Audi R8 RWD? It's Possible!

Is this mystery winged Audi R8 an RWD test mule?

"Remember that mystery winged R8 running around Nurburgring run last week by Spyshots.nl? There's a theory by a usually knowledgeable user at RS6.com that suggests the car is a prototype of a potentially RWD R8 much like the latest Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2."

It shouldn't be too hard to believe. They already used a GT3 racer for the Nurburgring... I think.
I read somewhere that AWD is a nono for GT3. Anyone care to explain why? Is it just the regulations?

For those who ever sees me test driving one, I'll be drifting it with traction control fully on :P

Good for AUDI.
They finally learned that most of time people don't need AWD.

Audi produces RWD race cars for different segments- here is a RWD A4 for DTM racing- it would not be uncommon at all for them to produce a RWD instead of a Quattro.

DTM is twice as funny as NASCAR and half as funny as IROC used to be.
