New Audi R8 RWD GT is final outing for legendary V10 supercar | Autocar

This is it - the final Audi R8 🔥 The legendary V10 supercar will bow out next year with a £200k special edition - the most powerful rear-driven Audi ever 👌🏼

Plus, there’s a new seven-stage rear traction control system that can be adjusted for the desired compromise between accuracy and flamboyance. The so-called 'Torque Rear Drive' mode' appears for the first time on the new GT, allowing for a"little slippage" in setting one and"a lot of slippage" in position seven.

Audi also highlights a weight reduction of roughly 20kg – to 1570kg at the kerb – courtesy of bespoke lightweight 20in wheels , ceramic brake discs, a carbonfibre-reinforced plastic front anti-roll bar and aluminium coupling rods. As with the GT edition of the previous-generation R8, the new car is painted in matte Suzuka Grey as standard and is marked out from the standard model by black badging, carbon trim, red seatbelts, an Alcantara diamond headlining and a build plaque in the centre console. As previously reported, Audi is set to replace the R8 with a radically redesigned electric supercar to crown its new era line-up of sports cars.
