For $446,000, this Le Mans-ready Audi can be yours
Back at the Geneva Auto Show, Audi unveiled the Audi R8 LMS, the 2016 Audi R8-based race car. About half of the R8 LMS is comprised of parts from the production model, while the other half includes a GT3-spec roll cage and other racing equipment
However, to conform to racing regulations, the R8 LMS is rear-drive, not all-wheel like the street car. The 5.2 liter V10 makes 585 bhp in race spec (the street V10 makes 540 hp, with the V10 Plus cranking out 610). The body of the car is fitted with all kinds of race-ish goods, including a fixed rear spoiler, wide body extensions, and a plethora of air intakes fitted to the newly-angular R8 bodywork
Audi just announced the pricing for the R8 LMS today. For €398,000 ($446,000 at today's exchange rate) you can buy this race car and never drive it around town because it's not street-legal at all—but if you've got a pit crew and a team of drivers, you can drive it for several hours in any of a number of endurance racing series worldwide
