Default New BMW 850?
I hope not a repost.








Fresh from the "what were they thinking" department, an Audi R8 has been photographed (or photoshopped) wearing BMW badges.

The Russian-owned R8 has been completely stripped of all Audi logos. Redubbed the BMW 850i, the car has BMW badges on the hood, engine cover, and rear fascia. While we aren't sure what to make of this, it's clearly odd to say the least. On the bright side, it's a real R8 instead of a creepy replica based on a Mercury Cougar.

I seriously hope it is a prank on a friend. I would laugh for a while if my friends did that, simply because I now I could put it back, but to do it yourself is pathetic.

I'm sure that's just Audi preparing the car for the next C&D comparison test

LOL, why would anyone do that ? That's just sad, and I think the R8 is better than anything currently available from BMW too ...
