For the first time, Audi is to develop a racing sports car specifically for customer use. The GT3 version of the R8, with at least 500bhp, will be available from autumn next year.
'The R8 is the first production Audi bearing the name and genes of a successful racing sportscar and is therefore an excellent base from which to build up our first big customer sport programme,' said Head of Audi Motorsport, Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. 'Ever since the R8 was unveiled, we've been inundated with enquiries about a race version. With the Audi R8 we will offer customers a racing sportscar equipped with high-calibre technology and the typical Audi qualities, but which is nevertheless easy to handle.' Details
