After give the model collectors a fantastic model like the Audi R8 (especially the red variant), it is preparing an other great model which is all set to fire the collector’s display cases. This news was unveiled in it website and the pictures below for the website does all the justice. Color variants are not so clear but we are for sure it is going to available in this sexy silver! Quality and fit & finish seems very upmarket going through the pictures but we have to wait for final production version to give a verdict on… Pricing should be matching the on going R8 from Maisto unless they decides to trough in some extra details and bump the price. If you in the market Audi R8 GT this is the best bet as the other manufacture Sparks Model’s 1:18 variant costs a bomb!

As per my initial research it is available in white and sliver at $27.99/- (source: http://www.diecast-toys.com/allproducts.php?p_cat_id=13)
Looking forward to this model, i was going to go for the white version but these pics in silver look great!
I too would go for white if the detailing is good on that color or else this silver is one sure shot winner.
Yeah think i will hold out for the white version, any idea when it’s out in the UK i see a few ebay seller’s in the US have them already.
Nice site you have here too Asaran 🙂
Love this version of R8 from Maisto… Cant wait to get it …. Thanks for the update Saran \m/
Me too… But I am more focused on some premium brand making this beauty (Kyosho of AA) stay tuned for that news as well…
I want one …
Love the Looks !
Feels the real soul of Audi . YEah !
I have this model,, great model from Maito.
The average quality and details are very apparent here but it is definitely very good value for people on a budget. But I rather work harder and buy one from Kyosho when they make it. Kyosho diecast are extremely detailed, they even uses real metal disc for their brakes on certain models!
I am with you on this… But this is a great model to have till the Kyosho come out with one… My friend has this model which can be viewed here http://www.scalemodelcarz.com/enter/thread-1262.html
