Since its debut, the all-new Audi R8 has been essentially rolling around with a target on its back. Unfortunately for the second-gen R8, the first-gen was SO staggering that it has massive shoes to fill.

We're pretty sure Audi's 5.2-liter V10 good for over 600 horsepower will help convince some apprehensive folks, but perhaps we have something that may also help.

Thanks to a friend of AutoSpies, we've got exclusive images of one of the first second-gen R8s roaming about northern New Jersey. Seems like a weird locale for this to happen, right? Well, no, actually. Let me explain.

Nearby this location, Volkswagen Auto Group (VWAG) has a technical center/training facility where it brings in its all-new products and allows technicians to come in and work on the vehicles. At least that's what I've been told.

In convoy with the R8 was an all-new Audi TT. The R8 is clearly sporting a black paint job with silver-painted blades.

So, what do you make of the second-gen R8 now that we're seeing it on the road? Is it a STUD or a DUD?
