More Power and New DSG Gearbox for the 2012 Audi R8
More details regarding the upcoming facelift of the Audi R8 has been unveiled. The Audi R8 entered the market in September 2006 and will receive a small revision to make Audi’s supercar more up to date before it is due to be replaced with a brand new model in 2014.
According to German magazine Auto, Motor und Sport, the 2012 Audi R8 will see an upgrade in performance. The output of the V8 will increase from 424hp to 450hp. The V10 will be upgraded from the original 518hp to 560hp, which is almost similar to the R8 GT.

Not a chance in hell will Audi be giving a 2012 model year R8 this much power increase and new gear box! This would be a HUGE slap in the face to all the R8 GT owners that spent at least 50k more to virtually come up with nothing more in return.

it's the same as lambo upgrading the Gallardo to the LP560, which had more power than the OG SL that lots of people payed a premium for.
