Default Chromeshiny Audi A8 by MTM



Small pictures, some slightly bigger ones if you go here; http://www.auto.t-online.de/c/15/71/43/1571430.html and click "Foto-Show Der Hochglanz-A8"

V8 4,2l Kompressor with 450 bhp
19" Bimoto wheels

It costed 78.000 Euro to make the car shiny. MTM used 800 work hours to remove the paint and clean the car body and make it ready for polishing. After that polishing and clear body'paint'.

Also other mods to the cars handling and aerodynamics. Was ment for showroom use in Abu Dabi, but was given to the royal family. They ordered a second one right after.

(hope I didn't mix up anything in the transalation, neither perfect in english or german)

A similar car must be dangerous for the other motorists when it done sun. Can you imagine the terrific sunlight spot! 8)

Despite that, I find this Audi A8 MTM very cool.

I guess MTM has mounted a Kompressor, not a turbo, at least it says
"450 PS setzt der auf dem 4,2-Liter-V8 basierende Motor frei - dank Kompressoraufladung ist er so stark wie der W12 im Spitzenmodell."

which is something like;
"450 hp is released by the 4.2 l V8 motor, thanks to Kompressor it as powerful as the W12 in the top model."

Turbo would be "turboladung" in german.

I did hear a rumur that someone bought the car in Abu Dhabi, but I did not belive it.. hehehe.. Guess I was wrong then..

By the way I saw this car infront of me at Dubai Motorshow and it was wonderful.. We asked about it and MTM sales person told us that it was a paint kind of chrome. not accuall chrome.. But I got no clue... Yayy.. Then it's legal I think to drive that car on the road.. Yayy.. My Evo that paintjob.. a dream.. ..
