That is unreal. So awesome. I've also seen vids of formula cars on the touge and it is insane. Those drivers are fearless.

Awesome video, though that isn't an Audi R8. If I remember correctly that was a hand built hillclimb car with a 400hp BMW V6.

is the r8 a diesel? cause the car in the vid def. isnt a diesel

It didn't start out as a diesel, but it currently is. Because of class rules the R8 isn't technically a single seater. It's a little larger and has a different shaped nose.



Ok found it.

That car is a Norma M20.

Epsilon Euskadi Concept


Lola Concept
