The Story 2016 was Audis last year contesting the World Endurance Championship. That years R18 was arguably the most fearsome weapon produced in 18 years of competition and 13 Le Mans wins. Beautiful in a brutish way, it is wonderfully efficient aerodynamically.
And the cars aerodynamics made it a singular challenge for AFX when creating the body in 1/64th scale. In fact, this is the most complex body we have ever made with 15 full depth body openings, way more than we or anyone else has ever done.
Audi campaigned two cars in 2016. The #7 actually won the first race of the year at Silverstone but was excluded from the results when it was found that the underbody failed an after-race check. The two car team finished 2nd overall in the 2016 Championship.
The black presentation livery was the way the car was presented to the press in 2015 and they were stunned to see that Audi had abandoned their historic shades of grey and silver livery. But when the car showed up to race, it had changed back.
Because of our Mega G+ chassis, the lowest, narrowest chassis ever made in this scale, the correct proportions can be maintained along with deep aerodynamic channeling characteristic to the Audi. Oh yeah, its also wonderfully drivable, fast and fun!

Mega G+ CHASSIS This new Mega G+ chassis doesnt just go faster or handle better than the competition. And it doesnt just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. Its smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car weve ever built.
We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the feel of driving a real car. But we couldnt do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new
