The original 1:18 scale Maisto made Audi R8 GT was release a way back in 2011! But I was not so much interested in that model though Audi R8 always had a high place in my heart! But then every time I visit model car shops I get this glimpse of Audi R8 both in regular and also in GT variant but the finish and desire to own a Kyosho made Audi R8 supressed my desire to get an Audi R8! All of that changed when I recently visited Modelart, Bangalore and they had nothing new for me… But my heart said “look look you might miss something really important” and finally found this beautiful Audi in matte black.
