Description: This is a very rare print, 13/20 of the Audi Le Mans quattro car - which debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show, this car went on to go into production as the beautiful R8. The print is signed by the car's designers Frank Lamberty and Julian Hoenig. Only 20 of these were ever produced and I was lucky enough to be given one during my time with working for Audi. It is a really amazing piece of memorabilia for Audi enthusiasts. It comes in the original envelope from the Audi AG Head Office. The Audi Le Mans quattro was a sports car styled concept car , developed by Audi , for presentation at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show , as a result of Audi's three successive wins at the arduous 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance motor race in 2000, 2001, and 2002. It was the third and final concept car designed by Audi in 2003, following the Pikes Peak quattro and Nuvolari quattro . Audi subsidiary quattro GmbH subsequently decided to produce the Audi Le Mans quattro as a production road car, calling it the Audi R8 , naming it after their very successful Audi R8 LMP race car , which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times. In 2005, Audi announced that the name of the successful Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007, the Audi R8, based on the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car (designed by Frank Lamberty and Julian Hoenig), appearing at the 2003 International Geneva Motor Show , and 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show . The R8 development program began in 2004, Lamberty's design being approved and frozen for production. Production body prototypes began field testing in January 2006. The R8 road car was officially launched at the Paris Auto Show on 30 September 2006. There was some confusion with the name, which the car shares with the 24 Hours of Le Mans winning R8 Le Mans Prototype (LMP). 6-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx described the R8 as "the best handling road car today". The print is in perfect condition and comes with the original Audi AG envelope.
