Audi R8 GT!

theragingbull · 2nd May 2010, 15:07

Here's the new Audi R8 GT which is a lighter version of the R8 V10.

Audi Engineers have swapped in a thinner glass windshield and polycarbonate rear windows and replaces many aluminum body panels with carbon fiber. By going over every part of the R8, they have carved a total of 220 pounds off the standard R8's curb weight.

The 5.2-liter V10 has been bumped from 525 horsepower to 560, topping its cousin, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The GT is only available with the R-Tronic hydraulically actuated semi-automatic, and when pushed to its limit, the R8 GT is claimed to accelerate to 62 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and on to 124 mph in 10.6 seconds. The terminal velocity has been increased to 198.8 mph.

Only 333 examples of the R8 GT will be built and the price in Germany is €193,000 ($256,000 USD).

Whoa!! She looks absolutely beautiful. I love the wheels. A limited edition it is then.

EDIT: I just noticed, the number on the car is same as the number on my car.

Looks amazing, except the hideous spoiler.

punterccrx8s · 2nd May 2010, 15:50

What an amazing car!Worth every penny!

ishotmydog · 2nd May 2010, 15:54

i used to think the people at Audi cannot make this car any better looking and i m glad they have managed to do it.

love the wheels, love the rear, love the front, love the interiors. what a looker

Looks fantastic, love the colour combo.

vinaydas · 2nd May 2010, 23:16

at the 250 grand, one of the more sensible super cars aint that sensible any more.
would look way better if it had one of those retractable spoilers.

Well the R8 is truly living upto its tagline, "The slowest car that we've ever built!!".

Looks much more masculine than the R8 V10!! The rims are screaming style!!

AyAn! · 3rd May 2010, 10:09

Well,the rims look the same as the ones on the V8 model,albeit a bit smoked.They could have called it the R8 Super Veloce though!

SpinWizard · 3rd May 2010, 11:57

Fantastic looking set of wheels. This is one mean machine. Wonder how it would feel to revv this one to the limit

mobike008 · 3rd May 2010, 13:31

Wow. The R8 has just got more meaner. IMO, the rear with those open air vents give it a lot of character and distinction. I too didnt like the spoiler which is the only downside.

The alloys look teriffic but the design looks like aftermarket. But, i am not complaining.

Would be interesting to see a head to head comparison including a dash with the baby Lambo

avishar · 3rd May 2010, 23:55

The taillamps look amazing,but with the spoiler and all,seems like the original lines of the r8 getting a bit blurred.

theragingbull · 4th May 2010, 23:19

More Audi R8 GT hotness from Germany. The rims are one of the sexiest designs I've seen in a long time!

Audi has finally released full details of the new V10-powered R8 GT Spyder!

Visually, the R8 GT Spyder sets itself apart with a dual-lip front spoiler, carbon fiber winglets on the front bumper, round tailpipes, a larger rear diffuser and dark LED taillights. Power output is identical to the coupe, with the 5.2-liter V10 producing 560 horsepower and 540Nm of torque. Audi claims a 0-100 kph time of just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 320kph. Like the coupe, production will be extremely limited, with just 333 units scheduled for production. That exclusivity will surely carry a hefty price tag, expect it to carry a premium over the coupe's $198,000 MSRP.
