There is nothing to be ashamed of because this is prototype. To to toast 3 RS8's is kinda heartbreaking... At least the carmaker display solid accountability by revealing the cause of fire.

Thr R8 is already one hell of a basher, and with the RS8, my God, the sky's the limit they say. However, just how long will these supercars continue to be developed given the more restrictions passed on by enviromental laws? Well, prototypes are always subject to extreme tortutres.

Since they have the 911 turbo, maybe upgrade to hydrogen cooling.. lol... I think this can be done by channeling more air to the radiator or have a boost cut to prevent overheating...
