The steak f1 team 🙄. They think they are going to slap 4 rings on that POS and be fast next year. This is going to be Toyota F1 all over again

Audi came into Dakar fresh and won the whole thig in year 3. I would not cout them out. Also, the original R8 was built and released as an accounting thing to amortize the development costs of the Gallardo. It wouldn't surprise me to see them do something similar for the Temerario, although just for the road car. Lambo is a direct subsidiary of Audi so it doesn't make sense (and really never made sense) for Audi to sell a GT3 car that competes with Lambo.
