500rpm) and 7-speed S tronic with the RWD Coupé. Audi claims 3.8 seconds 0-100km/h and a 322km/h top speed, with 12.2L/100km combined and 284g/km CO2 on the ADR 81/02 cycle. Unladen weight is 1,695kg -- 100kg over the Coupé -- against a 1,995kg gross weight. Because it lacks a fixed roof, the Spyder carries standard active roll-over protection that the Coupé does not, and does not get the Coupé's SIDEGUARD head-level curtain airbag. Otherwise equipment mirrors the Coupé: steel brakes with red callipers, RWD sport suspension, electrically adjustable R8 sport seats and the 13-speaker Bang & Olufsen system.
