Audi’s naturally aspirated supercar will be retiring soon.
Although the Audi R8 is on the verge of becoming obsolete, Ingolstadt’s V10 car is still highly desirable. Although the second generation may not have had as much impact as the 2006 model, the mid-engined beast still ticks all of the right boxes. The Plus specification is even more desirable.
Audi Forum Neckarsulm displays this beauty in Ara Blue and equipped with a variety of optional goodies from their Performance Parts catalogue. This was launched last summer by Audi Sport for both the R8 and its baby, TT RS. You might be tempted to believe that the car is no longer road legal. The design of this car echoes the track-only LMS GT4 released towards the end 2017.
The R8 is available with either a two-way or three-way coilover suspension. These black 20-inch wheels are fully milled and reduce the car’s weight by 17.6 lbs (8 kg). They also come with 245/30 R20 front tires and 305/30 R20 back tires.
If a customer chooses to have all the aero options, the high-performance Audi can generate 551 lbs (225 kg) of downforce at speeds up to 205 mph (335 kph), or 220lbs (100 kg) higher than the standard items.
You can also get interior upgrades that complement the body’s modifications, like a sportier steering column covered in Alcantara with a red 12 o’clock marking. For those who want the best, the shift paddles can be made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
Audi Sport plans to upgrade its supercar, even though the R8 won’t likely be renewed for a third time, nor will it produce an entry-level V6 model. Spy photos have revealed a camouflaged prototype with a fat oval exhaust tip, suggesting it could have been a limited edition R8 GT.
