Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II unveiled

Ahead of the 2022 race season, Audi Sport has introduced an improved R8 LMS GT3. The new evo II package focuses on five main areas.

They are:
  1. Aerodynamics – a modified rear wing now provides a greater proportion of the car’s overall downforce.
  2. Suspension – four-way adjustable dampers are fitted for the first time.
  3. Engine characteristics – a 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine still sends up to 585 PS (577 bhp / 430 kW) to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission, but a revised air intake alters how the 550 Nm (405 lb-ft) of peak torque is delivered.
  4. Traction control – the system is more adjustable than before, with additional functionality.
  5. Air conditioning – upgrades are intended to enhance driver comfort, especially over longer stints at higher ambient temperatures.
Customer teams can order a complete R8 LMS GT3 evo II for €429,000. At today’s exchange rates, that VAT-exclusive price roughly equates to £369,650 or US$506,070.

Alternatively, Audi Sport is offering an evo II parts kit for the previous-generation model.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
