RS8 on Fire
Check out this photo of a RS8 that caught fire during testing. Is that a E55/63 or S55/63AMG series in the back-ground? Looks like AMG showed up to give the RS some competition..... btw the RS8 was in front before it caught fire.

As in Audi RS8? What am I missing, because there's no way thats an Audi. Or maybe you meant the Ford Focus RS8
