Audi R8 LMS Ultra Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Audi R8 LMS Ultra has been slightly underperforming yearly growth when compared to other sets in Speed Champions, at an average annual growth rate of around 9%, this set is still a decent investment for most LEGO collector portfolios.”

“If you know anything about cars you will recognise this as an Audi R8 thanks to the iconic black panels on the side. Given the size of the model they are well done, even if they do need a small sticker. At the back there are stickers for the proper shape of the tail lights... More and the exhausts and a spoiler from the Tiny Turbo's to finish the shape. The rear spoiler is built upside down and attached with skeleton arms which is has been done before.”

“This model is a type 42 R8 LMS. The R8 was brought in by Audi back in 2006 and achieved major fame and desirability in 2007/2008 when it was featured as Tony Stark’s car in the original Iron Man. Audi kept this partnership up throughout the films, eventually moving on to... More models such as the A8 and concept e-tron to keep pace with the futuristic nature of the franchise.”
