It seems that Audi has grown tired of the leaks and what not and has decided to officially unveil the R8 Spyder ahead of its planned Frankfurt Motor Show debut.

Other than it’s beautiful drop top design, as you can see above, this thing is a beast. The R8 Spyder will feature a 5.2 liter V10 engine capable of     525 horsepower and 390 pounds-per-feet of torque. Unfortunately, the above shot and specs are the only thing we have to go by for now so we’ll have to wait until the Frankfurt Motor Show to hear more.

In a move that aims to properly get rid of dilapidated or old cars, the German government has reportedly offered to pay $3,250 for people who junk their old cars. The said rebate would be a big help to direct them towards new environmental friendly vehicles, a move that is connected with the $67 billion government plan of Germany.

It’s getting car shoppers’ attention. Abdul Kamand of Frankfurt said the deal looked good as he admired new Volkswagens this week at a Frankfurt dealership.

“I’ve got a Golf with more than 10 years on its back; the car’s old,” Kamand said. “Through this I can make a profit. They’re giving me more than I’d be able to get for the car if I tried to sell it.”
