\n

Today the Essen Motorshow opened its doors and we can now report on its many releases. At the forefront of these is Audi’s new GT3 contender called the R8 LMS<\/a>. If it performs as successful as Audi’s recent prototypes, then the Matech-Ford GTs will finally have a challenger.<\/p>\n

Audi also took time to outline their upcoming R15 prototype<\/a>, one which we hope to see soon, or at least at the upcoming Sebring test days.<\/p>\n

9ff had a huge presence at Essen. For the first time they brought out the GT9R<\/a> and also launched a new Carrera GT called the GTT 900<\/a>. Close by was a 9ff GTurbo 150 and two very extreme Cayennes. Other tuners were present including TechArt with their GTstreet R<\/a>, Brabam Racing’s M3<\/a> and the PPI Razor Prototype<\/a>, probably the most radical Audi R8 extant.<\/p>\n

Another special display was reserved for supercars, both past and present. Combos like the 250 GTO\/Enzo, Muira\/Gallardo and MC12\/Ghibli were paired. Additionally a whole hall was reserved for classic car sales. All this and more can be viewed in our feature gallery<\/a> by Dirk de Jager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
