2009 Audi R8 Shooting Brake

Audi has been known for its wagon models since the original RS4. Indeed, it would be fair to anoint Audi as the true force behind of European luxury performance vehicles with subtle body-shells. The wagon - once the symbol of family burden and practicality's importance over power - can now breathe fire.
But what of Audi's flagship performance model. Largely based on the Lamborghini Gallardo's platform, we thought it suitable to inject some original Audi flavour into the R8 supercar.

that looks brilliant, well done. though I'd prefer the side-window to look more gallardoish. ie. taper upwards. and those two spaces at the bottom of the rear spoiler could do with 2 sets of twin-pipes - like Holden's Coupe60, but on the back; the shape is almost perfect. nice chop.

Great design! Much better looking than the standard R8.

It should have RX-8 style rear suicide doors instead of the sideblade.
By the way, what's up with that C-Pillar???
