2010 Audi R8 Abt GT R

Sure, the R8 is no lame duck and now even more so thanks to ABT Sportsline. The result is just like a real athlete: it oozes power and doesn’t have a single gram of fat on its body. With the limited version R8 GT R (with only 25 units available) engineers and designers have gone one logical step further: Using their motorsport experience in the design, all the components have been systematically trimmed to ensure a light-weight construction and optimal weight distribution. As a result the hood, front and rear aprons, and the adjustable rear wing are now made of carbon. The external mirrors and the door panel are also made of the same material. The side windows are made of Makrolon—a high-tech polycarbonate that not only reduces weight, but also has impressive strength properties. The result: the ABT R8 GT R is a proud 220 lbs. lighter than its stock counterpart.

Recaro racing seats, a 4-point seat belt system, stainless steel roll-over bar with seat belt attachment, and hand-held fire extinguisher are just some of the race-ready equipment available.





The sports car has enormous performance potential: the 5.2 FSI in the ABT R8 GT R provides a massive 620 hp and a extremely quick top speed of 202 mph. The car can do zero-to-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds can reach 124-mph mark in a mere 9.9 seconds.

In order to ensure that the power can be optimally applied on the road and on the race track, height-adjustable ABT sports suspension and adjustable dampers are standard. The ceramic brake system with modified brake pads has been adjusted to meet the enormous performance potential of the super sports car. Extremely light ABT CR alloys wheels round out the package. The ABT R8 GT R is a unique vehicle which provides maximum driving enjoyment. It has been designed for driving at the limit: from the weight-optimized exhaust unit to the ABT Titanium special coating—ABT’s love of motorsport can be seen in every detail.
