I first planned on nicknaming this car “the Edwin” after one of my best friends. The R18 LMP1 race car and Audi’s commercials featuring it have always inspired me. One in particular, that beautifully imagined what it would be like if people drove an R18 as an every day car as a brilliant way to show how Audi’s racing technology makes it into their production cars. That commercial has always stuck with me as the ultimate in imagination and dreams for a car fan. However, that nickname had to change because recently my hero died, so it has a new nickname “The Ali.” So, this car is about inspiration, and about inspiring others in the way that those commercials and Muhammad Ali inspired me. So this car, is my tribute to The Greatest of all time: Muhammad Ali and to Audi’s amazing R18 race car. A fitting tribute because Audi called this black R18 “black beauty” and Ali always said he was the prettiest.  Enjoy it, Be inspired by it. Rest in peace Champ!  “I’ve done wrestled with alligators, I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning—throw thunder in jail.” -Muhammad ali “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Rumble young man, Rumble.” -Muhammad Ali. Manuals Inluded: RS-LM Part List RS-LM Assembly Manual *Audi R18 Body Assembly Guide --please see files uploaded in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h25...
