MTM Rolls Out Audi R8 GT3-2 with RWD and 560 Ponies

German tuner of all things VW Group, MTM, just released information regarding its latest take on Audi's R8, the GT3-2. Packing 560 horsepower (412 kW) and rear-wheel-drive, the supercharged 4.2 FSI V8 puts down 580 Nm (428 lb-ft) of torque to help it pop 100 km/h (62 mph) in around 3.9 seconds. Top speed arrives at a claimed 317 km/h (197 mph).

With great power comes the need for great suspension; good thing MTM has a bunch of stuff out in the back shed. The R8 GT3-2 gets the tuner's adjustable setup which has been designed to mesh perfectly with those 20-inch forged rims, behind which reside 380 mm discs.
Lastly, aerodynamics have been updated with the addition of a carbon fiber front spoiler, skirts, and that big rear wing.

Touted as the only street-legal RWD Audi, MTM has this to say: "Those who are searching for an 'Ingolstädter' with four rings and rear wheel drive have to look back more than four decades ago."

I say save on the Delorean's rental fees and go straight to MTM. Don't want to buy another R8? That's fine; they'll convert yours if you already own one and just need that oversteer-y feel

Wow!

The Audi R8 has always been one of favourites. Its just a Lambo wearing some ugly clothing. And I am a sucker for ugly cars that can move.
