Audi tuning specialist ABT Sportsline has updated its GTR aftermarket program for the Audi R8 GT in time for a reveal at next week's Geneva Motor Show. First on the agenda was shaving weight off the supercar. This was achieved by fitting a new carbon-fiber aero kit including a new hood, front and rear aprons, new side skirts and a rear wing, resulting in a curb weight trimmed by 110 kg down to 1,515 kg. Other exterior mods include a set of 19-inch alloys, a stainless-steel exhaust, and an adjustable coilover sports suspension.

Under the hood, ABT tweaked the 5.2-liter V10 FSI engine, increasing output from 550 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque to 620 hp and 405 lb-ft. The result is an improved 0-62 mph time of 3.2 seconds and a new top speed of 202 mph.
