Review by CoMod long on the Carrera DIGITAL 132/Evolution Audi R8 GT LMS United Autosports, No. 23 (Art. No. 30569/27365)
The Audi R8 LMS of the British-American team United Autosports looks great just to look at; this is what real Super GTs should look like!
Optics:
The truly superb attention to detail is immediately noticeable in both vehicles. The wheels fit perfectly and faithfully in the wheel arches, and the color scheme suits the R8 very well!
Technology:
The axle play, or trueness, of the axles is as desired in the test versions. There's obviously a bit more space in the Evolution than in the DIGITAL 132 due to the missing light unit, but it should be noted that the look is much better with the lights. The front-mounted rudder section features the new, significantly increased swivel range, which naturally has a very positive effect on the handling – a true racer, in fact.
Processing:
The paintwork and printing are very good, and the two test versions show no other defects. The axles turn smoothly and easily, and the tires offer sufficient grip, regardless of which setup you choose.
Driving behavior:
In terms of handling, you get what you expect and desire: a GT-class super sports car that can always be driven at its limits, regardless of the setup or speed. Top marks, including a star, from me!
Conclusion:
It was about the 132 Audi R8 LMS, but as a fan of the 124s, I would like to mention that these vehicles in 1:24 are now more than overdue#1

Test report from CoMod JoergW on the Carrera DIGITAL 132 Audi R8 GT LMS Phoenix-Racing, ADAC GT Masters 2009, No.14 (Item No. 30570)
The new model of the Audi R8 LMS is the car of the Phoenix Racing Team, as it was used in the 2009 ADAC GT Masters.
For just under 260,000 euros, the racing car, built on a series basis, is equipped with the internal
The R16 designation is almost a bargain for a car with GT3 regulations. The Carrera model, with its highly visible silver-black look, is cleanly painted and
assembled. Even with the decals and small add-on parts there is no reason for
Criticism. Only, on the left mirror of this model there is a little of the
yellow varnish not opaque.
Basically, the Audi has very good lighting, but
Unfortunately, the right rear light doesn't work on my model. The driving characteristics of the Audi R8 LMS are well known. I find the car very pleasant to drive, but it's not exactly the quietest.
See you then, CoMod joergW
