Up until the final R8 LMX edition, the 560 hp in the GT were the performance end stage of the first R8 generation.
In 3.7 seconds to 100 km/h
Together with the all-wheel drive and a sequential six-speed gearbox (as in the R8 LMS), the driving experience was still exhilarating, even if ultimately more would have been possible.
Cage, bucket seats and four-point belts are included with the race package of the emptied special edition.
What is feasible without heavy four-wheel drive, Audi only tried out as a second consequence with the successor. Our measured 3.7 seconds to 100 was enough to make it with the GT3 RS in terms of longitudinal dynamics. Of course, also because he sacrifices all the comfort of the lap time and doesn’t try to flee forwards pulled by all fours.
Diffuser and a striking wing on the R8 GT, which was outrageously expensive at the time at 193,000 euros. That was Audi’s first attempt in the Clubsport direction.
