Matchbox Monday: 2020 #029/100 Audi R8

 

From the 2020 series, the Audi R8 is part of the MBX City subseries.


I believe this based off the 2007 model of the Audi R8. Based on the LeMans Quattro concept, this Audi is set to compete with the likes of Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini. Equipped with a 5.0-litre V10 engine capable of producing 450 horsepower, the R8 can go 0-62 in 4.60 seconds.

This supercar comes in dark gray. Paint apps can be found on the head lights and grill along with the rear tail lights and license plate. The windshield and rear window are cast in a clear plastic blue, notice the side windows are down. The trimmed interior is cast in black plastic. The wheels feature 10 spokes and are painted black, the tires have a thin silver chrome lining. While I'm not that familiar with Audi in general, or this model I have to say this is a beautiful vehicle. I'm on the fence of whether this one has a place in my collection or not.

This casting debuted in 2007 and this release is the 12th use of this mold.
