This thing looks terrible, but what is interesting about this is not the introduction of a tuned R8, but the availability of a supercharger for the Audi 4.2L V8.

+1 for the RS4!!!!

I hoped that no one would bring up this monstrosity. Hopefully the ABT factory burns down before it reaches the production line.

That poor R8. They ignored all of the carefully planned body lines and just sort of scribbled on aribtary body pieces. bleh.

I actually don't think it looks that bad..... it's very close to rice, but in all black and with that supercharger... :? 8)

Why doesn't ABT just give it a DTM aero treatment? That'd be sweet.

Oh my... this ABT R8 is horrible, it's surprising that's comming from ABT, because normaly ABT made some nice kits. :?

About the the V8 FSI 4.2L supercharger, MTM will be always the only best reference IMO...just take a look on the MTM RS4 K540 figures and you will be convinced. :wink: http://www.rs6.com/smilies/rs4addict.gif

Yeah saw it in the paper this morning!

As ever I love the tuning part, but why do they always have to mess with the exterior.. :bah:

If it were a different color I think it would look better. Like everyone else though, I do like the supercharger!

No. Nevermind. Burn it like they burned the V10 prototype.

WTF !?! :shock:

Who designed that piece of crap ?!? Look at that rear :shock: It would be hard to make it look worse. And the worst thing is that there's always someone who will buy it :lol:

and that would be awesome on a RS4 Avant!! :twisted: :P

No, it wouldn't !! :P

Just one word: :puke: No seriously, the stock R8 already looks perfect IMO, so any tuner mods can only make it worse but this one is simply hideous :x

Another perfectly cool supercar ruined by a silly tuning company who wants to make it better but in fact makes it worse :roll: . Maybe if someone changed the looks slightly it may make it better but this tuning exterior really is simply the worst :lol: :x Although it's fast you can't just mess up the exterior, it doesn't work like that :?
