The windshield of the Audi R8 GT is made of thinner glass; the They took an elaborate approach involving every aspect of the vehicle, and in the end the scales came to rest at 1,525 kilograms (3,362.05 lb). This made it all the more difficult for the engineers to once again achieve substantial weight savings. Thanks to the ASF body, the production R8 5.2 FSI quattro weighs only 1,625 kilograms (3,582.51 lb) - with quattro permanent all-wheel drive and optional R tronic transmission.
The extremely high strength of the body is the basis for the high-performance sports car's precise handling, and it also offers good vibration comfort and first-rate crash safety. The ASF body is largely hand-built at the Neckarsulm plant in a complex manufacturing process. The engine frame is made of ultra lightweight magnesium. The aluminum body panels are joined to the frame of extruded profiles and cast nodes by means of positive and friction connections. Its aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) body weighs only 210 kilograms (462.97 lb).
The production Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro is already a shining example of the Audi's lightweight construction philosophy. Each Audi R8 GT has a badge with its production number on the shift lever knob. The exclusive series is limited to 333 units. The genes of the race version are now coming to the street - in the Audi R8 GT.
This applies to both the production models, winners of the "World Performance Car" Award in 2008 (R8) and in 2010 (R8 V10), and to the race car, the R8 LMS, which won 23 races in its first season and claimed three championships. The R8 high-performance sports car has been a winner from the very beginning. The Audi R8 GT accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h (198.84 mph). The output of its 5.2-liter V10 has been increased to 412 kW (560 hp); vehicle weight has been reduced by roughly 100 kilograms (220.46 lb).
Now even more powerful, lighter and faster: Audi presents the Audi R8 GT - a limited-production version of the Audi R8 high-performance sports car.
