Racing Community Disgusted, Intrigued by Audi R15 Mutant

Audi Racer 1600.jpg


In what is thought to be the first documented case of vehicular polycephaly, Audi has revealed its newest LeMans racer, the R15 TDI.

The so-called "R15 TDI plus" is thought by now-nauseated onlookers to suffer from the condition also known colloquially as the "two-headed goat syndrome," and referred to by early-Twentieth-Century sideshow promoters as "Cash, money!"

Audi, for one is refusing to acknowledge the freakiness of its spawn, even while all around them women fall ill and children cry in the R15's presence. The company allegedly claims the twin-headed R15 is simply the result of an ongoing program to improve aerodynamics and attain "exclusive dynamism."

Said one LeMans competitor, who preferred to remain nameless: "What the...Oh...Oh, God!...For the love of all that is good and sacred, someone kill that thing!"


WARNING: Certain portions of the above are parody and are therefore not strictly speaking true. In reality, the Audi R15 is merely a very, very ugly race car.

I have to agree with teleiosgt here. It really doesn't look bad. What's with the tone of Straightline recently? Lately it has been all vile, snark, and general unpleasantness. Come back Bob!

Most racecars are nightmarish spectacles to behold, don't see how this is much different

Looks like Audi consulted Predator in the design of the R15 "Plus". I couldn't agree with you more Straightline, the front fascia of the updated R15 is way ugly and I didn't think it was possible for the R15 to get uglier. Bring back the R10!

It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to win.
