Audi R8 Spyder to hit U.S. Dealerships in 2010


The still under development drop-top variant of the Audi R8 will arrive in U.S. showrooms in about a year's time according to a report from Insideline citing, but not naming, company officials. The report goes on to say that Audi's product planners in the USA managed to convince the firm's execs to go for a full open top version of the R8 instead of a less costly and complicated targa-roof solution.

It is also reported that the R8 Spyder -the name has yet to be confirmed- will be available with both the basic 420HP 4.2-liter engine and the top-of-the-line 5.2-liter V10 with 525HP.

Lamborghini on Estoque Cancelation Rumors: Who Told You We'd Build it in the first Place?

Supercars world and automotive world also had their own look alike Hollywoof gossip and rumors.Same goes to one of the Lamborghini car. ]Here's how it sound-Lamborghini on Estoque Cancelation Rumors: Who Told You We'd Build it in the first Place??

In what could be one of the most interesting and at the same time, most confusing press releases we've read recently, Lamborghini decided to answer back to the folks over at UK magazine Autocar and all those that reproduced the story on the cancelation/delay of the production version of the Estoque concept that was shown at last autumn's Paris Show. We remind you that Autocar's report cited Lamborghini's head of research and development, Maurizio Reggianni as saying that "the Estoque has been put on ice for the time being".



Lamborghini has not taken any decision to produce its Estoque concept car," said the Italian company in the press release. "As stated when the car was shown, Lamborghini believes that if a third model line should ever be added to its product line up, a four door luxury performance saloon could be a logical product strategy. No decision has been made to produce the Estoque."


In other words, what Lamborghini is saying is that how could it be possible that it has cancelled plans to produce the Estoque when it hasn't even taken the decision to build it... Then again, since no decision has been made, there is a strong possibility that Lamborghini could give the green light. Confused? Don't worry, so, are we...
