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.

Lamborghini Aventador

To celebrate their new super car, Lamborghini have created this short film hyping up the car for potential customers. The Aventador comes in a bright orange body (as any good Lamborghini should) and 700 raging Italian horses under the bonnet with 4 wheel drive to put that power down. Check out the video for yourself then get down to your local dealer to order one for a measly £201,900 before taxes.

New Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

After many months of speculation and premature leaks, the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3, has finally been officially unveiled. One of the fastest production cars ever run around the Nordschleife (it ran the Nürburgring in 7 minutes and 27 seconds), the vehicle boasts a 4.0-liter flat-six engine derived from the 911 GT3 RSR racer and features forged pistons, titanium connecting rods and a shaft pulled directly from the racetrack model. With 500 horsepower peaking at 8,250 rpm and maximum torque coming in at 5,750 rpm, the GT3 RS 4.0 can run to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and crack 124 mph in less than 12. Limited to only 600 units, the car comes standard with a sporty white paint and six-speed manual gearbox, and will be priced at $185,000 USD when it goes on sale late this year.
