It's not that we don't love the RS3, we do; it's just that, watching an R8 "give birth" to it in such an explicit way is really weird. Hard to believe somebody actually came up with this during a board meeting.
What we have here is basically a facelifted first generation Audi R8, struggling to give birth (slowly) to what is, at first, a gooey red RS3.
Again, we like the RS3, we even showed you a great looking Nardo Grey one yesterday, but this was more about recreating a scene from Aliens, than it was about showcasing it's 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time or 367 HP power output.
Obviously we understand what Audi meant to do when they came up with this, we get the general idea, but maybe they should have tried to make it less creepy. How about going all Transformers-like and create the RS3 out of the R8's engine or something like that? Just anything that doesn't involve turning our stomachs.
The one thing we do appreciate is the visuals...technically speaking. Audi did a great job bringing all this to life - no pun intended.
Though next time, we hope they come up with something different. And for a fun couple of minutes, feel free to browse through the video's comment section.
