May 12, 201410 yr I've frontpaged your MOC. And I think it's time to assign you that well earned PRO tag
May 12, 201410 yr 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. H On 5/12/2014 at 8:16 AM, Milan said: Back view is a winner for me! I second that. H
May 12, 201410 yr Author 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. Edited May 12, 201410 yr by Lipko

May 12, 201410 yr Awesome car! Rear suspension is sweet, and I really like the roll cage setup. Nicely done! :thumbup:
May 12, 201410 yr 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...
May 13, 201410 yr I want to render those cars. If there's an LXF or LDR just let me know. *:-) Edited May 13, 201410 yr by virtualrepublic
May 13, 201410 yr I love all the intricate details you included in sculpting the bodywork, well done. tim

May 13, 201410 yr Amazing design cannot wait to build it. it is also picked up by legocarblog http://thelegocarblog.com/tag/technic/
May 13, 201410 yr Great job on the car. The body work looks great, and the suspension is very authentic.
May 13, 201410 yr Author 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.
May 13, 201410 yr Missing Parts are no Problem in the LDD File, The Pictures Helps Edited May 13, 201410 yr by Polo-Freak

May 18, 201410 yr 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 (;
May 23, 201410 yr 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!
