Acrobat, thanks a lot!
I dug out my German and can report that they reported extensively about the weight savings (engine cover, optional bucket seats, sound proofing), the improved handling (sharper turn-in but more understeer through the corners) and improved acceleration due to 35 addtional hp. The car is obviously not as radical as GT2 RS or Superleggera, still featuring A/C and radio and a less prominent exhaust note than the counterpart from Lamborghini. The car weights 80 kg less than the R8 V10 but costs more than 200 thousand Euros in featured spec.
Audi predicts a laptime below 7:30 min for the Nordschleife.
