Ingolstadt – For the first time, Audi Sport will offer a racing sports car specifically developed for customer use in the form of the powerful 500 hp plus GT3 version of the Audi R8 which will be available from autumn 2009. The logistics and factory space required for the AUDI AG customer programme will be created over the next few months in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm and Györ.

Re: R8 GT3: Audi Develops Race Version of the R8
Hope it races in ALMS next year, that is where it is all happening. GT3 vs M3 vs F430 vs R8.
