Audi's wild, winged R8 heads for the track, and for public consumption.

All shall return from whence it came: ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and race cars to race cars. Audi first affixed the R8 nameplate to a race car and used that car to dominate the 24 Hours of Le Mans early this century, with outright wins in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005. Then the R8 came to showrooms as a sexy, curvaceous, mid-engine exotic with which Audi unseated the Porsche 911 Turbo in its first comparison test. Now, the production version of the R8 is headed back to the track, intent on expanding the R8's dominion into the GT3 class of endurance racing.
