Audi RS 5 DTM

[Milan]

Back view is a winner for me!

[unimog123]

That's one awesome Audi!! :thumbup:

Will there be a video of this masterpiece?

[Jim]

I've frontpaged your MOC.

And I think it's time to assign you that well earned PRO tag

[Edwin Korstanje]

Amazing good Audi DTM model Lipko .

You well earn that Pro Tag.

[Renderbricks]

Phantastic. You have a LDD file of that I can render? *:-)

[Lakop]

Where can I buy it !? I'll have two. For those that have the parts to build the chassis I would love to see a different colour body. That's a fantastic piece of work.

I second that.

Thank you all for the comments, and thank for the frontpage and the pro tag (which I don't think I earned yet, compared to more talented builders with larger portfolios).

Some more infos about the model:

The rear suspension is based on the real model, but I didn't have much reference about it, only some schematics. The suspension uses an extra Lego rubber band (maybe you can spot it on the images), because the body is quit heavy compared to the chassis.

About the quattro drive: all DTM cars have basically the same (the chassis, the engine, everything is extremely regulated) and all have rear wheel drive.

The LDD version will soon be ready (about 1-2 weeks).

I haven't decided about the video yet, I'm still thinking what to put into it.

This model is highly modular, so it will be much pretty easy to build even without instructions.

So, not like the V12 then?

Well, no I still don't dare to built the V12

Awesome car! Rear suspension is sweet, and I really like the roll cage setup. Nicely done! :thumbup:

[captainmib]

Why are you guys building so much awesome car mocs!

Can't decide what to build first.

Seriously, great looking car. Looks realistic and still not too overdone.

Needs instructions ofcourse...

[htbomb]

Stunning.

Amazing build and the front end is spot on.

[Renderbricks]

I want to render those cars. If there's an LXF or LDR just let me know. *:-)

I love all the intricate details you included in sculpting the bodywork, well done.

Fantastic MOC!

[Thirdwigg]

Great job on the car. The body work looks great, and the suspension is very authentic.

[Lipko]

Unfortunately I can't make a full precise LDD file due to some LDD bugs (like with the shocks) and the lack of flexible axes. I don't plan to recreate the model in LDraw for a while.

Missing Parts are no Problem in the LDD File, The Pictures Helps

Amazing MOC I like it very much .

[drdesignz]

Very cool. I saw it on The Lego Car Blog earlier today.

This is stunning. Love the underbody panels, use of half pins for Audi sign, etc.!

I'd use a wider rear fin, and chrome black rims. But that may be less realistic (;

[pwessels]

I'm a longtime lurker, but this model is so stunning I had to react. Very cool.

I actually send this model to Audi Sport (with explicit credits to Lipko ofcourse). They found it very cool:

"thank you very much, this is very cool. What about coming to a DTM race and expose your Lego RS 5 DTM in our Team & Media Hospitality. We would supply the tickets for you.

With best regards

Your Audi Sport Facebook Team"

I already told them (again) this is not my model, but would like to bring them into contact with Lipko. But as I'm a new user I can't PB him. Lipko, please react and I will forward your information.

Again: very cool model!
