Mercedes Readying Audi R8-Fighter?










Mercedes-Benz appears to be readying a ride to contest Audi’s forthcoming R8 supercar for mid-engined supremacy. Auto Motor und Sport has revealed this Schulte-Nextline rendering of the car which they indicate is due around 2010.

Said to be powered by a variant of AMG’s 6.2-liter V8, this car is not to be confused with the higher-end P8, which was originally slated to come in at around $200,000. That car has reportedly been put on ice, presumably in favor of this less-expensive, larger volume model.
