How do you change an already well tuned sports car? Simply, just reduce the weight and increase the horsepower. Audi presents a limited-production version of its Audi R8 high-performance sports car, the R8 GT. It is now more powerful, lighter and faster.
First in the weight reduction arena, the Audi R8 GT uses a thinner glass windshield and polycarbonate rear windows. It also replaces aluminum body panels with lighter carbon fiber panels. All these changes reduced to a total of 220 pounds.
In the power department, the Audi R8 GT gets the new 5.2-liter V10, which pumps out 560 horsepower, and that is about 35 horsepower more. The new engine is mated to the R-Tronic hydraulically actuated semi-automatic. This gives the R8 GT from 0 to 62 mph in just about 3.6 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.6 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph.
You may be out of luck if you don’t grab one fast, because there will be only 333 units of the R8 GT will be built with a sticker price of and the price of about $256,000. So far we haven’t heard anything about the availability in the U.S.A. But no worries, if Ferrari is here in the U.S., so will be this Audi R8 GT.
According to a senior company official that spoke with AutoCar, BMW is planning “a breakthrough green supercar†by the end of 2012. Now we’re not sure if this different from the production CS Concept that we’ve been hearing about but the car is said to rival the Audi R8 and upcoming Mercedes-Benz Gullwing SLC.
BMW’s Efficient Dynamics division will enable fuel-saving technology with direct-injection, brake energy regeneration and stop-start. Insiders say the car is a “puristic two-seater that draws on all the latest BMW technology and lightweight build processes.â€
The BMW green supercar will carry supercar performance with fuel-consumption and CO2 levels that of the mid-range 5-Series. Power will come from uprated version of the company’s 3.0L 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine. A source close to the project says that the new car will be influenced by the M1 Hommage concept.

2012 BMW M1 will have a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine under the hood. The electric engines will develop in total 356 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.At the moment this car is just a concept. BMW claims a 4.8-second 0-60, along with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
Drivetrain components will apparently come straight out of the Efficient Dynamics concept, which had a “mid-mounted” 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbo diesel despite a 2+2 seating arrangement.
Ninety-eight lithium polymer cells provide the power for the electric motors. Peak output of all power sources, according to BMW, would be 356 hp, along with 590 pound-feet of torque.
BMW can do all this and come up with a car that looks as astonishing as the original Giugiaro-penned M1 that would really be a achievement of design.BMW officials, in addition to confirming their decision to pull out from Formula One racing at the end of the 2009 season, also revealed today that the Bavarian automaker will swipe the covers off an all-new ‘green’ sports car concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The announcement was made by the Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Development, Klaus Draeger, at the press conference on the realignment of the German firm’s motor sports activities.
“Sustainability is becoming very important,” said Draeger in his speech. You will see a sustainable development product at the IAA in Frankfurt in a few weeks in the form of a concept car. The BMW EfficientDynamics Vision will show how efficient a sports car can be.
“Anyone who takes a closer look at this concept car will understand the direction in which we are developing our technology. And it will become evident that we will have to dedicate more human and financial resources to this type of development work,” Draeger concluded.
It was reporterd that the concept sports car study may very well act as a teaser for a production model that could hit the market as soon as 2012 rivaling the likes of the Audi R8 and Porsche 911.
It has also been reported that ‘green’ supercar of BMW’s will be a two-seater mid-engined coupe equipped with the latest fuel-saving technologies from BMW’s Efficient Dynamics programme including direct injection, brake energy regeneration and stop-start systems plus enhanced aerodynamics.
The Audi R8 was first launched back in 2007 and even though it has remained successful throughout its many years on the market, Audi is preparing it for a major makeover for the 2012 model year (2013 for the US market). The first details of the future model suggest that the car will receive a facelifted exterior and interior design, and more powerful engines – both V8 and V10 options. The new Audi R8 is expected in the summer of 2012.
For the exterior, the R8 will only be receiving minor adjustments with a new headlamp design and millimetric changes to the LED spacing. The biggest changes will be found under the hood. The 5.2 liter V10 engine will be tuned to deliver 533 HP, up from today’s 518 HP, and will be combined with a new seven-speed dual clutch S-tronic gearbox.
As for the V8, it will be upgraded to have the same specs found in the S5. This means a total of 444 HP, up from today’s 424 HP. The company also confirmed there will be an updated GT and GT Spyder version.
