Variants
The announcement of this car was no real surprise. The predecessor model of the same name was widely represented in both GT series worldwide and the Carrera range, so the implementation of the successor is only logical. Initially, two "Audi Sport" versions have been announced for 2016: this one in silver and another in red.
Optics/Body:
The basic shape of the body is still unmistakably an Audi R8, but the details have become significantly more striking and angular. The model impresses with its accurate reproduction of the original; the rims with their suggested brake discs and the headlights are particularly rich in detail. The same applies to the paint job, although the silver-black color scheme seems a bit underwhelming to me personally.
Technology/Body:
The chassis is also a new design compared to the previous model, but retains all the familiar features: the E200 engine, two removable magnets, a digital circuit board, and SMD lighting. The front axle is rigid, but due to the solid and extensive construction, the model is by no means lightweight.
Driving test:
The flat and wide basic shape and the comparatively high weight result in a relatively plush and neutral handling. The Lamborghini Huracan GT3 is a good comparison car. My DTM cars achieve slightly better lap times, but that shouldn't stand in the way of the little R8's future success.
