GT3 CLASS R8? // AUDI MOTORSPORTS R16

Don't get too excited, Audi is not putting its full weight behind this spectacular example of a GT3 class R8. Nope, this car was specially built by Audi Motorsport for a privateer team and is expected to be delivered before the end of 2008. Now, the Audi Motorsport gentlemen are well aware of GT3 class stipulations, in which Audi's AWD system is strictly prohibited. That being the case, the above example (titled the R16) features a RWD layout, six speed manual transmission and an untampered R8 suspension setup. Major changes come in the way of aerodynamics, so look for Audi's mid engined monster to be grabbing gears and tagging fenders with the likes of Ferrari and Porsche in next years GT3 class at Le Mans // 08.27.2008
