Audi recently announced a limited edition run of 50 Audi R8 Green Hell models. The special edition pays tribute to the Audi R8 LMS and its 5 victories in the 24 Hours on the Nürburgring.

The 24 Hours on the Nürburgring takes place this weekend. Clearly, Audi agree that it is one of the best endurance events. The Audi R8 Green Hell pays tribute in a unique way.

The release colour, the only standard paint scheme, is dark Tioman green. Customers have the option, of ibis white, Daytona gray or mythos black if they prefer something different.

The front hood, A-pillars, roof and rear end are covered partially in matt black foil while the doors get the edition number in large transparent matt figures. They are designed to resemble the 24 Hour starting number.

Green Hell R8 logos are plastered onto the side blade and the windshield. A matt black styling package adds highlights to the front end, sills and diffuser.

The 20-inch wheels are also painted matt black with red details. Inside, the driver sits on lightweight bucket seats with center panels upholstered in Alcantara.

Red accents are carried across the steering wheel rim, the dash, on the door armrests, knee pads and on the center armrest. Blue-green “Kailash fern” stitching contrasts.
