The Gran Turismo film may not have been a box office hit but it was entertaining to watch and featured heaps of on-track action. Now one of the cars used in the film has appeared for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

This Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo was not one of the film’s most important cars but was featured in a selection of racing scenes alongside numerous other GT3 race cars, including Lamborghini Huracans, Nissan GT-Rs, Chevy Corvettes, Ford GTs, and others. In the film, it was finished in white with a selection of green, orange, red, and grey accents, although those colorful elements have now been removed.

A listing on Facebook Marketplace for the car notes that it is located near San Marcos, Texas, with an asking price of $249,000. The seller notes that it is not street-legal and was recently inspected by a local race car service center.

Just three photos of the car in its current state have been provided. It doesn’t appear to have sustained any noticeable damage during filming and could make for the ultimate track toy. Being a legitimate GT3 race car, the cabin is stripped out and doesn’t feature much other than a racing seat, plenty of carbon fiber, and a removable steering wheel.

Audi introduced the R8 LMS GT3 Evo back in 2018. It has the same 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 as the road-going R8 but balance of performance rules means it has been limited to 500 hp. It also comes adorned with a plethora of dramatic aerodynamic components, including the massive rear wing, a redesigned front fascia with a pronounced lip and canards, and widened bodywork.
