Audi has unveiled its fastest ever road-going model with a top speed just shy of 200mph.

The Audi R8 GT, which has an aluminium frame weighing just 210kg, is capable of 199mph, but UK buyers will need to be even quicker to get their hands on one as just 33 will be going on sale in this country.

A direct injection V10 petrol engine delivers 540Nm of torque peak at 6,500rpm, with max revs of 8,700rpm, enabling the vehicle to go from a standstill to 124mph in an astonishing 10.8 seconds.

Power windows, automatic climate control and a navigation system with MMI operating logic are fitted as standard as is a ten-channel Bang & Olufsen sound system for in car entertainment.

Available to order in the summer, the on-the-road price is an eye-watering £142,585.

The German manufacturer recently announced changes to its Q7 range, which will now come with a new transmission and improved economy.
