There's no arguing Audi's R8 supercar is a thing of both beauty and ability. In V-10 form it's even sharper. Then there's the stellar R8 GT. But is it better than Shark Week?

The images, snagged by a reader at GT Spirit, show what is clearly a Huayra, said to have been captured on the streets of Denver, Colorado. We're not sure about the Huayra's AMG-owned status or its role as a test mule, but it makes as much sense as anything else...short of a mega-wealthy buyer finding some loopholes to get the car here early or Pagani itself...
