Yet disappearing along with the roof <em>could </em>also be your view of the engine. The droptop in the spy photos and in Audi's official sketch features a solid engine cover and two curious structures adorned with gills that run up to the rear window. They could line up with an interior element when the roof is down, but it would have to be mighty cool to be worth missing out on that engine. Audi's 552 horsepower competitor for cars like the Vantage V12 and Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio will bow at this year's Frankfurt Auto Show.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.fastestcar.com/audi-r8-spyder-prototype-spotted-testing-near-nurburgring/">Fastest Car</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/21/spy-shots-audi-r8-spyder/">Spy Shots: Audi R8 Spyder</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:07:00 EST.
