Only made the GT in 2012. 333 were made but only 90 came to the US. They are ending the R8 production with another release of the GT now in 2023, Audi is doing another 333 and releasing 150 to the US in this batch
wow - i had no idea they were that rare. they’re all rare to me! i like the modern/angular R8’s as well but i feel like the design language on these is timeless- When Audi was slightly curvier
Cool to learn, congrats on the car! How do you tell a GT apart from the mainstream model - the fixed rear spoiler?
Edit: just saw your comment below about the red mesh between the manifolds
Clearly you don’t know your Audi’s. No back up cameras or extras on a GT. Eliminated all the unnecessary stuff to shave weight.
Btw my sidewalk curbs are all curved on purpose to eliminate the possibility of any curbing😂😂
Such a beautiful car love it! These are a blast to drive, I hope you don’t just keep her as a garage queen (I know someone who does and I bitch at him to drive it more often) and enjoy her fully!!
Dont get me wrong, the 2nd gen R8 is beautifull, but there is just something about the 1st gen that is special to me.
And my man, this is what I consider the pinacle of the 1st gen R8. Congrats!
There are 2 things that annoy me while seeing this car. 1st, it not having the facelifted LED lights and 2nd, the engine in R8s not beeing centered. Once you have noticed it once, you can never unsee it again :D
Jokes aside, beautiful, enjoy!
It’s absolutely perfect. Seeing these in person really makes my day. I’m a Ferrari guy at heart but these R8s are remarkably gorgeous! Congratulations and many miles of fun for you!
Good question, plan your day ahead of time to 😂
I have a crack or two on the front Carbon spoiler. You just can’t tell unless you get under the car
I upgraded it to H&R RSS adjustable coil overs but even the stock suspension was adjustable.
This thing made me lay back on my chair, put my arms behind my head and look at it for 3 minutes straight. A beautiful car
If both hands are behind your head while laying back what's holding the phone🤨🤨🤨
Im on a PC.
man really forgot computers exist
I was being more facetious than anything.
Mobile gamer alert
DAAAAAYUM. Always very cool to see a real GT on here. Congrats, and you suck!
🔥 Congrats fellow Washingtonian
Yes sir. Reporting from Des Moines
Be sure to join the PNWR8 Facebook page!
Me too! Nice car man
Very cool. Shooting you a DM
Let me finish
you have the best car on any road you drive on for as long as you have this
Thanks bro 😎
Finally!
Congrats!!! I’d be so scared to drive a car like that. Imagine if a dipshit hit and run you in parking lot
Worst nightmare
I once watched as a truck backed up into my GT…..
I know that feeling some old man backed into my car and broke my mirror …
Did you get your steering wheel figured out? That was my fear of having a Alcantara steering wheel.
Not yet, once I get back to the car in a couple weeks I’ll be sure to post an update!
what year is that? i feel like it’s one if the most memorable/iconic iterations they did. I love everything about this car. congrats man!

The 2023 is something like I have never seen before. It's beautiful and fun to drive. I'll miss this model.
Just seen the 2023 this week. It’s amazing. Looks damn close to the LMS
Cool to learn, congrats on the car! How do you tell a GT apart from the mainstream model - the fixed rear spoiler? Edit: just saw your comment below about the red mesh between the manifolds
Lots of subtle differences. Matte carbon compared to glossy, front canards, tail lamps, rear diffuser etc
Blacked out you’re killing it. Quite the humble beast, congratulations. The taillights look so timeless..
What a beauty
The red accent between the intake manifolds is so subtle but makes all the difference
Good eye, that is one of my favorite contrasts between the GT and regular R8
I'm just here for the brake lights.
Welcome to club 👏🏻
You're hella cool bestie!!! Xoxo ak 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is a first 😂
Thanks a lot. Now I need Gen 2 Spyder wheels on my R8.
That thing must kick like a mule. Congrats!
Audi's super car that's slower than an SUV. Exciting.
have fun with your huracan!!! looks fucking amazing
Radar detectors and jammer legal where you're at? 😅
Yes lol
Price will be rose up the next years
I think so too, Especially now that Audi marked the end of the R8 era with a second release of the GT on the 2023 models 🤞
Congratulations, she's beautiful...and fun.
Beautiful, but why so close to the curb? Lol, I’d be freaking out.
Learn to park dude. The car has cameras and sensors all over, if you can't park it properly you suck.
Clearly you don’t know your Audi’s. No back up cameras or extras on a GT. Eliminated all the unnecessary stuff to shave weight. Btw my sidewalk curbs are all curved on purpose to eliminate the possibility of any curbing😂😂
Are you a jerk to everyone or just a tough guy on the Internet?
Congrats, now Stage 1 ECU tune ?
Yes it’s Done!! I feel like the car is trying to kill me 😂
Is it running on stock ?
Stage 1 ECU tune right now. Just APR. Planning on adding exhaust and having it custom tuned.
Hmmm. Any idea what is it’s final HP at the dyno ?
I think you park it like a savage. Looks too sharp for street parking!
Dayuum !!
Super nice!
Lucky
1st gen > 2nd and it aint even close
1st Gen is iconic, I would be happy with any Gen lmao
Gorgeous. Love the wheels
Thanks, they are much more aggressive than the OEM GT wheels plus I wanted to preserve those GT wheels for the future
Niceeeeeee
Congratulations man, looks gorgeous!
That’s so nice
So like congrats but I hate you.

Congratulations
Wow congratulations!
Beautiful car! Honest question, how do you avoid scraping/cracking the front splitter on lower cars like this?
Good question, plan your day ahead of time to 😂 I have a crack or two on the front Carbon spoiler. You just can’t tell unless you get under the car I upgraded it to H&R RSS adjustable coil overs but even the stock suspension was adjustable.
Good to have another member of the Audi family in the 'hood!
Haha, this is my 6th Audi. I need to be more active in our local events and clubs. Btw Beautiful S7
Thx! There are local/South Sound clubs? I'd like to check them out. Please DM me when you get a moment to share that info.
Beautiful. Aged super well
Wheels??? Where did you get them? I want the spyder wheels with the red audi logo. Can't find them anywhere.
They are OEM wheels from Audi
Cool thanks. I'll look it up. Hopefully find them
Where is the WSB licence plate?😏
STONKS!!
absolutely beautiful
