Audi R8 GT: Part two
- 5 years ago
The huge rear wing, stripped-out interior and slick tyres on the R8 LMS make the more subtle R8 GT seem humble in comparison. While these cars are aimed at different audiences and environments though, they both share the same chassis underneath.
But just how much faster is the race-bred machine than the harder and faster road warrior?
In part one of our video review last week, Jack Rix got behind the wheel of the new R8 GT. But for part two we visited Blyton Park racetrack in the North of England and handed the keys to both cars over to Marino Franchitti - professional racing driver and sports car specialist. The results are nothing short of spectacular.
