Audi just unveiled their new 2010 Audi R8 GT 5.2. Just thought I'd share some pictures of this sweet new ride.

They increased engine output from 525hp up to 560hp, simply by changing the engine electronics, now matching the Gallardo. Curb weight was reduced 220lbs, with a thinner windshield, polycarbonate rear windows, thinner aluminum sheet metal for the hood and CFRP used for the rear hatch, rear bumper and signature side blades. Replacing the bucket seats with seats made from CFRP that saved close 70 pounds and lightweight carpeting that saved an additional 17 pounds. The added muscle and reduced weight of the R8 GT results in a blistering 0-60 of less than 3.5 seconds and a top speed of almost 199 mph.

The GT will also be available with a race package that includes a bolt-in roll bar, four-point seat harnesses, a battery kill switch and a fire extinguisher. A full roll cage is also a factory option.

While the hand-built Audi R8 is already a rare car, the all-new Audi R8 GT will be limited to just 333 total units, pricing and availability in the United States have yet to be determined.
