Adding to our recent video proof of the new R8 V10, plus still shots , we've got even more 5.2L Audi goodness. And just to prove they're serious, Audi's giving the new beast a shakedown on everyone's favorite test track, the Nurburgring Nordschleife. While we don't have lap times yet, rest assured that we're working on arranging a triple shootout with the Zonda F and the Nissan GT-R . Hey, a guy can dream. galleryPost('r8v10nrb', 3, 'Audi R8 V10 testing at Nurburgring');

newVideoPlayer("R8-Vid.flv", 494, 413,""); When we brought you the still images of the Audi R8 V10 , we could only dream of hearing that siren song of 5.2 liter V10 delight. Now we can. The forum fan-boys at AudiWorld discovered this video lurking in the fodder that is MySpace uploaded by someone named Dennis. Either Dennis is a marketing shill and we've been had by viral advertising, or he's got some serious explaining to do. In either case Audi R8 V10! galleryPost('audir8v10', 3, 'Now You Can Hear The 10 Cylinders of Power');

Those rumors about a 5.2-liter, 500 HP-plus V10 being installed in the Audi R8 ? Yeah, we can pretty much confirm those today. Check out these crystal-clear driveway photos coming from an anonymous tipster of the new and improved Audi supercar. We're told this is a pre-production mule being loaned out to trusted current R8 owners. In addition to two more cylinders, expect a revised front bumper, rear bumper, exhaust tips and side blades for the upgraded Ăberfahrzeug. galleryPost('audir8v10', 3, 'Audi R8 Now Playing With 10 Cylinders of Power');

While we've had some fun with the current-gen R8 as powered by the 4.2L FSI V8, we're more than pumped to see that the brits at evo were able to snap some pics of a thinly disguised R8 said to maybe be carrying the new 5.2L V10. They claim that the new V10 will be available in late 2008 and should put out numbers in excess of the M Power V10 currently doing duty in the M5/M6. That means that you're looking at horsepower above 500 hp (they're saying 520 hp) at above 8250 RPM. They're also saying that this V10 is based on the current mill, and not the V10 found in the Gallardo/RS6. Sehr gut, ja? Let's just hope this tester is carrying a fire extinguisher . [ evo ]
