As a result, it sprints to 100 km\/h in a brisk 3.2 seconds, 200 km\/h in 9.9 seconds as well as a 330 km\/h top speed. Due to the additional weight the Spyder will carry however, those acceleration times will increase slightly with a minor reduction in top speed also likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it remains unclear when the latest generation Audi R8 will receive its Spyder variation, it will inevitably arrive in the coming years and should feature a rather stereotypical convertible design.
