You’re looking at probably the last hurray for an ICE-powered customer-owned Audi race car. This latest project will be a small series of around 100 vehicles of a road-legal Audi R8 GT3 – and it’s likely pretty necessary for Audi to get that car ready in order to homologize the model as a base for several race series for the years to come.

The Scherer Sport team involved in the project already works successfully with Audi Sport since many years. Performance optimisation and customisation are also part of Scherer Sport’s tasks for production vehicles. The prototype snapped by our spies today was tested by Audi racing driver Frank Stippler on the Nürburgring race track. The Audi R8 GT3 developed by Scherer Sport has the original V10-engine and the standard R8’s floorpan. All the rest, however, comes from motorsport and was derived from the Audi R8 GT3 Evo 2. As visible in these shots from the rainy Nordschleife, the car’s roof shape has nothing to do with the production car. As a reminiscent to racing, the wheels come with central locking, and many parts such as the brakes, the aerodynamics, the interior, the rear spoiler, the air intakes as well as the performance of the car were developed only for this limited-edition model. The 100 examples built will go on sale in 2024 – but might well be reserved by wealthy enthusiasts yet now.
