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

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi R8 reproduces the #2 car that finished 2nd at the 2001 24 Hours of Le Mans with Laurent Aiello, Rinaldo Capello and Christian Pescatori. The body is a sealed one-piece shell. A podium finish from Audi's dominant LMP1 era.

The R8 became the most successful Le Mans prototype of its generation, and this 2001 second-place finish came during the car's first full season proving that dominance.

Compact-Scale Prototype Construction

At 1:43, the R8's low, aerodynamic body is molded as a single fixed zinc alloy shell, an approach that suits the prototype's continuous curved surfaces and keeps production tolerances manageable at this smaller footprint. The livery's sponsor decals and racing numbers are tampo-printed onto the shell with enough resolution to stay legible despite the compact scale, and the metal's weight still gives the model a grounded, purposeful stance appropriate for a Le Mans-winning platform. This scale trades some of the fine molded detail a 1:18 casting could carry for a footprint that lets a full field of prototype liveries share the same shelf.

A Podium in Audi's LMP1 Dynasty

Laurent Aiello and Rinaldo Capello were both key drivers through Audi's Le Mans prototype years, and this second-place finish in 2001 sits within a run of results that would eventually total multiple outright wins for the R8 platform. For a collector assembling Audi's Le Mans history by year or by result, a podium finish like this one provides useful context alongside the outright winners, showing the depth of competitive strength Audi fielded across its full entry list rather than just the headline car.
