Do you wanna race? Sweet Audi R8 LMS




This Audi R8 LMS is a beast with its 10-cylinder 500 hp motor & its no wonder they put those headlights on a majority of their consumer vehicles. Had to include the pic with it getting some air during one of the races. Great work on the styling and that is one mean front end!
