Visually, it stands apart from the other R8 versions with the blacked-out four rings and the R8 GT badge at the back. The aerodynamic body kit comes perfected in the wind tunnel. It has been made from carbon fibre, which bridges the gap between the road-spec model and the race editions of the Lamborghini Huracan sibling. This final edition R8 comes painted in matte Suzuka Gray as a node to the original R8 GT. There are other colour theme options like Daytona Gray and Tango Red metallic as well.
The car runs on 20-inch forged wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tyres and is equipped with ceramic brakes. Inside the cockpit, it gets red accents that remind us of the 2010 R8 GT.

The bucket seats and carbon fibre reinforced plastic stabilizer bar at the front axle further help in weight reduction.
Speaking about the car's mechanical bits, a newly developed seven-speed dual-clutch transmission shifts gear quicker than ever before. The engine churns out 565 Nm of torque. The Audi R8 V10 GT RWD sprints to 0-100 kmph in 3.4 seconds and 200 kmph in 10.1 seconds before topping out at 320 kmph.
