A "Typical," But Not So Typical Audi

May 15, 2007 · Posted in Uncategorized 

A technical look at the "expertise" and design of the mid-engine R8 sportscar by Audi. The voice behind the dialogue – PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! – seems part German spinmeister, part robin Leach. I'll leave you to decide the balance ratio.

What's particularly interesting is that in a segment of the video, computer generated images show how airflow is channeled underneath the body and then up into the engine bay towards the rear of the car. One wonders if rain and mud find the same way there, too (undoubtedly).

A cool video. Have a look.
