In 2003, flaunts Audi on the trading floor of Frankfurt with a spectacular showcar, the Le Mans Quattro Concept, named after the many successes that Audi that years book in the famous 24-uursrace with the R8. It takes three more years before the dream becomes a reality in the form of a Lamborghini Gallardo in Audi-uniform.
