The Audi specialists from MTM have released the MTM Audi R8 GT3-2 package, which places no less than 412 kW and 580 N.m of torque under the hood of the German supercar. The official numbers say the MTM Audi R8 GT3-2 can rocket from 0 – 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 317 km/h. Bare in mind this is the V8 4.2 FSI version of the R8 and not the newer V10 model.

Another major development brought by the MTM Audi R8 GT3-2 is the fact that the quattro all-wheel-drive system has been removed and power is now sent to the rear wheels only. Touted as the only street-legal RWD Audi, MTM has this to say: “Those who are searching for an ‘Ingolstädter’ with four rings and rear wheel drive have to look back more than four decades ago.”

With great power, and less grip, comes the need for great suspension; it’s a good thing then that MTM had a solution in their parts bin. The R8 GT3-2 gets the tuner’s adjustable setup, which has been designed to mesh perfectly with those 20-inch forged rims, behind which reside 380 mm discs.

Lastly, aerodynamics have been updated with the addition of a carbon fibre front spoiler, skirts, and an enormous rear wing.

    Not too bad,

    perhaps take a look at this video of an Eisenmann converted R8.
