SPIED: The R8 Puts On Its SERIOUS Face

Autocar reports:

These are the first spy pictures of Audi's hardcore, road-going GT3 version of its R8 V10 supercar.

The Audi R8 V10 GT3 road car, spied in testing in and around the Nurburgring circuit in Germany, has been created by the firm in response to the overwhelming demand it has experienced for its V10-powered, rear-drive Audi R8 GT3 race car won last year’s FIA European GT Championship.

That car was victorious in its debut and Audi now wants a road-going version to give it a rival to the Porsche 911 GT3. It is set to deliver an extra 30 cars on top of the more than two dozen it made last year. And these pictures confirm the firm is considering putting it into series production...

Not much difference on the outside at this point, just like most test mules. I hope the R8 GT3 will stand out from the group like how the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is from the rest of the 911 line up. Audi's R8 and the alpha 911's are truly in the 'super car' game now despite their other offerings. Both have racing heritage so it's only going to get better.

I think a livelier engine and a livelier exhaust sound would be a great way to distinguish the GT3.
