The long wait is over. After months of heightened anticipation, Audi has finally unveiled this hardy R8 variant - easily hitting high scores when it comes to high performance sports cars. Audi has proven once again that an erstwhile great car can become even greater, and it has shown with the limited edition of this high end sports coupe that the standards of superiority and high performance can be redefined in a flash. With the Audi R8 GT, the company has spun an exciting speedster into a true masterpiece - high on speed and low on weight. This R8 GT power machine is lighter and faster, packing a power punch that is now on the 560 hp range (412 kW). As if this was not enough, this amazing speedster has shed off some 100 kilograms (220 pounds) making it a truly super-fast lightweight high performance sports car.
This track-focused R8 variant is the faster and lighter version of the standard Audi V10, albeit in limited edition, with only 333 supercar units expected to drive off the company's assembly line. The R8 GT hits 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a dizzying 200 km/h is just under 11 seconds. This limited edition Audi R8 GT is the company's affirmation of its adherence to optimum strength and rigidity through lightweight design and construction philosophy.

Audi engineers are delivering a strong statement that they are upping the ante and leaving nothing to chance. In fact, going by the extent and level of the "de-revision," one can't help but suspect that the Company is going on the edge of overkill this time around. This limited edition sports car masterpiece goes through a dizzying transformation with its focused and in-detail modifications. Going beyond the modified rear wing component, one cannot miss its brake calipers.
There is a long list of enhancements that sets this high-end supercar apart and way ahead of its older siblings and close rivals in its category. This is by no means an upstart that blows over with inconsequential performance attributes. At the back end, one can easily be drawn to the prominence of its softball-size, round exhaust pipes that is snugly positioned just below a matte-finished valance.
Even the superior taillight settings were not spared from this major upgrade work-up. The primary component of the Audi R8 GT limited edition boasts of a classy look with its clear lenses and raw dark finish. There are also interesting developments along the sides. The GT tags are paired with matte-finished carbon mirror caps and side blades. Of course, it makes a total coverage of its tag as a car extraordinaire with its intricate but hardy forged wheels holding its modern braking assembly made from a composite material of carbon and ceramic.
To top it all, the R8 super sports car delivers the coup de grace with the striking and exhilarating front end look. The unique combination of front grille in matte-black finish and the curvy winglets made out of carbon fiber alongside regular LED headlights make this one a total show-stopper. This limited edition speedster comes in choice color options giving you the right pick that will make a good extension of your personality and character. Your color choices include Phantom Black, Ice Silver, Suzuka Gray and Samoa Orange.
While we are getting the treat that will surely last us a lifetime, the exterior features are not even half the story. Sliding inside the raw black and gray inspired cockpit, one can easily feel hot juices flowing through their veins. The power of this road masterpiece is simply overwhelming. Its dashing and luxurious character can be easily gleaned from the Alcantara theme of its pillars, headliner, steering wheel and parking brake stick.
Audi R8 intricate interior design concept is perfectly balanced by the infusion of sharkskin elements along its door panels, instrument dash and cowl.
For those who dare to draw the speed juices from this road powerhouse, Audi provides an option that will charge up the supercar's configuration with a race package that features, among others, a bolt-in type of roll bar or race-standard 4-point seat belts for added safety, a standard fire extinguisher, and a precise battery kill switch. Serious racers also have the option of upgrading their standard bolt-in bar to the more elaborate full-roll type of cage.
