GT3: SPORTS CAR FACTORY FOR RACING AND THE ROAD

Born on the track. Built for the road: Audi Sport carries the genes from motorsport to the road, and no other model embodies this idea as consistently as the Audi R8. The Audi R8 V10 plus is the strongest and fastest production Audi ever. Its development was characterised by a close cooperation between racing engineers, racers and engineers from the Technical Development Department. The production model and racing car share a common basis.

The close connection between the two models starts with the design and ends with the production. The Audi R8 is produced in a production site specifically built for the sports car – the Böllinger Höfe in Heilbronn. In 2011, Audi acquired a 23-hectare site in the industrial park in Heilbronn and opened its logistics centre and the R8 production facility there in 2014.

Although the mix of materials in the racing car is more complex, Audi has integrated manufacture of production and racing cars even more closely with the second generation of the R8. In the Böllinger Höfe production facility, Audi Sport GmbH manufactures the chassis of both variants together. Though the racing car receives, for example, adapted aluminium cast nodes and a steel roll cage. For the assembly of such motorsport components, the racing chassis is removed from the production line and then reintroduced again. Nevertheless, the racing chassis of the R8 LMS remains integrated into basic production process up to the construction of the roof and the cathodic dip coating (KTL), which is a kind of primer. Then the racing cars are completed in Heilbronn-Biberach.

    * The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determind according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regards as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.
     

    We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering.

    They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.
