For its first attempt at winning Le Mans Audi doubled the stakes by entering two "closed" LM GTP prototypes next to the Joest run "open topped" R8R's.

Normally a Tony Southgate design combined with German technology should have been on par with the open topped spyders, even if they had to run with narrower tyres and smaller restrictors.
The slippery coupe's traded less downforce for a higher top speed and possibly a better fuel economy, which matters in a 24hr race on the long straights oft La Sarthe.

Slot conversion remarks
Resin body. meaning heavy, so take out your Dremel, and after that..reinforce with GFK.
But is also available as a GFK Slot kit VMC020 so look for that one, less detail parts though but not much less.
Narrow and Low back end means modifications to fit sidewinder spur gear and Ikarachi type Motors.
