611bhp Audi R8 V10 GT RWD Revealed - Limited To Just 333 Units Worldwide

Audi R8 V10 GT RWD Specs & Mechanical Upgrades

The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD is powered by Audi's iconic 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine that pushes out 611bhp at 8,000rpm and 565Nm of peak torque at 6,400Nm of peak torque. The R8 V10 GT RWD's engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission which sends power to the rear wheels.

The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD produces 49bhp more than the standard RWD version of the German supercar. This combined with a much snappier version of the 7-speed gearbox allows the R8 V10 GT RWD to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. 200km/h takes just 10.1 seconds and the top speed of the R8 V10 GT RWD is 320km/h.

The new Audi R8 V10 GT RWD has a new Torque Rear driving mode that allows drivers to control rear axle slippage through seven stages. This new mode is controlled by the new R8 model's traction control system with 7 seven different curves offering 7 levels of support. Level 1 sees the traction control system interfere quite a bit while Level 7 sees the least amount of interference allowing drivers to really go sideways.

The new R8 V10 GT RWD is also 20 kilos lighter than its standard version. This has been achieved by using bucket seats, carbon-ceramic brakes, new lightweight 20-inch forged wheels and lightweight suspension parts.

The new R8 V10 GT RWD is offered with a lightweight suspension setup with carbon fibre reinforced plastic front anti-roll bar and coupling rods made from anodized aluminium. This, claims Audi, reduces weight and increases road-holding and cornering dynamics. Owners can also opt for the sportier adjustable coil over suspension setup that allows you to individually adjust the trim position and the compression and rebound levels.

The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD rides on 20-inch lightweight wheels. These 10-spoke forged wheels are based on the ones found on Audi's motorsport vehicles and are shod with Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres.

Audi R8 R8 V10 GT RWD Design & Features

The all-new Audi R8 V10 GT RWD sports quite a few exclusive add-on parts including Carbon Aerokit in high gloss which includes a front splitter, flics, side skirt covers, a few elements on the sides of the rear bumper, a diffuser, and a rear wing with gooseneck suspension. All badges are finished in black including the new R8 GT badge at the rear.

The inside of the new R8 V10 GT RWD supercar is a mix of black and red. This includes red seat belts, last seen in the R8 GT from 2010. The bucket seats and floor mats feature the name of the new limited edition R8 in black and red. The sequential numbering denoting which of the 333 units each supercar is can be found in the middle of the selector lever, partially matted in the carbon inlay.

The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD can be specced in three colour ways - Suzuka Gray, Tangorot Metallic and Daytona Gray Metallic. The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD will arrive at dealerships in 2023 and is priced at 225,000 euros.

Thoughts About The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD

The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD sees the German marque finally say goodbye to the iconic 5.2-litre V10 engine its supercar shared with the Lamborghini Huracan. With its limited numbers, we expect this bonkers rear-wheel drive R8 to sell out way before it hits dealerships next year.
