The front end of this scale model from SCX is divided into three parts: the center section, which leads into the driver's cockpit, and two side ones which house large headlights. Specially designed to compete in endurance races, these lights enable the driver to race all night and in poor visibility conditions.
Between these three parts, the Audi R10 TDi has two enormous air intakes to keep the powerful diesel engine cool, as it reaches higher temperatures than petrol engines. This combination of shapes gives the vehicle an unusual appearance which, together with the driver's completely open cockpit, has a certain retro air to it.
From the front, the SCX model has the team logo in the center, followed by the main sponsors' logos, the car's number, a first telecommunications aerial and finally the German flag. On each side are large air intakes to diffuse the heat given off by the tires when they are worked hard. Like the original Audi R10 TDi, this SCX car has various aerodynamic features and ventilation grilles on the sides.
Eye-catching graphics on the sides of the SCX car include the name of the new TDi diesel engine, the German flag of the team and the logo of Shell, supplier of the fuel used and sponsor. The wheels, like those of its arch-enemy on the track, the Peugeot 908, carry the blue and white Michelin logo.
The decoration on this Audi R10 TDi is meticulous down to the last detail, with logos on the rear-view mirrors, the driver’s overalls and helmet in color and the safety bars showing the names and nationalities of the drivers at the sides.
Finally, the rear end of the model is dominated by a large spoiler with a design to match the combination of hard flat surfaces and soft curves which characterize the rest of the bodywork. Once again, the name of the new engine stands out: Audi TDi Power.
In the back view of the SCX Audi R10 TDi two imposing exhaust pipes stand out, framed between discreet brake lights.
Driving Impressions
This is a spectacular scale model with exceptional proportions to make it a fast, comfortable drive. The bodywork is long, wide and very low, giving it a layout on the chassis which is sure to work on the track. And it certainly does work! The car turns flat, like an enormous low mass which gets ahead safely on the straight, accelerates evenly and begs to take curves at medium speed, taking wider curves fast. A lively motor shifts the car firmly and the separate motor bed holds the track better than if it were fixed.
This model also features a new version of the SCX ARS pick-up guide. It keeps the system of contact runners but gives smoother turns. It is lower in the chassis so that the car sits flatter on the track.
