Dude, it's not a drag car.
Here is a picture:  http://9e.net/mg/pv0006.jpg
It's from the June 2000 issue of Performance VW magazine.
I personally think this car is sick!  Just imagine riding around in this
monster (4wd + 900hp).  I would hope this would be a good enough match-up with
a Viper or Porsche.  I'll have to check out the issue again when I get home to
see if they ever posted any numbers.

BTW...  When in the hell would you ever see an Audi R8R on the streets, driving
around with a group of other "sports cars"?  The Audi R8 class race car is
irrelevant to this discussion.
