2011 Audi R8 GT Review
2011 Audi R8 GT is based upon the V10-powered Audi R8 5.2 FSI and incorporates a number of innovations originally developed for the race-winning Audi R8 LMS, including lightweight components and a powered-up, direct-injection 5.2-liter V10 that delivers 560 horsepower.

The reduction in weight is complemented by a reworked version of Audi's naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, which has a redline of 8,700 rpm. Its 560 hp is developed at 8,000 rpm, representing a 35-hp increase. Torque has also increased marginally to 398 pound-feet at 6,500 rpm, a 6 lb-ft improvement.
