Champion Mattias Ekström gets Audi R8

By

Double Deutche Tourenwagen Masters champion Mattias Ekström now drives a brand new Audi R8 for the road. The car was delivered in blue and silver.
“It’s not just the colour scheme that reminds me of my Red Bull Audi A4 from the DTM,” explains the 29-year old. “The Audi R8 is a fascinating sportscar which is great fun to drive. After I was allowed to drive an R8 from Lake Constance to Sweden in the summer it was clear to me: Such a thing must be in my garage!”

Jörg Felske, Head of Sales Germany at AUDI AG, delivered the car to Ekström after the DTM Championship party in Audi Forum Neckarsulm.

Next up for Ekström, other than driving the R8, is a test with the new DTM Audi A4 in the coming week.
