FOR SALE. 2013 AUDI R8 LMS ULTRA GT3

An interesting and unique opportunity to own an ex-works Audi R8 LMS Ultra — and here's why.

This Audi R8 LMS Ultra was factory-built in 2013 to compete in the 60th Macau Grand Prix, delivered new to Audi Hong Kong as part of Audi’s works satellite programme.

Following its initial race season, the Ultra upgrade components were removed to allow the car to compete under standard Le Mans Series GT3 regulations. As presented today, the car sits in standard Audi R8 LMS specification, with the original Ultra components removed.

This creates a rare opportunity to acquire a factory-built Ultra chassis at entry-level GT3 pricing, with flexibility to:

• Compete as-is in GT3B and historic GT3 categories

• Refit Ultra components if regulations and programme require

As such, the car offers lower initial cost exposure with strong long-term value potential.

About the Audi R8 LMS Ultra GT3.

The Audi R8 LMS marked a turning point in customer GT racing. Based on the production R8 supercar, the GT3 version was developed by Audi Sport Customer Racing to deliver a highly competitive, low-maintenance, turn-key race car for privateer teams worldwide.

With its mid-mounted 5.2-litre V10 engine, six-speed sequential gearbox and aluminium spaceframe chassis, the R8 LMS quickly proved dominant across global GT3 championships. Audi Sport’s ongoing commitment to customer racing continues to set benchmarks within the category.

The Ultra evolution, introduced for the 2012 season, was designed to return Audi to the top step of the podium. Key Ultra upgrades included:

• Wider front wheels

• Revised front aerodynamics including wheel arch surfaces and splitter

• Larger rear wing

• Improved brake and driver cooling

About this particular car.

Chassis No. 130531 was built to the final Evo 3 Ultra specification (Spec. No. GT3-017 MJ2011) and delivered new by Audi Sport in 2013.

Audi Sport Germany records confirm the car returned to the factory repair department in June 2013 for repairs to the upper and lower longitudinal members, with documentation included in the history file.

The file also records this car’s race history, including competition during the 2013 season.

Key points:

• Fuel cell, belts, carbon seat and driver nets in date for the 2026 season

• Factory-built Ultra chassis with documented Audi Sport provenance

• Competitive specification aligned with emerging historic GT3 regulations

With GT3 cars now making a significant transition into historic motorsport, Chassis No. 130531 represents a highly compelling entry point into a rapidly expanding international calendar.

Recent results for Audi R8 LMS GT3 cars — including victories as recently as October 2025 at Spa — continue to demonstrate that the Ultra remains the car to have in historic GT3 competition.

Where can this car race in 2026?

The outlook for pre-2015 GT3 cars is exceptionally strong.

• 2025 saw the launch of a new UK-based historic GT3 championship under Motor Racing Legends

• Peter Auto has confirmed GT3 eligibility at the Le Mans Classic

• A new European historic GT3 series is scheduled to launch in 2026

This car is eligible for all of the above, offering a competitive and reliable platform across multiple prestigious events.
