ABT R8 GT R: less weight, more power

While everyone is pretty familiar with the beauty of the Audi R8 these days, it’s nothing until you see the ABT R8 GTR. This “sculpture” was almost totally reworked. The use of carbon fiber is just enormous. Their mission was trim down the weight, and with this much carbon fiber, they were actually able to take 220 pounds of the car’s weight.

They have also given it more power. The 5.2-liter V10 is now rated at 620 horsepower, which can do a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph. Other performance upgrades include an adjustable sport suspension, ceramic brake system, lightweight 18-inch wheels and Michelin Sport Cup tires.

If you’ve fallen in love with this supercar, like I have, then you better hurry, since there will only be 25 of these masterpieces available.
