The Independent have published a review of the Audi R8 V10 Spyder.. 'A closed R8 has striking, contrasting "blades" on its flanks aft of the doors and forming the rear cabin pillars, which clearly wouldn't work on a Spyder. Instead, the Spyder has extended side-scoops flowing into where the blade would be, which completely alters the R8 look. Thus the R8 Spyder looks like its own car and not a chopped-down version of another one. It helps, too, that the result has strong overtones of real sports-racing cars, such as - conveniently - the eponymous R8 (or later R10) that raced at Le Mans.'
