Yes, these are excellent, value for money models with fine engine detail. I
have both the early and the late version (either '99 and '00 or '99 and
'01, I'm away from home right now and can't check) and they're absolutely
gorgeous.
I wish they'd do a 1:18 R8C also, as the low, enclosed version is even more
brutal IMO. I do have a 1:10 R8C as an R/C model, but it's just not the
same. :-)

I vote for more large-scale Audi models!
