The long wait begins: Audi's race-ready R8 GT3

By Antuan Goodwin on 28 August 2008

No more four-wheel drive
The GT3 R8 eschews Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system in favour of a GT regulation rear-wheel drive transmission. The race-prepped R8's engine is good for at least 370kW (500-horsepower in old money) or about 70kW more than the standard car. All tyre-frying mumbo is delivered via a newly developed six-speed sequential sports gearbox. A modified front end and an extra large GT-style rear-wing keep the race model glued to the track.
