I really love all Audi models so i have been waiting to see what they have to show at SEMA this year . I haven’t managed to get to much infos regarding this Audi R8 but i hope you’ll enjoy the pictures.
The People from autoblog come with some ideas about Audi R8 modified by APR :
If we had to guess, we’d say the engine’s ECU has been massaged by APR for a few extra horsepower. Behind the custom wheels appears to be a set of upgraded Brembo brakes with drilled rotors and the APR logo on the caliper. The two-tone paint scheme actually makes the R8 look better than it already did.
It is only the second appearance of Tune VIP Auto Salon Inc at SEMA . VIP AUTO specializes in modifying luxury cars and importing products that are not available in the U.S.
VIP modified the suspension of the LS 460 with a Dakota Digital Air Ride Management System. The car rides on 22-inch Wald Portofino wheels with Brembo Brakes 15” Rotors 8 Piston Front, 4 Piston Rear.
