closed top audi for 2011

The new audi is to be a closed top. Other ideas are 4 rear tyres.
Seems a bit pointless but they must have a reason.

Looks pretty good.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

New Audi R18 has a lid as expected, but did not expect it to be quite so ugly. Didn't know it would be possible to out-ugly the Pugs.

Even I can see it looks nothing like the Bentley - unless the Bentley ate all the pies!

I don't dislike it tho - looks kinda mean - I wouldn't want to see it come up in my rear view mirror.

More comparrisons here

http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/lemans-inside-the-audi-r18/

And just reading the 4th page on Serviceability

'The R18 is also said to demand more from its pit crew with four big, heavy wheels and tires. Studies—supposedly done by Audi Sport’s sports doctors—determined that with the R18’s tire changers now required to remove and reinstall items that weigh 23 kilos (50 pounds) each in the same time they were able to change the tow big/two small tires on the R15s, the tire changers will need to add between six and eight kilos of muscle mass.'


Thats definitley the far end of a fart or from a womens perspective,  hunky tyre changers.  ;D ;D
