By all accounts, the Audi R8 Spyder should be a bad car. It’s got more weight, thanks to bracing added to keep the body from flexing in the absence of a roof, and rides on 20% softer springs so as not to alert you to the lost rigidity.
However, what you end up with is a 5.2-liter V10 concerto of pure Lambo-like ecstasy on a lot less money than the Gallardo.

For Canadian tuners SR Auto, this was the ideal starting point to create Project Speed Walker, which starts with PUR 4OUR Monoblock 20-inch wheels and ties everything together with a carbon fiber bow.

The V10 heart of the R8 is tweaked with a new carbon fiber air intake, a Miltek exhaust system, both tuned to work in combination with an APR ECU update.

Inside the Spyder, SR has used a PPI carbon fiber steering wheel, as well as MA Carbon center console and shift circle.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
