notice the flares in front of the wheels. front race splitter. the wheels look like 20's. rollcage. different spoiler. also- not seen is the IN license plate.

is this:

A. rumored RWD only "last farewell" model for 2013? maybe it'll be a track only model (front splitter).

B. test mule for next gen R8?

I think I read somewhere the famous audi "Sport" "brand" will return, as in "Sport quattro". So this would make it an R8 GT Sport. This is however, pure speculation from my head... :)

RWD setup R8 like LP550-2 I guess.....whatever the name is.

if audi makes a rwd version i will be very surprised personally. it'll reflect the thinking at audi HQ and reflect a major change in the future of audi.

imagine. bmw makes an awd M5 and audi starts making rwd cars.

I think it is just a "riced-out" R8 plain an simple. Fast & Furious 6 goes to Germany!!!
