The new Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro may drive like one of the world's most exotic and exquisitely executed sports cars-newV-10 engine, choice of six-speed manual or R-tronic paddle-shift transmissions, body design straight from Pluto-but in many ways the coming U.S. version is very much a work in progress.rnFor instance, will the 40-valve, 5.2-literV-10-sister engine to the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 -produce 525 horsepower or 518? The difference is normally attributable to the conversion from metric to English units, but in the R8's case Audi may juice output to 525 Yank ponies for the U.S.The automaker's marketing and planning execs haven't yet decided.
