Only 7 Audi R8 GT models have been made available to South African buyers, and all have apparently been pre-sold at the asking price of R2 620 000 a pop. Who the lucky buggers are we’ll only know when we see them on the road. Don’t count on it though. Meanwhile, for the rest of us plebs, the car will be on display at the 2011 Johannesburg International Motor Show in October.
The R8 GT is the meanest R8 ever deviced. It sports the same 5.2-litre V10 engine from the R8 V10, but adds more kiloWatts to take power up to 412kW. At the same time Audi says it shed 100kg over the standard car, enabling it to go from 0 – 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds. A top speed of 320 km/h can be reached.
