Desire- Posted November 24, 2023 Posted November 24, 2023 ABT has announced a new version of its R8 LMS GT2 and it’s absolutely ludicrous. It's called the ‘XGT’, it's restricted to 99 units, and almost hilariously it's road-legal. So, while it gets substantially less boot space than, say, a regular R8, it does get that car's really rather substantial V10, here sending 640bhp to the rear wheels through a seven-speed transmission. A set of forged alloys are wrapped in road-going Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tyres, too. Weight comes in at around 1,400kg - less than an Audi RS3 - and it's equipped with dual-adjustable suspension and modified springs, which means owners have more wiggle room setting it up for the Ikea run. The XGT's top speed depends on the car's rear wing setting, but ABT quotes a maximum of 192mph. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/ps520k-abt-xgt-audi-r8-racecar-road
