Ach, mine Audi R8 ist kaput!

That's one tough car, and stuff like this makes for great "free" advertising.

That is one tough car.

It's cool that they spent money to destroy it over and over again.

100k is the base price. There is now ~7k option for full LED low/highbeams with better output than the original headlamps
