After much rumor in the super car world, the Audi R8 GT's specs were released yesterday. The leaner more muscular version of the R8 will be 220 pounds lighter which puts it at 3,362 lbs. The V10 5.2L engine will put down 560 horsepower, that's 42 horseys over the previous R8 model. According to mibz, who made the GT's specs public after being released by Audi, the GT's power plant will launch the supercar to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and up to 124 mph in just 10.8 seconds.
The R8 GT will be equipped with a launch control system, six-piston brake calipers for the front and the engine will be mated to the R8's R-tronic sequential manual transmission. It can be customized with special materials for the interior, GT logos and even a roll cage.
Does the Audi R8 GT get your blood flowing or does the $250,000 price tag make you shiver? Is the $95,000 difference between the R8 and R8 GT worth spending the extra money?

Tho the r8 is one sexy car. Its price tag is a bit high. But as long as ur spendin the money get the extra power and upgrade. This car does 0-60 in 3.7 secs. Nice. Just wanted to point something out tho. The tesla roadster is lighter and does 0-60 in 3.7 secs has ecofriendly fully electric so never pay for gas and is half the price tag. Still. An r8 is an r8. Revvvv it up!!!
audi r8! my dream car <3
