I think they had another beautiful one in 1999:
I'd forgotten this one too.  There must be room for another couple of wings

This is Audi's last attractive racing car

AFAIK Tony Southgate designed it

Hi Werner,
               From Wiki:Unlike the R8R, for which Audi had turned to Dallara, they instead looked to Racing Technology Norfolk (RTN) to design and develop the new R8C. RTN assigned Peter Elleray the task, while Tony Southgate consulted on the project.
Merry Christmas
Phil

:o Jesus, just thinking about the nice prototypes they once built in Ingolstadt, remember the beautiful R8 Coupe? How f*cking ugly have these cars become nowadays. I'm afraid, even a first class paint job won't help much. >:(

"Attractive" is in the eye of the beholder.
