Woman wins Audi R8 Spyder on The Price Is Right, goes bananas

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Of course, we love to tune into The Price Is Right to see average Americans spin the big wheel, play a round of Plinko or Cliff Hangers, and participate in the gladiatorial Showcase Showdown. But there is one reason, and one reason alone that the daytime game show has captivated us since its inception in 1972... 'A new car!!!'

Back in November, the show held a Dream Car Week that saw contestants get the chance to win whips like a Porsche 911 and a BMW 6 Series, amongst others. It must have been pretty successful, as the PIR team is back at it, this time giving away an Audi R8 Spyder with a sticker price of $157,300. That makes it the single most-expensive item given away in the show's history.

The R8's new owner, Sheree Heil, may not fit the image of a typical R8 driver – we anticipate she'll learn which side of the car to drive on after the show is over – but she is clearly tickled pink with her big win. Check out the insanity below.
