The Audi R8's understated aura is one of the aspects that define the German supercar, but what if Ingolstadt's mid-engined toy were to be dialed up (more than) a notch? Well, one of the most facile ways to achieve this comes from the rendering realm and the pixel play sitting before us is an example as good as any.
This R8 has been touched by the supercar face swap frenzy, which is a bit of a trend on the automotive side of social media.
To be more precise, the Audi has been gifted with the front end of the Bugatti, but the Chiron was deemed... conventional, which is why the Divo was selected for the role.
At least from where I'm standing, this is a mix that seems to work, with the resulting baby Bug being adorable - it's a shame the R8 lost its entry-level V8 engine, since such a setup would've allowed us to say this packs half a Chiron engine.
Of course, there are face swaps out there that appear to work even better and keep in mind we're still talking about the Audi R8 here. For instance, here's how the V10 toy looks with a Lamborghini Urus face transplant (this render comes from the same pixel art label that brought us this Bugatti play).
While we're talking Molsheim matters, allow me to remind you that we are about twenty hours from the release of a new Bugatti special.
I'm referring to the Centodieci (this nameplate means "110" in Italian), which is an ode to the EB110 SS, borrowing multiple styling influences from the predecessor of the Veyron.
Based on the Chiron, this is expected to be even more exclusive than the Divo - a ten-unit production run is rumored, while each unit should retail for $9 million. The hypercar is expected to make its debut at Pebble Beach tomorrow and you can check out the live stream here.
