This crazy machine is the flagship tuning project of a German tuning company called xXx-Performance. We’ve never heard of them before, but if the R8 is anything to go by, we are going to bring you plenty more.
The starting block is a brand new 2013 Audi R8, easily distinguished by the new headlights and taillights.
A widebody kit has been added for extra impact and as you can see from the two other R8 beside it, it’s made by Prior Design and tailored to fit this project.
At the back, the lower bumper has been stuffed with exhaust pipes, four large ones, probably about 10cm in diameter. The chrome blue R8 V10 also makes a whopping 650 hp and has been fitted with extra-large wheels and tires.
xXx Performance are masters of their trade, taking Audi's R8 from 911 fighter into supercar territory. No rapper will ever be ashamed to park this thing next to a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Fitted with their widebody kits, quattro machines have been chromed, cruised Monaco and even went to the Gumball 3000 rally.
Even if you guys just came here for the cool color combinations, it's perfectly alright with us, since a slammed R8s deserve all the attention they're getting.
xXx got the stance it wanted from the R8 by using a widebody kit that ads 40mm at the front and 70mm at the back. One car also rolls on massive Schmidt 20-inch wheels with orange spokes and a chromed rim.
No word on performance yet, but since this R8 has four exhaust pipes, which no model has any more, we can safely guess it's got the old V8 from the RS4. xXx Performance has already announced a twin-turbo engine kit for the 4.2-liter that increases output from 420 hp to 707 hp. In this case, the 0 to 100 km/h dash is dealt with in just 3.6 seconds and it will reach 300 km/h in 15.8 seconds.
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.
