Can someone tell me what this car is? And how fun does this look?

Oh for crying out loud. It's NOT an Audi. But, coincidentally, I believe it IS an "R8". It's a Radical:

I'd take it, either way. Didn't think it resembled my wife's Audi very much. Maybe the sound ( I wish) LOL

Yeah I don't think it's an Audi of any kind. And it could be Radical BUT it looks a tiny bit different.

I have seen other videos of this car before, all claim it to be a Radical S R8
Here's one of the youtube clips (same footage):

Yeah that video is crazy, I believe radical to be correct. There seems to be more and more kit/prototypes being built these days tho.

here a similar video of a F3000 doing a hill climb

They are Rinspeeds and are too big (20") and too heavy (28lbs). I'm going to get some AMTs for the track soon.
