Audi R8 GT Price Car Autos Model







Audi R8 GT Price Car Autos Model
The R8 has since grown to include two different engine specs, a convertible version and the hard-core R8 GT. But as if all that weren't enough, it led to the crême-de-la-crême R8 GT Spyder. The limited-edition roadster packs the 5.2-liter V10 engine tuned up to 560 horsepower and unburdened of 187 pounds of excess weight, all without a roof to get between driver and the wind rushing rapidly by.

The hard-core, tire-burning attitude, however, is not all the R8 GT Spyder got from its Italian cousins. It also picked up a Lamborghini's price tag, as Audi USA has just announced the sticker on the exclusive roadster: $210,000. That doesn't include the $1,200 destination charge, taxes or optional equipment like carbon-ceramic brakes or Bang & Olufsen sound system.

That may seem mighty steep, but if you've got the cash to burn, don't hesitate for too long, because with only 333 units to be built in total and just 50 earmarked for the United States, they're bound to go fast. Like, Lamborghini fast. Follow the jump for the full press release, and seeing as how Audi has released a whole mess of new photos since the car's initial launch, we've put those together for you in a fresh high-res image gallery.

Competitors: Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera. Powertrain: 5.2-liter V10, 560 hp, 398 lb-ft; six-speed automated manual transmission, AWD Read more: 2012 Audi R8 GT Test Drive - Audi R8 GT Supercar Review - Popular Mechanics.Tech Tidbit: The GT features a deeper front air dam and larger rear diffuser that dramatically increase the downforce on the car at speed—by a factor of six in the rear.

Driving Character: It takes only a half-lap around the track to notice differences between this car and a production R8. The firmer suspension and stickier 19-inch tires provide noticeably more direct steering. There is no body roll either—this feels like a very refined race machine. Flick the paddle shifter for a lower gear, dig deep into the power, and the R8 GT snaps to attention quicker than the standard 525-hp car. The throttle feels sharper and the car itself is perhaps more balanced too. It's so light and quick through the sharp corners; you forget that this is actually a fairly big car. The V10 howls a bit deeper in this model, but you won't mistake it for the angry growl of the Lamborghini Gallardo. The Audi is more subdued and civilized, a gentleman's supercar. Nevertheless, the muscle is real: The harder we push the GT into the long sweeping turns, the more we realize this car's capabilities are far higher than our own. Thank goodness for those carbon ceramic brakes.

We did not have a chance to sample the GT on the street, but the suspension does not feel as though it would be overly firm. We suspect it wouldn't be an abusive ride in the city—unlike some in this class. Read more: 2012 Audi R8 GT Test Drive - Audi R8 GT Supercar Review - Popular Mechanics
