The hand-polished MTM Audi R8 V10 BiTurbo has come out from its shell with its little brother, the MTM Audi TTRS, in Geneva today. We said previously this thing would be visible from space, and it looks like we were right. The naked polished aluminum body work took nearly 700 man hours to get looking... 

Only 333 will be produced, so if you want a 2011 Audi R8 GT you’d better act fast. In fact, only a third of that number are slated to hit US soil. Audi has announced pricing for the R8 GT, and the limited-production sports coupe will cost you $198,000. The most super of the R8 supercar family,... 

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?

While everybody and their brother likes the R8, there is a small, but vocal minority that’s always thought coupe looked a little funny. Not “fugly” mind you, just a tad… off. We’ve heard the term “porpoise skull” bandied about. Well, that group of naysayers... 

On a gravel-strewn, dead-end road 20 miles north of Sonoma, California’s Infineon Raceway, the opportunity finally presents itself. We slot the R8’s gated shifter into first, rev the engine to 3,500 RPM and drop the clutch. No wheel spin, no screeching tires, just an immediate and seamless...
