Audi R8 GT sold out

By
Five coupes are gone, and there are five convertibles on order
The fastest and most expensive Audi ever sold in the Australia – the Lamborghini-powered R8 GT – is a sell-out success.

All five of the V10 super-coupes are sold in Australia, and Audi has ordered five R8 GT convertibles on the back of their popularity.

The $470,700 R8 GT is powered by a high output version of the 5.2-litre V10 found in the Lamborghini Gallardo, with 412kW and 540Nm.

The R8 GT sprints from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

“All five cars are accounted for and allocated to dealers and customers,” said Audi Australia boss Uwe Hagan. “So we have ordered five convertibles also. These are spoken for among the dealers and some have customers against them, there are maybe one or two left.” 

The R8 GT is the lightweight, road-going version of the R8 LMS car developed for 24 hour circuit racing.

It tips the scales art 1525kg, at least 100kg less than the regular R8 model. Customers can make the car lighter still by opting for carbon-fibre racing seats.

For customers who want to take things a little more seriously, Audi can fit a factory-endorsed roll cage and racing equipment, but in this instance the vehicle cannot be registered for road use.

Only 333 R8 GTs coupes will be made worldwide, along with another 333 R8 GT convertibles.
