Audi R8 GT

So what has changed in comparison with "normal» R8 V10 5.2 FSI, which is built on the basis of modification GT? The machine is thinner, and for a good hundredweight (up to 1525 kg). It's simple: "thrones," have given way to fiberglass-reinforced met-bucket seats (-31.5 kg), and the rear bumper and the "blade" air above it is now made of carbon fiber (-6.7 kg). Glazing machines are also reviewed (-9 lbs): windshield was thinner, and the rear window with a transparent lid engine compartment made of polycarbonate.

The machine installed 19-inch wheels, stretched tires on them, Pirelli P Zero Corsa 235/35 dimension front and 295/30 rear. The surcharge will increase the width of the rear roller of 10 mm.
Power atmospheric engine V10 with 5.2 liters - 525 forces - the Germans seemed to be insufficient. Therefore, in the database has settled the same version of the engine, which stands on the Laborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and boasts of 560 "horses" and 540 N • m As a result, the sprint to the hundreds of supercar Audi R8 GT Launch-activated control requires only 3.6 s to accelerate to 200 km / h in 10.8 s (the standard version - 3.9 and 12, respectively), and the maximum speed increased to 320 km / h against 319.

Weight distribution on the axis is almost the same: 43% of the weight falls on the front wheels, 57% - to the rear.
It should be noted that the vehicle is equipped with exclusive "robot» R tronic with six gears, which in combat mode produces a shift in less than 100 ms. Surprisingly, the fuel consumption in combined cycle has not changed - the same 13.7 liters per 100 kilometers. Viskomufty quattro all-wheel drive systems under normal conditions continue to distribute the thrust ratio 15:85, but the front can go up to 30% of the time. By the way, rear axle is equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential - the degree of blocking of 25% during acceleration and deceleration of 40%.

Karbonokeramicheskie brakes R8 GT on the list of basic equipment (for which, incidentally, managed to save as much as 9 kg). Diameter front discs - 380mm diameter rear - 356 mm.

Deterrent of any rivals around the trunks of the exhaust system is now easier. They are made of high strength steel.
Further, an inch lowered suspension. After playing a bit with the settings, the Germans say they have improved the handling machine. There are improvements and on the part of aerodynamics. For example, the front bumper is decorated with a pair of carbon fiber fairings and a two-level splitter and rear spoiler perched solid of the same material (1.2 kg). Despite the increase in downforce, drag coefficient remains the same - 0.36.

As an option, the Germans offer a package of Race Package, which includes additional anti-roll bar, fire extinguisher, four-point safety harness, switch off the battery. Everything else is free to set the safety cage.
The design is harmonious: the bet is placed on a dull gray color of certain items. Special model also produce badges on the sides of GT and blackout lights. Inside - different from the old white appliances, rugs with appropriate inscriptions and gearbox lever on which the serial number of the car. Delight the eye with carbon fiber "ears" that are in the form of not quite the same as that of the younger "brother" model.

The engine weighs 258 kg. In comparison with the newly made motor W12 6.3 FSI (247 kg) Audi A8 L is not too small.
The main competitor of the model, the circulation of which will be limited to 333 copies, sees a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Although the latter being weighty and 30 hp weaker, is gaining a hundred in 0.3 seconds earlier, the maximum speed he plays Audi exactly 5 km / h. But in favor of Stuttgart dvuhdverki emblem on the icon plays a price - 173 000 euros against 193 thousand euros in Germany. Well, the exclusive worth the money.
