The Fascination of the Audi R8 GT in Miniature
The model car shown here is a 1/18 scale replica of the Audi R8 GT, produced and faithfully recreated by Maisto. For die-hard model car collectors, this 1/18 scale car offers an impressive opportunity to have a piece of automotive history on their shelf. The original Audi R8 GT comes from the first generation and was produced from 2011 to 2013. With a limited run of only 333 units, the Audi R8 GT is considered a special vehicle in the Audi sports car lineup. The model car is made from diecast material, ensuring durability and longevity, while also replicating the fine details and textures of the original.
Technical Specifications and Highlights of the Audi R8 GT
The Audi R8 GT is a high-performance vehicle based on the regular Audi R8 and considered its sibling model. Powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine, the car delivers 560 horsepower and 540 Nm (398 ft-lb) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph). The engineering behind this vehicle is impressive – it was developed by a talented team led by chief designer Walter de Silva. The construction was overseen by Ulrich Hackenberg. The Audi R8 GT also features extensive use of lightweight materials, particularly carbon fiber, making it about 100 kilograms (220 pounds) lighter than the standard model.
Details of the Miniature Model
The Maisto model in 1/18 scale impresses with its precision and attention to detail. The white paint scheme of the model with black accents on the side sills and rear wing reflects the design of the original Audi R8 GT. The carbon fiber-based parts on the sides of the car and the rear spoiler are also striking. The red-painted brake calipers visible behind the multi-spoke wheels emphasize the sportiness of this model. The red "GT" badge on the fenders highlights the unique status of this model within the Audi R8 series. Made from diecast material, this miniature model is particularly durable and offers high-detail accuracy.
