Audi Sport customer #racing presents its fourth new model in just four years: Following on from the radically new second-generation #Audi #R8LMS (2015), the #Audi RS 3 LMS TCR touring car (2016) and the #Audi #R8LMS GT4 sports car (2017), the evolution of the #Audi #R8LMS GT3 was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on October 2, 2018. Michael-Julius Renz, Managing Director of #Audi Sport GmbH, and Chris Reinke, Head of #Audi Sport customer #racing, revealed the model with the international exhibition visitors looking on. The new version of the model, successful worldwide in sprint and endurance #racing, is tailored closely to the customer requirements regarding technology and operating costs.
Bathurst, Daytona, Dubai, Laguna Seca, Nürburgring, Sepang and Spa: Ever since the #Audi #R8LMS made its debut in 2015, it has engraved its name in the winners’ lists of the major endurance races. Worldwide championship titles, plus international success in the FIA GT World Cup and Intercontinental GT Challenge complete the track record for the young winning car. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement for #Audi Sport: “In developing the evolution of the car, we’ve put even greater focus on our customers and their needs,” says Chris Reinke. “The pre-design stage for the second evolution of our current model generation centered on many discussions with our teams.” In addition to the pros who are successful with the race cars, amateur drivers have also clinched class victories or overall titles in America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.Following the world debut in Paris, #Audi Sport will deliver the first customer race cars in November at a sales price of 398,000 euros (plus VAT). The evolution kit for retrofitting older model generations costs 28,000 euros (plus VAT). Following FIA homologation, the race cars will be battling internationally for points, victories and titles starting in January.
