Audi Sport Italia received today the first Audi R8 LMS, wearing chassis number 101, two days after the symbolic handover of the vehicle, made on Tuesday. The car, designed for the GT3 class competitions, will be available in the "stables" of five other racing teams: Abt Sportsline, Argo Racing, ORECA, Phoenix Racing and Team Rosberg. The teams plan on using the LMS in five European GT3 Championships as well as in the 24 hour race at Nürburgring.
The R8 LMS is powered by a 5.2l 500 horsepower normally aspirated V10 engine, derived from a production unit and mounted longitudinally in front of the rear axle of the Audi R8 LMS. The powerplant is equipped with petrol direct injection FSI, which allows for a higher compression rate and makes for greater power output.
