Spied: The 2012 Audi R8 GT LW
As if the R8GT wasn't amazing enough!

If you think the Audi R8 GT is not exclusive enough, not hard core enough, then Audi might just have something for you in a near future. It may look like a “normal” GT at the first look, but look closely and you will find a bigger front spoiler in race car look. The track seems also to be slightly wider given away by the small flaps on the front and rear fenders. At the back there are small Gurney flaps on each side of the rear spoiler as well as a bigger Gurney flap on the wing itself. Our Teamspeed spies at the ring bring us one heck of an exclusive today!

Is this a prototype for the extra lightweight car that’s been rumored to be called the R8 NF? An R8 GT with more body parts exchanged to carbon fiber? And if this is a more hard core version of the GT, will it also have more power or just be lighter?

Many questions that for the time being only the guys over at Quattro GmbH and Audi can give us answers to. We will try to keep you updated on this special edition!

 

Audi pulling a Porsche? When will we see the R8 RS GT edition?

 

^took the words right outta my mouth
but looks at those exhausts!

 

My biggest complaint against the R8 has been its weight. I'd love for this to be a really stripped out lightweight model.

 

I find all this to be a perpetuation of an already failed car (sorry R8 owners)...

 

I'm not an R8 owner, but just curious, what don't you like about it-in V8 or V10 form?

 

I guess its all up to personal opinion but how is the R8 a failed car?

 

this^^^ ??? im confused...failed how?

 

I love the R8, and light weight version will be awesome.

 

This car looks crazy! Can't image how much weight can Audi take out from the GT?
