The facelifted 2013 Audi R8 was out on public roads and, naturally, on video. Sheathed in camo again after having been at it totally naked not long before, there is less to visualize, but you can at least see – and, just as importantly, hear – it in action. Make sure to watch the whole thing: the special feature at the end of this video is a brief shot of the once-again naked R8 taking a turn at the Nürburgring.
Stylistic changes are limited to small details like new LEDs, taillamps and exhaust tips. More powerful engines are tipped to be on the menu, with the 4.2-litre V8 climbing to 450 horsepower and the 5.2-litre V10 ascending to a respectable 540 hp.
We'll probably get a close look at it during the 2012 Paris Motor Show; hit the jump to see it from afar in the video.
