MTM Audi R8 GT3-2: 560 horsepower and rear-wheel drive

German tuning company MTM doesn�t necessarily do things the conventional way. Remember the Bimoto, the twin-engined Audi TT that could hit 244 mph? Yeah, different. That�s why we weren�t surprised to see this modified Audi R8 come across our desks. MTM has done some conventional tuning with the car � like supercharging the 4.2-liter V8 � but it�s also performed a procedure we�ve yet to see. The front-wheel drive portion of the Quattro system has been removed, making the car a pure rear-driver. According to MTM, this change provides a "complete new driving experience behind the Audi steering wheel and pure driving pleasure."

To share this experience with their customers, MTM is now offering a GT3-2 conversion for any V8-powered Audi R8. The package includes the aforementioned supercharger system, which is good for 560 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, carbon fiber aero parts, larger front and rear brakes, adjustable Bilstein suspension, MTM�s unique Bimoto forged wheels and more
