Official photos or teasers at our disposal yet, but there is a spy pictures taken last summer at the Nürburgring (bottom), as well as the designer's fantasy Marco van Overbeck (above). How the artist managed to get to the point with their assumption will learn very soon, but for now we would like to remind that the updated number of sites receives R8 chassis and engine from the Lamborghini Huracan. 5.2-litre V10 will be a senior engine option; In addition, there is a and 4.2-liter V8.
