Audi R8 GT Spyder


Remember a while ago when Audi released a GranTurismo version of the R8? Well, they recently gave the automotive world some specs on their Spyder version of the GT, which is limited to just 333 units and carries a base price of 207,800 Euro in Germany.

A more powerful 5.2 liter V10 FSI engine with an output of 560hp and 540Nm of torque, has been added to the car, while it's top speed is 317km/h and 100km/h is reached in 3.8 seconds.

Thanks to carbon fiber-reinforced polymer and glass fiber-reinforced polymer, the GT Spyder is 85kg lighter than the standard R8 Spyder, for a total weight 1,640kg. The lightweight fabric soft top goes up or down in 19 seconds and can be operated at speeds up to 50km/h.
