2017 New York Auto Show: Audi R8 LMS GT4 Revealed
Rival for the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport is a 500bhp customer racer is the Audi R8 LMS GT4.
Audi has revealed its all-new GT4 contender, the R8 LMS GT4 at the 2017 New York Auto Show, which will make its race debut in next month's Nürburgring 24.
A rival for the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport is a 500bhp customer racer is the Audi R8 LMS GT4. The car will slot in between the Audi R8 LMS GT3 and the RS3 LMS TCR touring car in its customer racing product lineup.
GT4 models can already compete in 13 racing series around the globe, and the R8 LMS GT4 fills the gap between the TRC International Series and the GT3 category.
The Audi R8 LMS GT4 features a 5.2-litre V10 engine, rated to produce nearly 500bhp and controlled under the SRO GT4 norms.
"Audi Sport GmbH is one of the leading manufacturers offering cars in the GT3 and TRC customer sport categories," stated newly installed head of Audi's famed Quattro division, Stephan Winkelmann.
He further added, "Now we're targeting the GT4 class at exactly the right time. These fast-growing business segments and the DNA shared by our race cars and production vehicles underscore our ambition to become a truly global player in the high-performance league."
Audi is yet to reveal the exact changes made from the road-going R8 V10 to the GT4 version; however, there's lots of advanced aero splattered on the exterior, prominently the large rear wing and front spoiler.
Audi joins fellow other GT3 manufacturers BMW, Mercedes-AMG, McLaren GT and Porsche.
