We've been following the developments surrounding the V10-powered R8 for what seems like eons. But today, we received the most definitive proof yet; engine-bay shots and a video of a white prototype shot in Florida. According to members of AudiWorld, a few V10 mules have been handed out to current, and supposedly trustworthy, R8 owners for evaluation, sporting oval exhaust pipes and a revised fascia. While that's a rather unconventional move on Audi's part, it's proof that the automaker is getting ready to launch the new RS8 (or R10) in the near future.

Hit the jump to hear the V10-powered R8 stretching its legs.

I don't know if I trust a vid taken at some guy's driveway. Probably a V8 with an exhaust.

no chance thats the v-10 r8. i'm a tech at a dealer in miami. we were 2nd or 3rd in the country to get an R8. i've heard many r8's from the outside and from inside the car while driving and also heard plenty of the v10's in the s6 and s8's. the two cars sound totally different. in my opinion thats just a regular 4.2 r8. as far as "trusted" customers getting v-10 r8 i highly doubt it. only people i know if having the v10s are the test centers around the country and i don't think there gonna post video's on you tube.

Did either of you not notice the photos of the engine bay clearly showing a V10?

Im also a member of the site rs6.com, and we contacted the guy and he told us that it is infact a V10

[Tiesto]

So whose the mysterious guy in Florida who gets visited by a tester driving a new unreleased supercar and allow him to take pics/video?

Haha... pwned.

[Gzo17]

Sounds like the Gallardo V-10 to me

[Stampy]

Does his guy live in Miramar? The most surprising thing to me is the shitty area surrounding the car. That raised my eyebrows more than anything.
