When Audi came out with the R8, they probably must have spent a lot getting it up because they are really milking it for what it’s worth. After sticking with the same formula, Audi has unveiled the “Audi Sport” edition of the R8 at the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Sporting a silver, red and black design, this car is built in a limited run of only 200 units and will be available in May 2017 onwards.
“In 2016, we had the most successful year in the history of Audi Sport customer racing, our customer sport department,” said Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Audi Sport GmbH. “With the R8 LMS we brought home 24 titles, scored 85 race victories and tallied up over 100 other podium finishes.”
