Well, it really looks like the Bentley Speed 8 with some minor improvements
you’re right in that they are closed roof, and carry audi engines….but there really isn’t too much similarity in the actual design….check out this comparison, which really shows how different their dimensions are: http://www.grandtouringprototype.com/wp-content/gallery/thumbs-holding/r18-bentley-03-front-comparo-f.jpg
Of course, they differ in a lot of things, but there is 6 years between the 2 cars and lots of development, but they couldn’t lie about their relations. Oh and the Peugeot 90x will have just the same modifications as on the Audis, big air intake on the roof, shark tail, new rear spoiler, etc.: http://www.peugeot-sport.com/en/news-673-peugeot-90x-breaks-cover.html
the R18 and Bentley Speed 8 are completely unrelated…Audi started the original R8 project AFTER the Bentley Speed 8 had already been developed…..the only relation of the Speed 8 to Audi was the engine……the only similarity they have is that they are closed cockpit.
