With an open roof and quick speed, the Audi R8 Spyder may be one of the more impressive cars to come out of the New York Auto Show so far.

The supercar seems to be a pretty no-nonsense vehicle compared to others coming out of the Auto Show. It doesn't come with the same amount of high-tech perks we've seen in other cars, like the Lincoln Navigator, but it sure can move. And that's really what you want out of a supercar, anyway.

The car can reach a top speed of 197 miles per hour and accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds, Autoblog reported. Its body is partially made out of carbon fiber, making it a lightweight ride.

Its roof can open in just 20 seconds when driving at speeds of 31 miles per hour or less.

The interior is meant to pay homage to the shape of a racecar cockpit, Audi explained in their press release. The car also comes with a "virtual cockpit," meaning you can see the road ahead of your or your navigation instructions on the instrument panel.
