I was browsing through Auto Barn's website and found a handmade R-GT in 1:43 made by MR Models. I won't tell you how much it costs since you could have a heart-attack.

If some company would make an R-GT with race livery & in 1:18, THAT would be AWESOME!!!

Felix, if you thought that was expensive, did you catch a glimpse at the Diablo GTR BOS? $699!!!

Maisto and AutoArt will bring out the Murcielago R-GT.

the reason the wing looks way to friggin big is cause someone put it on backwards. :lol

I got to see that #5 "up close & personal" at Mosport in Aug. :happy good thing because I not seeing that again. :cry

Followed that baby right into the Krohn Barbour paddock... :giggle

Another good view of the rear spoiler

I never did get to see Scoot Maxwell race :cry

That wing is just a bit much for me...especially after seeing Felix's pics.

 

[Guest]

I recall seeing that huge wing on the presentation car when some of the first press releases came out of it. Where did you take that picture Dirk? That little car in the background to the left looks like something I've seen in Dr. Suess' children books. :giggle

That was in Germany, at the 2003 Essen Motor Show

and here is another racing shot
this is how it ran in the FIA-GT at Oschersleben in 2004
still a pretty big wing on it

 

[Guest]

This is even a better view of the wing

 

[Guest]

I've got some of the presentation photos and the wing is B-I-G BIG. I've also got one photo of Andy Wallace testing the car at speed coming out of a right hander. Very sweet photos. :cheers

How did that R-GT in 2004 against the other cars in its class? I know the Krohn Barbour team with their two R-GTs did not get the sort of support from Lamborghini as they needed to. As I understand it, I think this was ultimately their greatest source of frustration. The C5-Rs were outpowered and outhandled the R-GTs (Of course the C5-Rs had factory backing which helps tremendously!!)

WHOEHOE

LookSmart has updated their website and now it's confirmed
they will be releasing the Murcie R-GT :danbana

3 cars at the moment
LAMBORGHINI R-GT Race Version Valencia 2004
LAMBORGHINI R-GT Race Version Imola 2004
LAMBORGHINI R-GT Race Version Japan 2004

I'm defenitly getting the Imola version, since that's the same livery that i saw race at Oschersleben.
altough that japan version looks sweet too

Hi guys. I just read about the Diablo GTR BOS that vegasracer drew attention too. That's the MR Model that features fully opening doors, bonnet and trunk. Have a look at this link. It's also $99 cheaper here, so I'll take 10 please :lol
