The 2017 Audi R8 V10 Spyder is something of beauty without being overly opulent. The classic German engineering has yielded some amazing vehicles and the R8 is right up there with the best of them. Unfortunately, few with ever be able to drive one due to the $175,100 starting price tag of the 2017 Audi R8 V10 Spyder. However, the next best thing would be to enjoy a POV drive of the sporty V-10.

In the video below, we are graced with a first-person view of driving the 2017 Audi R8 V10 Spyder during Top Marques in Monaco. The wonderful sound of the blaring V-10 can be heard echoing through the hills and the wind can be heard whistling by the camera as the car rockets to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.

Powered by a naturally aspirated 540 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque 5.2-liter V-10, the 2017 Audi R8 V10 Spyder is truly a track monster. It is unclear whether or not ADP Performance has chipped the car but decaling on the doors indicate that may be possible.

Overall, the video is a blast to watch, but The Drive disagrees with some of the driver's lane decisions as he cuts corners.
