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.

Adam Carolla is world's the least helpful test drive co-pilot
Mon, 16 Jun 2014If you were going to test drive a new car, who would you want to take with you? Your spouse? A friend? Maybe an automotive journalist? Well take it from us: there's one of us riding shotgun just about every time we go to drive anything, and we're not all we're cracked up to be.
How about a celebrity comedian? Well, that largely depends on which comedian we're talking about here. Some - say, Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno, for example - might be more helpful than others, being more or less schooled in the finer points of the modern automobile. Adam Carolla might seem like he belongs on that list too, but in this latest video for a friends at Edmunds.com, the one-time host of The Car Show on Speed TV seems bent on being as comedically intrusive as possible. Which may be funny, but helpful? Not so much. See what we mean in the video below, and the next time you go to test drive a new car, you just might find the world's most popular podcast host climbing in with you.
US-bound Audi A3 Sedan spied testing
Fri, 25 Jan 2013As the Audi A3 sedan gets closer to its debut, Audi has camouflaged prototypes to take it on the streets for final testing. Last time we saw the A3, it was testing almost in the buff, but it was on a closed track so our spy shooters were kept at quite a distance.
Now that the newest Audi sedan is testing on public roads, our latest batch of spy shots gives us a more detailed look at the entry-level luxury player despite the swirly camo. Except for the oversized wheels and the fancy exhaust outlets and door mirrors, the production version of the car should look almost identical to the A3 sedan concept we saw in Geneva a couple years ago. Some of the details we can see include a good-sized panoramic roof that stretches almost halfway into the rear passenger space and signature Audi LED-accented headlights and taillights.
2014 Audi Q5 TDI
Wed, 04 Dec 2013I've struggled with diesel technology. It's not that I have a problem with it or dislike it, but rather that I don't particularly understand what stops its wider-spread adoption. Sure, memories of rust-prone, smoky, sluggish and uneconomical Oldsmobile diesels aren't exactly easy to erase from the collective memory of the North American motoring public, but I'd think that a few years into the latest crop of clean diesels, there'd be wider adoption - or at least consumer consideration - by now.
Part of the issue is the still limited number of segments that diesels are available in. The Volkswagen Golf/Jetta TDI is finally getting a challenger in the form of the Chevrolet Cruze Diesel, and the BMW 328d is bringing something new to the entry-level sports sedan, but there are still a huge group of segments where diesel-power has no representation.
The small, luxury crossover realm is not one of those. It has the Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec, a stylish crossover with a silky-smooth 2.1-liter, turbodiesel four-cylinder that can return the kind of fuel economy that makes people take notice. And while the GLK250 is quite good, economy will only spread the diesel's appeal so far. People need to experience the seat-flattening torque that these mills can produce, and for that, we most humbly recommend the new 2014 Audi Q5 TDI.
