One of our readers sent in this "top secret" clip of Audi's upcoming R8 being tested at the Nurburgring track in Germany. This supercar sports a 450hp V10 engine from the Lamborghini Gallardo. Video after the jump.
Wicked!
Actually, about the engine is the other way around: It's the lamborghini gallardo that has the v10 engine from VW, also used by audis - S6 or S8.
