Audi R8 GT high-performance line is almost complete when the R8 GT enters the market in a month. Only those R8 Spyder GT finds its way into showrooms this fall.
The audi R8 GT is a lighter, more powerful, better handling version of the R8 V10, the person you love. Changes to the software to squeeze 560 hp from the 5.2-liter V10 with direct injection of 8000, while the pair of towers culminates hours £ 398 Nm at 6500 rpm. Some front and rear carbon fiber trim, with aerodynamic improvements such as a rear wing separator, permanent double lip in front, the car stays on the ground. The right to upshift, left for the low - power is through the six-speed paddle shift transmission with a clutch single R-Tronic head. The power is still patented four wheels through Audi quattro.
Audi does not want the fundamental nature of the R8 better when they give up the GT is still a nice cruiser GT, despite its considerable improvements in performance. A new racing game suspension adjustable threaded at every turn, lowering the car 0.4 inches. Low profile, front and 295/30 R02 Pirelli P Zero Corsa rubber Ganzjahres-235/35, before the patch was good, but consumes slightly visible just outside the outer edge after a day of lapping Infineon Raceway excited.
We had the entire transmission in Sport mode, to accelerate the changes, but it is based on the traction control. The 5.2-liter V10 has huge reserves of torque, which allows you to remain in fourth on the carousel, for example, provided with a lot of determination in all four wheels to power and begin to spin Hill in September, we have discovered that the car would bog you expect a little 'when we have the accelerator, or more suddenly than they should be in the corners. But it left the line and the cruise control was never intrusive.
It is a GT car is a bit 'more than a sports car, but I felt more sporty in the way, say the R8 Series, the Lamborghini Gallardo cousin. Built with the launch control on the home stretch, we got 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds. The carbon-ceramic brakes, which has never been a stain in spite of being on the track all day, the car from 60 mph to standstill in 108 feet, ideal for a car that weighs 3538 pounds proposed beaten.
What do you do when you $ 196 800, the price, without a goal before all options, such as $ 6,000 for painting with a matte finish having. One could almost imagine this as a track day toy that you could easily roll on and off the track. Even if we never left the flat bottom of Infineon, we asked, he would feel most comfortable with Audi paved areas. How about a Battle Royal in track days, Porsche GT3 RS, a Lexus LFA, a Nissan GT-R and a Ferrari 458 Italy? It seems a series of races that we pay to see.
