Re: Audi R8 V10 Testing on the Nurburgring?
I think it's great how Audi got trapped into creating such a nice "picture frame" for the license plates on their cars. I mean it's gotta be the most f'ed up "solution" to the problem. Especially when you realize there's little need for a BIG grille (air intake) in newer cars anymore.
Don't you just love how the inspiration for car styling used to come from mammals and now comes from insects?
Ooops..., sorry..., rant over.

This one of the most clueless post I've read in a long time.
The front of this car is is nothing more than form following function. The big grill is there, because, the V8/V10 revvs higher than 8000 rpm!! Do you understand the kind of heat that generates?
With dry sumped lubrication it needs to suck in all the air it can get, especially, when the engine is place in the back.

No problem if that's the factual situation for this car. There's no shortage of vents on the R8.
Lucky for Audi because they've put this ridiculous massive grille (or license plate frame) on all their cars.

"Clueless?"
No problem if that's the factual situation for this car. There's no shortage of vents on the R8. Odd though that the R8 grille (top picture) looks like there's a plastic piece blocking most of the "essential" air intake.
Anyway this is all lucky for Audi because they've put this ridiculously massive grille (or license plate frame) on all their cars (bottom pic).
