The principle of Wikipedia is verifiable information from reliable sources. Typically, this means that the sources of information for automobiles are motoring publications (books and magazines), or from widely acknowledged experts in the field (people often quoted by those said publications for their opinions). Most of the sources in this article are not reliable by those means. Fansites (AudiV8.com, Audistory.24max), a site that states "The specifications for this 1993 Audi V8 Lang car are presented for your information only and no guarantees as to their accuracy can be given. Use this data entirely at your own risk." (carfolio), and a wiki (AudiFans) are just a few striking examples of this (theere are others still). Please look for published reviews and reports on the vehicle for this article. Several uncited information (such as "Interesting fact is that those DTM cars retained walnut wood trim on doors and dashboard. They are currently preserved and are exhibited in Audi Forum museums in Inglostadt and Neckarsulm, racing on occasion at special events.") are original research (not substantiated by reliable sources). It is pointless to review text content when the information could be unsubstantiated and may have to be removed. Some of the images seems to have been transferred from wiki to wiki, and no trail (transfer history) is provided to verify that the original licensing has been followed.

More than 7 days have passed, and no work was attempted; with serious issues like unreliable sourcing in this article, this cannot be a GA. Jappalang (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
