Description

Glacier White with Black Alcantara interior, body colour contrast stitching and Black hood. Options highlights include Sports Seats, B&O sound and fitted luggage set. Full Audi service history. 20,846 miles. Limited to 333 units worldwide (this car is No. 131) and only 33 for the UK – the type 42 Audi R8 GT was created to celebrate the on-track success of its LMS racing cousin which had taken a one-two at the Nurburgring 24-hour. The answer to the prayers of those who thought the regular V10 R8 Spyder wasn't quick enough. The GT badge isn’t marketing fluff — it means lighter, sharper, faster. Audi trimmed 85kg from the standard Spyder using a meticulous diet of carbon fibre panels and even a thinner windscreen. The 5.2-litre V10 remains a masterpiece. Power increased to 552bhp of naturally aspirated fury that builds in a smooth, linear crescendo, its final 2,000rpm a glorious mechanical howl as you go from 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds and on to 197 mph. Visually, it’s all menace and intent: Glacier White paintwork, titanium grey accents, and a fixed carbon rear wing. Yet it retains a certain Audi elegance — purposeful rather than ostentatious. Roof down, V10 howling inches behind your ears, the R8 GT Spyder is a supercar you can genuinely use, but one that rewards you every single time you dare to drive it properly.
