| Revealed! Audi R8 GT goes on a diet and gets more power |
2 May |
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Audi
Audi dropped a very pleasant surprise on us this afternoon with the long-awaited announcement of the R8 GT.
The Audi R8 V10 was already one of our favorite sports cars in the world (sans the R-Tronic transmission) so how could you make it better? In the immortal words of Colin Chapman, “add lightness.” But in a modern sports car required to meet rigorous safety standards, you can only go so far short of a complete redesign. Hence, the R8 GT’s lightened chassis benefits from a power boost to boot.
The R8 GT swaps in a thinner glass windshield and polycarbonate rear windows and replaces many aluminum body panels with carbon fiber. By going over every part of the R8, Audi’s engineers have carved a total of 220 pounds off the standard R8′s curb weight.
The 5.2-liter V10 has been bumped from 525 horsepower to 560, topping its cousin, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The GT is only available with the aforementioned R-Tronic hydraulically actuated semi-automatic, and when pushed to its limit, the R8 GT is claimed to accelerate to 62 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and on to 124 mph in 10.6 seconds. The terminal velocity has been increased to 198.8 mph.
Only 333 examples of the R8 GT will be built and the price in Germany is €193,000 ($256,000 USD). No mention is made of U.S. availability, but we’d be surprised if Audi doesn’t apportion a few for Stateside consumption. Full details in the press release after the break.

| Spy Shots: Orange you glad the new Audi RS3 has been spotted? |
1 May |
Filed under: Spy Photos, Performance, Paris Motor Show, Hatchback, Audi
The Audi RS-fest continues with the RS3, spied on its way to the ‘Ring for the obligatory entrance exam to become any kind of sports car. The news on the street is that the RS3 will get a reworked version of the five-cylinder lump from the TT RS with output claimed to be “over 330 bhp.” It won’t though, get the TT RS’s six-speed manual, going for an S-tronic instead. We could see it at the Paris Motor Show, but we won’t see it here in the States. With Audi’s continued refusal to even bring over the S3, the chances of an RS3 making it to the U.S. are limited… at best.

| How do I fix the brake lights on my Audi A6? |
30 Apr |
I have an Audi A6 and I have been getting a warning light that says to check my “brake ligthts”. My regular brake lights work fine. The row of small brake lights in the rear window have three lights that are out, but all the rest in the row are working.
Is this a fuse problem or do I need to change the three bulbs? If it’s the bulbs, how do I change them?
Changing a fuse or a light bulb does NOT require a mechanic!!!!

| Bahn burner turned track rat: MTM Audi RS6 Clubsport |
30 Apr |
Filed under: Aftermarket, Sedan, Performance, Europe, Audi, Specialty
Of all the products in the Audi arsenal, we’re not sure if the RS6 would be our track rat of choice. It’s twin-turbocharged V10, massive meats and grippy all-wheel drive system is surely the stuff of track-day dreams, but we’ve always been more enamored by the RS6′s brutal, road-going civility – it’s simply better suited to high-speed cross-country runs rather than full-on tarmac attacks. MTM appears to disagree.
The German tuner of all things Audi has put the sedan variant under the knife to create the RS6 Clubsport, and as with everything from MTM, it’s a compellingly comprehensive package.
The mods start with a new front lip, carbon fiber rear diffuser, an adjustable suspension and black 21-inch wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. Inside, the factory thrones have been nixed in favor of a duo of carbon fiber Recaro buckets with six-point harness attached to a rear-mounted roll cage that’s sure to have displaced the rear seats.
Engine upgrades are limited to a high-flow air filter and stainless steel exhaust, but with the help of MTM’s crack ECU tuners, they’ve been able to boost output of the turbo’d 5.0-liter V10 to 720 horsepower (at 6,360 rpm) and and 579 pound-feet of torque (between 2,750 and 6,280 rpm) – a sizable increase over the stock engine’s 571 hp and 479 lb-ft of twist. And if you option up the tires to one of the four available compounds (and why wouldn’t you?), a derestricted top speed of 211 mph can be yours. We think we’ll take ours in five-door form, sans the cage. Maybe in brown…
