It does look hot. unfortunately, like every prototype/concept, they will fuck with it, tame it down, and ruin it for the general public. ---

If I were the director of Audi Motorsport I’d be throwing a SHIT FIT about that car being named the R8, a disgrace to the name. Should’ve been called the R9 or RS8. Not surprised to see they dumped the V10 TT and all the LED lights. I suspect we’ll see a V6, V8 and V8TT versions. ---
