Sorry if it's a repost


Edit: Am I right that's is somewhere in the Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur and who's the driver?

 

[Lemantech]

holy crap....this audi kicks a**. Just imagine this against a Enzo or something. Not saying its in the same league but just compare.....best audi by far.

How about a street version of this beast?

Haha too bad I don't think anything even resembling a prototype class car could be road legal. I remember seeing pictures of the 3.6 V8 FSI biturbo from the R8 on a stand at different auto shows; the engine even looks amazing.
*Edit: Here's a pic although the engine isn't all prettied up for a showcase.

If you see when they take off the nose of the R8, the architechture almost looks like a Formula car as opposed to a real street car style structure like the things that race in the GT2 class and things of that sort.

That video is crazy though.

No that is not a Audi R8 but Alain Castellana with a "Norma M20".

Oh my gawd, the violence (and sound) of it all! No wonder Audi is so fierce in so many areas of motorsports.

Damn crazy vid.. and car.. are these cars faster than F1 car?

 

[Lemantech]

well F1 cars have like 800 hp and weigh 1360 lbs with driver....but they only have about 200-300 ft-lb of torque...

 

[siko]

Dunno what's crazier... the car's performance or the driver for taking a pin with such a car on a road like that !!

 

[audi_rudy]
