The new racer is the most powerful model ever offered by Audi Sport customer racing. In production, the synergies with the Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro production model are very pronounced.

Race series for gentleman pilots
The race car, which starts at 338,000 euros (excluding VAT), can compete in the GT2 Sports Club America, the GT2 Sports Club Europe and the GT2 Sports Club Asia from 2020. These racing series are aimed specifically at gentleman drivers who appreciate the high longitudinal dynamics of the race car.
