Among the design elements is an interesting interpretation of the trademark kidney grille and the visual contrasts between the metal body panels and the dark grey plastic surfaces of the front and rear fascias – mimicking an open mouth – and the roll bar area behind the seats.
The retractable rear wing is deployed at high aspeed and also serves as an air brake.

looooooool Audi R8
Sorry but this looks exactly like an r8 with some changes on the front and back…all the proportions are very similar. :S
yeah,you are right!
I like BMW but this one looks like R8
looks like R8
the shape of it does look like r8
It sure looks like an Audi R8. The most important feature in designing a car, is that we must respect the brand’s design cues, which, in my opinion, are not there!
there is no respect anymore in the brands everybody is copying each other, but its looks like a R8 proportions.
It’s an R8 with a Seat front bumper cut and a BMW grille… Design ?
my thoughts exactly… :/
There’s some weak designs coming from IAAD lately.
I cant feel the spirit of BMW in here 🙂 and I dont like the design 🙂
Yes, I agree with all above (and with all below, he he!!)
I like the way it ‘looks at me’, apart from that I hope it performs better than the car it looks like.
Modified R8 3D model maybe??
Sometimes I wonder why these poor designs end up online, while really good designers don’t get this kind of visibility.
Really good designers are not allowed to publish their designs under own names. Usually it is the Design Directors who take credit for the work of the team…
from miles looks like r8 and is r8 just some layers reshaped
Oh MY!!! How can that fellow call it a BMW? it’s merely a R8 with a nose whole of BMW 7 series! stupid design.
Walter de Silva (designer of Audi R8) is not gonna be pleased when he sees this :O
