MTM R8 GT3-2 R-tronic - The most interesting car in the test. The engine: V8 with supercharger, which produces 560 hp and 580 Nm. Straightline performance: the Launch Control is hard on the clutch (only 3 launches are allowed, than you have to wait 'til it cools down), 0-100 km/h is 4,3 s (same as the standard R8 with R-tronic). Topspeed is 295 km/h - with the original bodykit 317 km/h is possible. Handling: the testcar was a pre-production one, as they say: "it isn't brilliant yet, but quite a fun to drive". On the Sachsenring the car was 0.9 seconds faster than the R8 V10 R-tronic. And it will be faster...

Thanks Eric for the details.
I would have expected a much better 0-200... surprising IMO
