Not much else to say. Custom ONE-OFF twin turbo widebody R8 built by owner of Topspeed Motorsports and professional
race car driver Lehman Keen. This car has never been offered for sale to the public. I happened to come across the
link above on this build and had to have it. I called the owner of Topspeed Motorsports and pretty much persuaded
him to sell it to me. Having owned it just over 1 year now, (I'm known for going through cars in 6-12 months
unfortunately) it's time to let someone else enjoy this incredible one of a kind build. Before the car was
delivered to me, Topspeed Motorsports went through the car thoroughly; changing ALL fluids and performing a
leakdown compression test, etc... etc.
~Car has a brand new complete upgraded clutch assembly installed by local Audi dealer.
~R8 GT tail lights.
~Paint correction and Ceramic pro applied to every inch of the car.
~Paint protection film (PPF) applied to entire front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, headlights, areas behind both
front and rear of wheels where typical road rash could occur.
~Wing is removable in about 15 minutes if you don't want that complete LMS look taking over the road.
~Yellow film on headlights is also removable with ease. *FILM HAS NOW BEEN REMOVED
The car is an absolute head turner and takes all the attention at nearly every show or event it attends.
This is not just a standard R8 with a Twin Turbo slapped on it like you'll see otherwise. There is no other
widebody build like it. This is not a widebody "kit" This was all hand laid and formed; not to mention every aero
component is functional and serves a purpose.
Runs flawlessly and no different from stock or an everyday R8 until you drop a gear and hit the throttle. Sounds
amazing as well.
So to sum it up, you get a car that runs as if it came right out the factory, (only much, much, more power) still
has all the factory comfort and features of an R8, but looks like a legit Lemans race car made for both the track
and street! Did I mention...... it has the incredible 6 spd. gated shifter that nobody produces any more.
Receipts for ...

Audi Prologue concept drives itself to CES with updated powertrain
Thu, Jan 8 2015What's the point in crafting a one-off concept car if it only gets to stand in the spotlight at one show? That's what automakers have been asking themselves recently, and the answer has, generally speaking, been to repaint their show cars, give them a bit of new tech and put them back on center stage. And the latest to do so is Audi, which has given its Prologue concept a new lease on life. The Prologue was originally unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show less than two months ago, showing the way forward for the future of Audi design, in an elegant coupe form that looked ready to take on the Mercedes S-Class Coupe. We even got a chance to drive it around the streets of LA, and when we did, we marveled at the concept's advanced infotainment system that caters a range of personal preferences according to who's on board. "It's easy to see how this could even reach for chauffeured, or autonomously driven vehicles" in the future, we said at the time. And it turns out Audi was on the same page. At CES this year, Audi has brought back the Prologue concept, given it a darker coat of grey paint, a grey-tone interior (instead of the previous shades of brown and tan), a fresh set of wheels and equipped it with the autonomous tech the German automaker has been at the forefront of developing. Though other automakers have been fitting their self-driving prototypes with all-electric powertrains, Audi kept the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in place – but fitted it with a hybrid assist to drive output up from an already prodigious 605 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to an even more impressive 677 hp and 701 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time down to 3.5 seconds. Now that's the kind of "piloted driving" tech (as Audi calls it) that we can get behind.
2014 Audi R8 V8
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Where to even begin with the Audi R8 V8.
Let's start with the Ferrari 458 Italia, a car that doubles the base price of the Audi. It's much more fun to drive than it is to talk about; discussions among enthusiasts usually begin with someone saying, "It's amazing!" and end with everyone else agreeing. Opposite that is the vast, swirling nebula of cars that are often more fun to talk about than they are to drive.
In between, there are very few cars that are as fun to discuss as they are to drive, and this Audi is one. It's a car that challenges our notions about its actual competitive set and, even better, its philosophical competitive set, its driving experience, its price, its future, its present viewed from the future, and its verifiable and/or potential pedigree.
Audi prices 2014 A8L TDI from $82,500*
Thu, 31 Jan 2013During the Los Angeles Auto Show last November, Audi told us that it would be bringing four new diesel-powered models to the United States this year. The first to arrive is the 2014 A8L TDI you see here, and we've now learned that the big oil-sipper will be priced from $82,500, (*excluding $895 for destination).
The whole new range of diesel models will be powered by Audi's 3.0-liter TDI V6, good for 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque in this application. Of course, Quattro all-wheel drive is standard, and even in the big A8, the diesel grunt will be enough to propel the long-wheelbase flagship to 60 miles per hour in 6.4 seconds (almost a full second slower than the A8 3.0T we reviewed last fall). That said, the A8 TDI should still be a pretty engaging steer, and considering the fact that this thing will reportedly return fuel economy figures of up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway (24 in the city), a slightly slower launch time is well worth it. (The A8 3.0T tops out at 28 mpg highway.)
Elsewhere in the segment, Mercedes-Benz offers a diesel version of its S-Class flagship, retailing for $93,000 and good for fuel economy figures of 21/31 mpg city/highway. By comparison, the A8 TDI seems like a steal, and we'll be interested to see where the forthcoming BMW 7 Series diesel falls into the class of huge oil-burning barges.
