This is one Audi R8 V10 Quattro that will surely be noticed on the road after being tuned by XXX Performance. With their bilious green paint job and rims to match, this R8 looks like it should be a toy. The exterior received a new set of 20-inch alloy rims wrapped in high performance Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires. The sports car was then lowered with a H&R coilover kit to give it a menacing stance. To go with the new aggressive look, a G-Ride air suspension setup gives the driver control of the ride height.

Typically the tuners at ABT focus on the VW projects, but this time they came to the Geneva Motor Show with a new 600 horsepower Audi R8 V10 Spyder. The German tuning firm pulled 620 hp to be exact, and the Audi R8 looks better than ever. It received a red paint job with black styling throughout, along with many carbon fiber parts. Some to name include the front skirt, rear skirt, windscreen cover, air scoops, and the engine bay finished with carbon. These aftermarket parts help reduce the weight of the Audi sports car, while the flagship vehicle received new wheels measuring either 19 or 20-inches. Performance specifications come next.

Here is the latest tuning job performed by MTM on the new Audi R8 V10 Biturbo. It will be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and most likely blind all the camera’s with the chrome exterior. If you ever plan on wrapping your car in chrome, or painting it a bright color, you always need to remember that you will be drawing attention to traffic cops in your modified car. You better hope that your car is faster than the police cars, so that they won’t feel the need to chase you since you will be long gone by the time they start. This custom Audi R8 V10 produces 766 horsepower and 888 Nm of torque, with a predicted top speed of over 360 km/h once the tuning is completed. As it sits right now, the Audi R8 was able to reach 347.6 km/h, reported by the MotorVision.de website.

Here’s some crazy tuning by the guys from West Coast Customs and Monster Cable on the Tron themed Audi R8. Take one look at the car and the only thing that comes to mind is sick, literally, you will feel that after seeing all the pictures. Definitely overkill since the Tron motorcycle already seems to be a bust. However, some people will probably like it and want to make their car glow, even if it’s not a supercar like the Audi R8 Tron. Thankfully, there were no modifications under the hood, and West Coast Customs strictly stuck to customizing the exterior with glowing rims, glowing vents, glow seats, and a blinding chrome finish. It looks like they did a professional job building the Audi, but whoever drives this car will probably cause more accidents than help the road.
