Audi Celebrates the R8′s Fifth Birthday, Previews Refreshed Model with Video

R8 Teaser

After five years on the market, the Audi R8 still looks pretty good. Every model from the original 4.2-liter V-8 coupe to the 5.2-liter V-10 Spyder has been stunning. And let's not forget the R8 GT.

In light of the car's fifth anniversary, Audi put together a video that celebrates the many R8 derivatives that have popped up over the years and offers a glimpse of the face-lifted model, which will appear in 2012 as a 2013 model. It doesn't look like much has changed, but why mess with a good thing? We're expecting a new front-end treatment that borrows from the RS5 coupe, as well as new lighting elements for the front and rear ends. The updated R8 is expected to ditch the single-clutch R tronic transmission with a new S tronic dual-clutch automatic. It should debut by the Paris auto show in the fall, if not sooner.
