Audi R8 LMS GT4 will race its way into your heart

If you've got a pile of money and dreams of becoming a race car driver, this one's for you.

The Audi R8 LMS GT4 will compete in GT4-series racing.

While GT3 commands professional drivers and crazy budgets, GT4 is for privateers that want to dip their toes into the pool.

It's believed to pack the same V10 as the road-legal R8, although power is down from 602 hp to a series-limited 495.

It'll compete against GT4 cars from Chevrolet, McLaren and others.

Approximately 60 percent of its parts are shared with the road car.

Audi unveiled the R8 LMS GT4 at the New York Auto Show.

Deliveries should start later this year.

So, if you have hopes of racing, or if you just want to do it for fun, GT4 is the way to go.

Pricing is not yet available, but suffice it to say, it won't exactly be cheap.
