TRENDY: PPI Razor GTR Audi R8 = AWESOME

Although I currently drive a 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (and love it) I’m still a luxury car fan… i.e. BMW, Porsche, Audi, Lexus (sometimes) etc. Audi’s, like BMW’s, are definitely in my top 5 “Cars I Love” list, especially the Audi S4. Anyway, this Audi R8 is NUTS! Don’t mistake my knowledge for being limited only to fashion because I know a lot about cars (I’m a geek in every aspect of life) and work on my car regularly, and I don’t mean waxing and washing it–I’m talking engine work!

For those of you who know a thing or two, here are some spec according to James Spotting:
“A specially engineered supercharger, ram-charged sport air filter system and a high performance exhaust system made of stainless steel were custom designed to deliver 580 hp and 600Nm of torque, while the R8’s 1,580 kg kerb weight was reduced by more than 250kg, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in only 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 332 km/h. To handle it a new front bumper, diffuser, side skirts, and hood made from carbon-fibre were fitted, along with extra-wide 19″ forged alloy wheels, an updated brake package with six-piston calipers, and that tuner’s favorite, a hydraulically adjustable suspension kit for a bit of the old up and down.”
