The race-spec motor’s displacement drops to 4.0 liters but it delivers a hefty 530 horsepower and 353 lb-ft of torque. The R8’s stock front and rear bodywork is replaced by new, widebody carbon kevlar panels. Those outboard intakes in the nose are replaced by blanks, and out back, the custom exhaust’s dual outlets poke through the spot where the license plate would reside on the production car.

The entire package weighs in at just 2,755 pounds.
