Words simply fail to do the new Audi R8 GT justice. After all, how can you describe the most visceral iteration of the car that made the automotive industry collectively stop and drool on arrival? Although numbers are transparent to the experience of gripping the Le Mans textured steering wheel and slicing through a chicane at an offensive speed, here are a few figures that give the slightest taste of the 2012 Audi R8 GT's intensity:
220 pounds lighter than the ultralight Audi R8 v10
+35 horsepower up from the (by no means) "standard" v10, for a mind-bending 560 hp
0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds
Top speed of 198.84 miles per hour
The new Audi R8 GT is a limited-production of an already scarce hand-built vehicle; this is the new definition of High Performance Sportscar.
