| Facelifted Audi R8 |
The Audi R8 LMS ultra has been a formidable force in international GT
racing. The Audi R8 road car has recently received a facelift which included
subtle and tasteful visual updates. The most notable updates include the front
and rear lights, as well as some small bodywork changes. Ever since the introduction
of the facelift there has been speculation of the possibility of facelift
updates for current and new Audi R8 LMS ultra race cars. The new INR8 website
even developed a few renders of what a new facelifted Audi R8 LMS ultra could
look like, you can see that HERE.
Despite all of the speculation a facelifted R8 LMS ultra has emerged.
The car is a normal Audi R8 LMS ultra which has been fitted with the new front
and rear lights. It may not be a true facelift, but it does give us another
glimpse of what a facelifted R8 LMS ultra would look like, and it looks brilliant. The car was at the
Audi R8 Facelift Press days held at the Misano Circuit in Italy during October.
Thanks to bigblogg for the photos from Italy.
