About the Audi R8 LMP #3 J. Herbert / R. Kelleners 24 Hours of Le Mans 2001 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces Audi's #3 R8 LMP prototype, driven by Johnny Herbert and Rinaldo Kelleners at the 2001 24 Hours of Le Mans. It captures Audi's factory prototype era at a compact scale suited to a full endurance racing shelf.

Audi's R8 LMP program dominated Le Mans-style endurance racing in the early 2000s, and this #3 entry represents one of the factory cars fielded during that stretch, carrying two genuinely respected sportscar drivers.

The Audi R8 LMP and a Dominant Factory Program

Audi's R8 LMP was the closed-cockpit prototype that anchored the brand's move into top-tier sportscar racing, and across the early 2000s it became one of the most successful designs in modern Le Mans-style competition. Johnny Herbert brought Formula One and sportscar pedigree to the factory line-up, while Rinaldo Kelleners was a capable long-distance specialist in his own right, and together they represented Audi's depth of driving talent during this campaign. The #3 car sat within a multi-car factory effort at the 2001 24 Hours of Le Mans, part of a program built on reliability and pace rather than flash. That combination of engineering discipline and driver quality is exactly what made the R8 LMP era such a significant chapter in Audi's motorsport history.

A Compact Diecast Prototype for an Endurance Racing Shelf

At 1:43, this R8 LMP occupies a fraction of the shelf space a 1:18 GT car demands, which is exactly why the scale suits prototype racing collecting: a full endurance season, or a full Audi factory line-up across several years, fits into a single cabinet row without crowding. Minichamps built its reputation on livery-accurate motorsport diecast, and a factory prototype like this rewards that precision with correct sponsor placement and number-panel detail that a generic mass-market casting would blur. The small scale means less physical presence than a hero 1:18 piece, but for collectors building a genuine Le Mans prototype lineage rather than a single showpiece, that compactness is the point. Paired with other early-2000s factory entries, it reads as a working piece of racing history rather than a standalone curiosity.
