The short clip encompasses a red R8 V10 Plus showing off its revised and sexy sheetmetal in conjunction with its sweet-sounding V-10 that puts out 550 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque (the background music is tolerable). The video also points out a couple of key features of the variety- topping R8, like its all-LED headlights, lightweight chassis, and trick sequential rear turn signals.

As Lieberman stated in his review, the R8 V10 Plus replaces the R8 V10 GT, which produced 560 hp (we predict another GT to seem in a couple of year). The updated R8 will still be offered with a V-8 engine (430 hp and 317 lb-ft) and the “normal” V-10, which produces 525 hp and 391 lb-ft. The R8 arrives in showrooms next month, so until then benefit from the video below.
