You may remember a few weeks ago Audi Germany passed half a million Facebook fans and to celebrate they dispatched an R8 to the skidpad to do some celebratory drifts. These days it’s become fashionable for car makers to celebrate their social media milestone this way. Now if you think that’s lame and they should make a bigger effort, check the video after the jump to see how Audi has made their video. A lot of work goes into this, especially is you are trying to write something with tire marks!

The R8 does dance well for an AWD car. That partly due to its big power, and partly due to the intelligent quattro system that sends more power to the front wheels only when necessary. Most of the time the car is effectively rear-wheel-drive.
