Default Audi R8 V10 (R10) testing?

testing on the Nürburgring. Look at the new larger "side blades" and the S5 similar sideskirts. Lisenceplate frame says "Quattro GmBH"
V10 in a V8 body?

Lol. It could just be an S-Line body kit you can have on your V6 R8.

I know... but Audi's styling has always been functional... I doubt they would do larger intakes on the R8 for no reason..

Are you sure? You can have S-Line bodykit on pretty much anything these days. Including this bottom spec A3 diesel.
