When Audi unveiled the R8 GT in 2011, it was the ultimate expression of their mid-engined supercar, a lighter, more powerful, and more focused variant designed to push the R8's already impressive performance envelope. Limited to just 333 units worldwide, with only 100 allocated to the U.S. market, the GT shed 121 pounds through extensive use of carbon fiber and featured a boosted 5.2-liter V10, now producing 560 horsepower. While all R8 GTs left the factory exclusively with the R-tronic automated manual transmission, the allure of a gated manual shifter in such a visceral machine has always resonated deeply with enthusiasts, representing a purer, more engaging connection to the driving experience that harkens back to the golden age of supercars. This 2012 Audi R8 GT, chassis number 261 of 333, stands as a truly exceptional example, having undergone a meticulous and highly sought-after gated manual conversion. Showing a mere 5,450 miles on the odometer, this particular GT is one of just ten finished in the striking Samoa Orange, making its visual presence as rare as its mechanical specification. The conversion, performed by the renowned "Third Pedal" in Tennessee, involved the installation of an OEM short gear ratio first-generation R8 open-gate manual transmission, which was then subjected to a comprehensive reconditioning process including tooth re-profiling, deburring, and micropolishing for flawless operation. This R8 GT represents a singular opportunity to acquire a legendary Audi supercar, elevated to an even higher plane of driver engagement and exclusivity.
