The new Audi R8 GT Spyder got an early unveiling outside the Audi Racing Pavillion at the 2011 24 Hours of LeMans yesterday evening. The 552 hp V10 drop-top rocket uses carbon fiber panels and a lightened interior to lower weight compared to the standard R8 5.2 FSI quattro Spyder. Audi claims 62 mph arrives in just 3.8 seconds, and the car tops out at 197 mph.All that horsepower travels through a six-speed sequential-manual gearbox with paddle shifters, along with an all-wheel drive system that uses a viscous coupling and rear-wheel-drive bias. Rounding out the package, Audi says updated aerodynamics versus the R8 Spyder help increase high-speed downforce: The package includes a dual-lip front splitter and different rear diffuser.
How about that roof? Audi says it opens in a mere 20 seconds, and can be dropped at speeds of up to 30 mph, after which it tucks itself beneath a carbon-fiber rear boot.
As with the R8 GT coupe, the R8 GT Spyder will be assembled in a run of just 333 cars at Audi's Neckarsulm manufacturing plant in Germany.
