Earlier this year, we reported that Audi would be partnering up with Square-Enix to bring their R8 supercar to ‘Kingsglaive’, the new Final Fantasy movie. Now, they have announced a real-life version of the car will be produced by Audi: the R8 ‘Star of Lucis’ edition.

The R8 comes in at a staggering £375,000 ($472,575 USD) price tag… so, what separates this Audi flagship from a typical R8 you ask? It’s purely cosmetic.

The car is painted in “Ultrossic Black”, representing the royal black of the Kingdom of Lucis, and features unique, one-of-a-kind embossing. The rims on the car are also adapted from the Lucis emblem, so it’ll definitely be a looker on the streets.

Technically, it’s what you’d expect from Audi’s poster-car. A 5.2 litre R8 V10 is complimented with a 7-speed gearbox that provides a considerable amount of oomph. Although the performance will be expectantly brilliant, the price-tag is definitely not modest.

If you’re a die-hard FF fan or simply have more money than sense, the car will be drawn from a lottery pool of potential suitors, with a website opening on November 21st, allowing potential owners to throw their hat in the ring to own the ultimate collectors item. Keep an eye on the car’s official website if you’re inclined to making the purchase.

Final Fantasy XV launches worldwide on the 29th of November on PS4 and Xbox One — if you’re looking forward to the game, stop by the dedicated discussion thread in our forums to connect with other fans!

    Very nice! A top knob at work just bought himself a brand new R8 in pearl white, looks stunning. Probably my favourite supercar at the moment for its balance of comfort, refinement, performance and gadgetry on offer.

      Oh… Jesus Christ I totally forgot about that!

      Such a long time has passed since the announcement, or whatever it was.

    I just picked up World Of Final Fantasy and I’m loving it. Too bad I probably won’t finish the story before this arrives and takes up all of my spare time.
