Audi introduced the R8 GT3 back in August. R8 GT3 is a racing sports car specifically developed for customer use in the form of the powerful 500 hp which will be available from autumn 2009. All this power is sent to the rear wheels via sequential sport six–speed gearbox (GT3 regulations prohibit the use of four-wheel drive).

Currently Audi is testing this car together with ABT Sportsline at the Nürburgring. Driver of the testi car is Frank Biela who drove this morning in wet conditions and in very low temperature (just 1.5 °C) a lap time of 8:41 minutes. Check out the photos of this über R8 below.
