Audi R8 Spyder by ABT photos

If a road going Audi R8 race car isn’t enough, German ‘go fast’ car company ABT, have just released one of the world’s ultimate performance drop tops, the ABT R8 Spyder.

Powered by a 5.2 litre V10 which producers 441 kW (600 HP), the Spyder can clock the 0-100km/h sprint in just 3.8 seconds, while top speed is 320km/h – fast, yes.

But ABT cars are not only quick they can out handle almost any other sports car on the planet.

Specially tuned ABT springs ensure much higher cornering thresholds than any open top has a right to.

And just like the R8 GT-R, the Spyder has its fair share of carbon fibre components, which minimises the overall weight of the car.

This particular car shown also has the optional ABT CR Superlight alloys, which add to its aggressive stance.
