Audi R8 GT3 spied testing

See the R8 GT3 in the metal driving around the world famous Nurburgring test circuit.

The vehicle will be competing in the racing class GT3GT3 meeting all the requirements of FIA. This means that R8 GT3 ditches now the all-wheel drive sys from the basic R8 for the rear drive setting. The R8 GT3 gets also a 6-speed manual transmission and a V10 engine (500 hp). The huge rear wing plus body set are exclusive for the GT3.

"Ever since the Audi R8 was unveiled we've been inundated with inquiries about a race version. With the Audi R8, we will offer customers a racing car packed with sophisticated technology and characteristic Audi quality, but which is nevertheless easy to handle," says Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich - Head of Audi Motorsport.

@Fongfongmc

Oh, cool story then.

[Fongfongmc]

@GhostRiot no shit dickhead. i wasnt criticising it it was just an observation

[fukwaynecampaign2]

that turbo makes it sound like a fighter jet lifting off.

[Fongfongmc]

quite aware of that thanks

[GhostRiot]

@Fongfongmc Its a GT3 spec race car not a road car... Its not about aesthetics its about performance. I'm pretty sure the engineers at Audi know what their doing.

[rallymaniac92]

are you stupid or something? this is a racecar! the wing generates downforce to stick the car to the road so it can go faster around corners. learn your shit... this is racing

[Imahappylittlewhore]

it´s not about looks

[Imahappylittlewhore]

well wouldn´t be to bad if it was now would it ?

It looks like they riced the shit out of the R8 with that huge as wing. LOL look awesome but the wing kind of kills it. Make the wing smaller and it'd look WAY better.
