Audi R8: US spec version spotted at Lime Park

A US spec Audi R8 has been spotted at the Lime Park racetrack during the ALMS race.

The New Jersey car may have had the base 18-inch European wheel that we won't be getting here (the 19-inch wheels on the other cars in the gallery are standard here). However, the silver Jersey-based car was sporting the visible changes for American spec, including side reflectors on the front and rear bumpers, provisions for a US-spec license plate and the deletion of the rear foglight light housing in the lower rear valance. There's instead a matching black cap, and we're guessing many American R8 owners will be retrofitting the Euro piece.
