This replica is featured in the collection of Modelly member "Rene1612" and is a must-have for any model car collector.
Technical Marvel in 1/18 Scale
The original Audi R8 4.2 is equipped with a 4.2-liter V8 engine that delivers 309 kW (420 hp) of power and was developed in collaboration with Ulrich Hackenberg, the former technical director of Audi. With a maximum torque of 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) and all-wheel drive, the R8 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds. The R8's chassis is based on the Audi Space Frame, a lightweight aluminum construction, which is also clearly visible in Kyosho's miniature. The original wheels of the Audi R8 are accurately replicated in this miniature and stand out with their authentic design. The paint job of the miniature reflects the style of the original with a white main color and contrasting black side inserts, creating a sophisticated look.
Precise Diecast Replication
This high-quality 1/18 miniature by Kyosho is made of diecast material, known for its durability and good level of detail. The movable parts of the miniature, such as the doors, front trunk lid, and rear engine compartment lid, are finely crafted and reflect the flexibility of the original. The wheel design, inspired by the Audi Original wheels, is particularly noteworthy. This level of detail is complemented by the lovingly designed lights and ventilation slits, which give the model car a realistic look. According to model owner "Rene1612", this miniature is a valuable collector's item that should not be missing in any display case.
Original's Design and Aesthetics
The Audi R8 4.2, on which this model is based, was introduced in 2006 and impressed with its aesthetic yet functional design. The original design was created by Frank Lamberty, whose influence is clearly visible here. The sharp lines, elegant shape, and distinctive side sills have been faithfully recreated in this miniature. The paint job shines in a glossy white, complemented by matte black body elements, giving the model a stylish and authentic appearance. The manufacturer's Audi logo is clearly and precisely visible on the grille and rear. This miniature is not only a testament to engineering prowess but also a work of art in itself, standing out as a highlight in any model car collection.
