Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3 (AEVO2)

A mainstay of GT3 events around the world for much of the past decade, Audi's R8 LMS received its second upgrade for the 2022 racing season with the introduction of the R8 LMS Evo II. Like its predecessor, the Evo I, the Evo II can either be bought new or as an upgrade kit for a previous generation model. Major improvements to the car included a new aerodynamics package that generated more downforce with the rear wing, a new engine intake system, and four-way adjustable dampers in the suspension.

The R8 LMS Evo II showed its pace quickly in its first season, continuing a long line of successes for R8 LMS GT3 entries around the world. Highlights included three of the four fastest laps in qualifying for the Bathurst 12 Hour and continuing the brand’s long record of success in DTM by earning the 2022 manufacturer’s title with three race wins. The car remained ubiquitous toward the front of the pack in both sprint and endurance GT3 series around the world for the 2023 season.
