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 ...
**Over $170k into this build!!

Audi also calling in A8, S8 over sunroof issue

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

The S6 and S7 (apparently prone to potential fuel leaks) aren't the only Audis being recalled currently, as a separate recall notice has been issued for its flagship A8 luxury sedan and its high-performance counterpart, the S8.
The problem apparently revolves around the glass sunroof, which is fitted as standard and which is reportedly prone to break. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined that not only could the falling shards themselves end up injuring the vehicle's occupants, but could also distract the driver enough to cause a crash. As a result, Audi's American wing is bringing in all 2013 and 2014 model year A8s and S8s - 1,120 units in all - to have their glass sunroofs replaced free of charge.

Ten of the greatest Super Bowl car commercials of all time

Thu, Jan 28 2016

With an average of over 100 million viewers each year, the Super Bowl always has advertisers bringing out the big guns. And for those among us who don't know the difference between a safety and a touchback, those commercials can be one of the most compelling aspects of the annual ritual. Car companies, in particular, have a long history of making the most of the huge Super Bowl audience by debuting some of the most memorable advertisements that have ever aired on television. So, in preparation for the new batch we'll be seeing this coming Sunday, here's a collection of our favorites from the past. 10. Audi – The Godfather When Audi created this homage to the quintessential gangster movie to promote its newest sports car, the company managed to make a commercial that was simultaneously funny, a little bit disturbing, and most importantly memorable. 9. Maserati – Strike This one might start out slow, but it delivers not only with the wicked sound of the third-generation Ghibli's engine, but with an interesting message about hubris in the auto industry as well. 8. Nissan 300ZX Twin-Turbo – Dream Directed by none other than Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien), this dystopian spot has centers around a narrator who explains that in his dream the bad guys are unable to catch him despite their best efforts by way of street bikes, race cars, and supersonic jets. While the twin-turbocharged 300ZX car was certainly a performance powerhouse to be reckoned with in its day, the concept and execution of this one does come off a little bit campy now – but in a good way. Then again, it is a dream, after all. 7. General Motors – Robot This one is unique in that it's genuinely depressing on a profound level. Who would've thought that the simulated suicide of a lovable, anthropomorphic car-building robot who has fallen on hard times could be such a downer? 6. Nissan – With Dad Although the debut season of its new LMP1 racer didn't exactly turn out how the team hoped it would, there's no denying that Nissan's depiction of a strained father-and-son relationship that eventually leads to redemption (and the introduction of the 2016 Maxima) tugs at the heartstrings. 5. Volkswagen – Big Day A surprisingly poignant advert, this one might be low on dialogue but it certainly gets its message across. And just as the dramatic soundtrack begins to lull the viewer into a sense of security, our expectations are upended. 4.

Are future vehicular hacks inevitable?

Wed, Jul 29 2015

Before the hack of the Uconnect system in a Jeep Cherokee resulted in a 1.4-million vehicle recall, the potential software vulnerabilities in vehicles were already a hot topic with Congressional inquiries and even proposed legislation in the US. As cars' interconnected systems gain the ability to go online, they become open to a host of new threats. Automakers are trying to stop this, but it might be too late to put the genie back into the bottle. Throughout 2015, the issue of software security in vehicles has become increasingly vital. For example, the recent Jeep case wasn't even the biggest hack this year. In February, a major flaw was discovered in the BMW Connected Drive service that allowed researchers to remotely lock and unlock the doors and potentially affected 2.2 million cars. The fix was an over-the-air patch for the problem. Automakers are actively working to fix the issues. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi reportedly are using encrypted connections and firewalls in their vehicles to prevent hacking. "Absolute, 100-percent safety isn't possible," Daimler spokesperson Benjamin Oberkersch said to Automotive News Europe. "But we develop our systems, tested by internal and external experts, so they're up to date." These vulnerabilities seem to be popping up more often. A successful hack took $14 in parts from Radio Shack in one case. There was also a 60 Minutes report earlier in the year about DARPA's ability to hack into OnStar to take control of a Chevrolet Impala. Experts aren't so sure companies can contend with hackers' advancement. "The difficulty for the carmakers at the moment is the question whether they can keep pace with advances in technology, and especially hacking technology," Rainer Scholz, executive director for telematics consultant EY, said to Automotive News Europe. "We seriously doubt they can." At this point, vehicle hacks are coming more from researchers looking for holes than from those with malicious intent. Still, the vulnerabilities are definitely there. It's up to automakers to keep patching the problems before they become dangerous to drivers.
