Audi has put the wraps off to a more powerful, lighter yet faster limited edition version of mid mounted super car, R8 GT. Only 333 units of the car will be up for the grab at the price tag of US$ 256,500.
The output of the Audi R8 GT’s 10 cylinder engine has been increased from 386kW to 412kW along with the torque figures increasing from 530Nm to 540Nm. As R8 GT retains Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, power is shifted to all the wheels through Audi’s quick-shifting six-speed R-Tronic twin-clutch gearbox.
While keeping in mind the potential competitors like Porsche’s 911 GT3, engineers have toiled successfully to reduce the weight approximately 100kg to the standard R8 5.2 FSI. With its power enhanced and weight reduced, Audi R8 GT can sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds.
Other distinctive features of the R8 GT include all-LED headlights, new front grille, lower air splitter, and the attractive side-blades and side mirrors made of matte carbon and are attached to the car with a shiny aluminum base.
Also, there is a manually adjustable coilover suspension, a specially tuned ESP stabilization program, carbon fiber ceramic brakes, GT includes 19-inch forged alloys wrapped in 235/35 tires up front and 295/30 at the back and is offered in a choice of four body colors - Samoa Orange metallic, Suzuka Gray metallic, Ice Silver metallic and Phantom Black pearl effect.
