Addressing these “issuesâ€, the lads at Audi’s performance arm quattro GmbH have fashioned an R8 with a tad more attitude. The 2012 V10-powered R8 GT Coupe sheds 80 kg, gains 35 hp (to 560 hp), 8 lb.-ft. (to 398 lb.-ft.), gets carbon ceramic brakes and a more track-focused suspension setup. For the privilege of owning one of these 333 factory specials, you’re paying $228,000, which is $55,000 over the price of the regular R8 5.2 FSI V10.
The only absentees are auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, Homelink, rear-view camera and rain and light sensors. The carbon fibre rear bumper, rear hatch, and side blades save 13 kg. Turf some sound insulation and powered rear spoiler. add a polycarbonate engine-compartment bulkhead, shave(!) the carpeting, fit 19-inch forged alloy wheels and you’re on your way.
