Audi R8 GT Spyder to Hit Showrooms
Following on from the success of the R8, the R8 V10 and the R8 V10 Spyder, Audi has now launched the latest R8 model, the R8 GT Spyder. This new soft top Spyder model of the R8 will be limited to 66 models in the UK, and a total of 333 across the world. Potential customers are being asked to register their interest online now. Order books will open this summer with predicted delivery for the early part of next year.
The Audi R8 V10 Spyder accelerates from 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 197mph. The long stroke engine produces 540Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm with a peak power of 560PS. The R8’s famous R tronic sequential manual transmission allows for gear shifts within one tenth of a second, with Normal, Sport and ‘manual’ modes.
The GT model has some enhancements on the exterior including, contrasting titanium grey trim elements, a dual lip front splitter, flicks at the side of the front bumper, red GT badges, and enlarged diffuser and dark LED tail lights in a clear-glass design. An optional windscreen frame in matte glass fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is also available.
The Audi R8 GT model’s interior is finished in black, with the option of either titanium grey or crimson red trim. The upholstery, sports steering wheel and inner windscreen rail are finished in Alcantara. All this on top of the standard list of equipment in the R8, which include, LED headlights and tail lights, automatic air conditioning, DVD satellite navigation as well as driver information system complete with built-in lap timer.
The model is certainly one you are going to want to keep in good condition. The trick to this is regular Audi servicing. Surrey based Audi dealers can offer quality servicing, often at cheaper prices than in the capital.
