Video: GT3-spec Audi R8 LMS

Audi introduced the GT3-spec R8 at this year’s Essen Motor Show and in addition to previous images has also released the first video of the R8 LMS.

R8 LMS will be available from autumn 2009. Because the GT3 regulations prohibit the use of four-wheel drive the Audi R8 comes with the typical GT rear-wheel drive. R8 LMS has over 500 hp and all this power is sent to the rear wheels via a newly developed six-speed sequential sports gearbox.

The suspension uses almost exclusively components from the production line. A comprehensive list of safety equipment guarantees the highest-level of passive safety. A modified front end and a large rear-wing generate the required downforce for the race track.

The third one in the row is the facelifted 911 GT3 with new LED tail lights that has some black tape to hide the changes. Exhaust pipes look to be bigger than on the current GT3 (look at the black GT3 next to it).

Accompanied by a sound spectacle of automobile top class, the 964 Newton metres torque push down on the asphalt and vehemently thrust the car forward.

At the end of the four kilometre long straight, the display of the satellite-supported time measurement shows an incredible 409 km/h. With such a result, the 9ff GT9 does not only becomes a member in the elitist 400km/h-Club, no, it even takes the first place and also breaks the new Vmax world record for road-going vehicles.
