Here is an Audi R8 wrapped in gold car wrap, and we have seen plenty of these wraps making their way onto modified cars lately. The Nissan GT-R wrapped in chrome, white, and matte black was a hit previously, but now it seems like we have people wrapping cars in anything they can find. So what’s hotter than your typical matte white or black car wrap? Well, some owners would probably consider the rich color of gold like this owner did, when this Audi R8 was seen in Moscow, Russia. But, they aren’t the first. Some gold cars already out there include the gold Ferrari Enzo, a gold Bugatti Veyron, and a gold Hamann Ferrari 599 GTB. Just don’t mistake this car wrap for real gold, since one gold Porsche was stolen in Moscow because the thieves probably thought it was worth much more.

With a new front bonnet, front and rear aprons, and carbon fiber adjustable rear wing, the aggressive R8 GTR looks like it could take on the notorious Nissan GTR. The windows were even replaced with Makrolon pieces, a super strong, lightweight material that is better than the factory parts. ABT’s tuning firm swapped the original door panels with carbon fiber ones, and all these feather-like additions made the Audi R8 GTR 100 kg lighter than the stock model.

The commercial states that three of Audi’s more popular cars, the S4, A6, and Q5 have all beaten their close rival BMW, in three straight Car and Driver comparison tests. With the styling added to this Audi Q7, it could probably be added to that list if your pockets are deep enough to handle the prices.
