About the Audi R8 Infineon #2 L. Aiello / R. Capello / Pescatori 2nd Place 24 Hours of Le Mans 2001 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: This 1:43 Minichamps diecast reproduces the Infineon Audi R8 #2, finishing 2nd overall at the 2001 24 Hours of Le Mans with Aiello, Capello and Pescatori. The body is a sealed one-piece casting. A strong result piece for an Audi prototype collection.

The R8 became one of the most successful Le Mans prototypes ever built, and this Infineon-liveried car's 2001 runner-up finish came during the platform's early, formidable run of results.

Compact Prototype Construction

At 1:43, the R8's flowing closed-cockpit bodywork translates into a manageable footprint for a display shelf, and the zinc alloy casting still carries a reassuring density despite its reduced size. The sealed one-piece body holds the R8's distinctive high rear deck and low nose without a seam interrupting the shape, letting Minichamps keep the tolerances tight around the wheel arches and rear wing mounts at this scale. The Infineon livery's colours print cleanly, and the race number 2 stays legible despite the compact surface it sits on. The proportions capture the R8's genuinely low, purposeful stance accurately.

A Podium Finish Worth Displaying

A 2nd-place finish at Le Mans places this specific livery among the R8's early competitive results, a period when Audi's new prototype was rapidly establishing dominance in endurance racing. This piece works well within an Audi Le Mans display, sitting alongside other R8 liveries from the same competitive era to trace the model's results across seasons. The sealed body makes it a low-maintenance addition to a growing prototype collection, with no panels to loosen through repeated handling as the display expands.
