The GT featured a lighter windshield when compared with the standard R8 as well as a carbon-fiber front splitter, rear diffuser, fixed rear wing, dive planes, and mirror caps. The car is finished in Sphere Blue Matte and features a black convertible soft top, LED headlights, tinted LED taillights, and integrated exhaust outlets. Paint defects on the hood were discovered, and a replacement hood was repainted and fitted by Audi Minneapolis in 2021.
The 19″ double-spoke Y-design wheels are mounted with Pirelli P Zero tires. The GT came with a manually adjustable coilover suspension in place of the magnetorheological dampers offered on the standard R8. Braking is handled by red calipers over carbon-ceramic discs at all four corners.
The cabin is equipped with the enhanced leather package and features heated power-adjustable sport seats trimmed in black leather with Titanium Gray stitching. Amenities include carbon-fiber trim, a body-color center console, Audi Parking System Plus with a rearview camera, an on-board lap timer, a touchscreen infotainment system with Audi navigation, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, a CD stereo, a Passport radar detector, automatic climate control, and illuminated door sills. The shift knob is accented by R8 GT lettering and shows this example is #087 of 333 produced.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 220-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 6k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.2-liter FSI V10 features dry-sump lubrication and was factory rated at 560 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque in GT specification. The engine-bay is adorned with factory-optioned matte carbon-fiber trim.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed R-tronic automated transaxle and Quattro all-wheel drive.
