    The Audi R8 Facelift

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Spy photographers recently caught a face-lifted Audi R8 roaming the streets in various forms of camouflage.

    The only changes that are (somewhat) obvious are a new set of headlights, the updated more angular front grille, and a new taillights. We expect to see different front and rear bumpers on the production model, ones with slightly sharper edges, and quite possibly a new wheel design.

    Updates to the front and rear lights, making the LED lights and blinkers into more solid bars than before, are most apparent in the first and last photos below. Those witty Audi engineers and designers did a good job taping up the lights to mask the changes from prying eyes and camera lenses, but true Audi nuts like us can spot the difference.

    That's the rear bumper/tips from the GT, which is why we don't think it's the final production rear end for the standard V8 and V10.

    Hate the belt (stripe) in the middle of the side profile, match that to the paint and it IS the most beautiful car I've seen

    Gotta agree... I much prefer them closer to the center in my opinion.

    It kind of reminds me of the Quattro concept. Man the Quattro would be awesome if it went into production.
