One of the defining traits of Audi’s S, R, and RS cars is the brand\u2019s trademark Quattro all-wheel-drive system. German tuner MTM ignored that and designed a rear-drive R8. According to them, the R8 GT3-2 offers \u201ca complete new driving experience\u201d and is \u201ca perfect and exceptional supercar.\u201d MTM claims it’s building the only street-legal two-wheel-drive R8, although Audi itself beat them to the rear-drive punch with the track-only R8 GT3<\/a>.<\/p>\n As with the MTM-fettled R8<\/a> we drove a few years ago, MTM adds a supercharger to the R8 GT3-2’s 4.2-liter V-8 engine. Along with a low-restriction, high-noise exhaust, the kit offers a claimed 560 hp and 427 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n So equipped, MTM claims the car will hit 196 mph and finish the 0-to-62-mph sprint in 3.9 seconds. We\u2019re guessing acceleration times are limited by having just two driven wheels; the 525-hp R8 5.2 FSI<\/a> gets to 60 in 3.5 seconds, thanks in part to its Quattro all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n MTM also bolts on an adjustable suspension kit, forged 20-inch wheels wearing Dunlop Sport Maxx tires, and 15-inch brake discs. Visuals are amped up with a carbon-fiber front splitter, side skirts, and rear spoiler.<\/p>\n If you feel you have too much traction and not enough slip angle, MTM can either sell you a completed GT3-2 or perform the transformation on your current R8. There’s no price available yet, but the supercharger kit alone costs \u20ac29,900\u2014about $40k in our money.<\/p>\n Related posts:<\/p>\n One of the defining traits of Audi’s S, R, and RS cars is the brand\u2019s trademark Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
