Re: R8 by ABT

I like the wing in the back. It makes the car looks more exotic. Don't like the rear bumper treatment though. It looks busy and not as clean as the factory r8.

Re: R8 by ABT

Most of all I like the Kompressor upgrade: 530hp.
I hope it's not an error: ABT already offers a Supercharging kit for the Audi Q7 V8, but not for the RS4 engine...

Anyhow, here it's the link:

Re: R8 by ABT

The car isn't exactly my favorite design to begin with, but this is downright nasty.

Look closely - this is a mimic of the "Hermera" wheel from the LP640. What about creativity again?

Re: R8 by ABT

They've taken a striking car and turned it into a late 1990s Toyota MR2 with every dated ricer cliche imaginable .

This is just plain ugly. Why do they bother? Maybe they will sell a few in Russia...

Re: R8 by ABT

Certain cars are so "right" in their OEM iconic form, like Miata MX-5, Ferrari V8s, Audi TT and R8 as just a few examples, that aftermarket kit just ruins them.
