We knew it was coming, and now it's here - prepare to meet the final Audi R8 with a combustion engine. The V10 era is drawing to a close as Ingolstadt is sunsetting the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter FSI with a hardcore version of its mid-engined supercar. It's effectively the best of both worlds by combining the superior power of the Quattro model with the lighter package of its RWD sibling. In fact, more weight has been trimmed for the GT.

A follow-up to the namesake special edition from 2010, the new R8 GT offers 612 horsepower to perfectly match the Quattro model. The big difference here is that output is routed only to the rear wheels. In addition, a newly developed seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission delivers gear chances quicker than ever before. The maximum torque of 565 Newton-meters (417 pound-feet) arrives from 6,400 rpm.
