New Audi R8 GT Spyder


Audi unveiled the GT version of their popular R8 super car last year as a light weight, supped up take on the already powerful flagship model. For 2011, the German automaker takes this topless with this spyder model and it’s even lighter thanks to carbon panels being used throughout the car for weight savings of 85 KGs.


There’s no shortage of power with a 5.2 V10 engine kicking out 560 HP that will take you from 0-60 MPH in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 196 MPH which will sure get your hair flying. Visually the car still looks stunning but has been fine tuned by Audi engineers with a new front splitter with dual lip, a large diffuser and dark LED tail lights.


If things go from hot to cold you can bring the roof up with the touch of a button in 19 seconds and you can do this all the way up to 31 MPH. The interior is high quality as you’d expect from an Audi with fine leather upholstery, multimedia systems and advanced dials make for a great place to be on a journey. Just 333 examples of the R8 GT Spyder will be made and each is individually numbered on the gear nob. Prices start in Germany from €207,800.
