What everyday drivers really want is a car with all the flash and raw sensation of pounding around Circuit de la Sarthe, but with all the comfort they have come to expect in their family transport.

Did ABT-Sportsline one up their friends from Ingolstadt with their Audi R8 GT-R? MotorTrend thinks so and we may agree.

All that, tons of carbon, Alcantara interior and more can be your’s for only $417,000.
