The city of Cologne, Germany, home to the country's annual Gamescom convention, is full of beautiful cars (
proof!). During our week-long stay, I counted at least six Audi R8s in the wild. That includes this one, used to casually control a game of
Gran Turismo 5 (by an underage driver, no less).
As you might imagine, a line held steady around the massive, moving Audi R8 shell. It certainly didn't hurt that the device was smack in the middle of a street fair many blocks away from Gamescom's enormous facilities on the other side of the Rhine. We can only imagine the line had it been anywhere near the
hundreds of thousands of Gamescom attendees!
