Ach, mine Audi R8 ist kaput!

That's one tough car, and stuff like this makes for great "free" advertising.

That is one tough car.

It's cool that they spent money to destroy it over and over again.

+1

although if someone gets in a crash in an R8, i think it is best for the roof to be able to be cut open easily with jaws of life

Audi sponsored the movie . That's why there were so many audi cars.

100k is the base price. There is now ~7k option for full LED low/highbeams with better output than the original headlamps
