Attack of the Clones: Aupel V8


Similar greenhouses, bump strips, BBS rims and turn signal placement give the Audi V8 and Opel Senator very similar looks. Slap 4 rings on the Opel and you could fool most people. Not sure who exactly ripped off who, since the Senator actually came out a year earlier and the greenhouse does look similar to the previous generation. But Audi pretty much had it's look set at that point in other models, so I'm going to say it was Opel that was the ripper.
