Audi R8 LMS – GT3 Racing Spec

Audi has released a video of its new R8 LMS, which was unveiled at the Essen Motor Show recently. The car is effectively a GT3 racing spec R8 and will cost around £206,000 – which is more than twice the price of a road-going version. 

But the modifications are not restricted to a few suspension bits and some extra carbon fibre… Customers will get a completely track-ready car now with ten cylinders and over 500 BHP.

The regulations state that the car can no longer be four-wheel drive, with the power is now being channelled through just the rear tyres.

A new six-speed sequential manual gearbox has also been developed and the car is now fitted with a huge rear wing and aerodynamic bodykit.
