"Ever since the R8 was unveiled we’ve been inundated with enquiries about a race version. With the Audi R8 we will offer customers a racing sportscar equipped with high-calibre technology and the typical Audi qualities, but which is nevertheless easy to handle," explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. Because GT3 regs prohibit the use of four-wheel drive the Audi R8 comes with the typical GT rear-wheel drive. Power is transmitted via a newly developed six-speed sequential sports gearbox. A modified front end and a large rear-wing generate the required downforce for the race track and a comprehensive list of safety equipment guarantees the highest-level of passive safety.

michael Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I like bits of it but I prefer the overall look of the standard car. Even more so as a roadster. http://allcarsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/63278.jpg Maybe I'm gay or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I think you need help certainly. It's just not agressive enough to be a racer and with the extras it's not pretty enough to be an R8. And it's not pink, it needs to be pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 It makes a nice car look very gay indeed... Michael, you are officially 'wrong' on this one I'm afraid. (unless it was ironey, and then 'lol' etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sorry, I won't be moved on this one, the R8 is a pretty car, it's not some evil purposeful design that's main intention is to suck air and spit it out again, it's pretty, it's fast with it but it's easy on the eye because, dare I say it, it's Audi bland with a spinkle of Lambo fun... which is then smoothed out a bit. I like the R8 a lot, I just don't think the GT3 goes far enough to move it away from the base car but goes far enough to make it ugly. Maybe a different set of wheels would help but it's not doing it for me and I love GT3 cars normally. The front view is lovely, as is the rear, it's the 3/4 and side where I'm not having visual delight. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/images/front_picture_library_UK/dir_554/car_photo_277335_25.jpg http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/images/front_picture_library_UK/dir_554/car_photo_277332_25.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The LF-A roaster works... this one looks better as a coupe. I think it looks a little too similar to a lot of VW/Audi drop tops. Not a bad car of course, just nothing that blows me away in awe. Edit. opinions changing after seeing it with the top up (and in that colour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 I like the R8 a lot, I just don't think the GT3 goes far enough to move it away from the base car but goes far enough to make it ugly. OMG UR liek so rong just admit it!!!!3.14!! The R8 convertible looks better than the 350Z convertible effort, but it still looks better as a tin top. You're wrong.

tDR Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Love the GT3.... to me it suitably butches up the standard R8 which I like a lot anyways. Don't like the ragtop version...... makes it look all TT to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Looks better in that 2nd picture. I'm not sure about the rear lights/mesh stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
