Audi’s China website has an English-language page dedicated to the R8 China Edition, where they write:

“The unique fixed spoiler in carbon matt makes this supercar fancier. The round tailpipes at both sides fully demonstrate the dynamic style. When the spoiler in carbon matt rips the airflow and everything flashes like a blue shadow, it’s hard for you to tell which side you will stand by, admiration or jealousy.”

Yeah! The R8 China Edition is not the only China-only spacial edition Audi R8. In 2011 Audi launched the R8 V10 Limited Edition, which was limited to only 30 cars.
