2012 Audi R8 GT
American car enthusiasts will finally get the opportunity to purchase one of the few Audi R8 GT available in the world. Revisions made on the Audi R8 GT base model, the Audi R8 GT’s usage of carbon fiber allows the super car to be 180 pounds lighter than the Audi R8 5.2 Quattro Coupe. Pushing on the speed equation further, engineers also tweaked an additional 35 horsepower out of the 5.2-liter V10 FSI engine. This translates to a performance of 0-62 mph with a time of only 3.6 seconds. Inspired by the new Audi R8 LMS GT3 with a starting price of $196,800, the Audi R8 GT will also include a range of exclusive interior and exterior options to convey the car’s exclusivity.
