Well, isn't this the most interesting tuning project we've seen all week?! It's an Audi R8 that's been force-fed by the tuner xXx Performance. What makes it interesting is that it's not the full Lamborghini Gallardo with Audi badges, it's just your average 4.2-liter V8, ordschool technology that started life in an RS4.
But instead of the usual 420 hp or so, twin turbochargers bolted onto the V8 ensure it makes 707 hp. 0 to 100 km/h is dealt with in just 3.6 seconds and it will reach 300 km/h in 15.8 seconds. Now that's impressive!

As a tuning project, xXx's R8 is a bit like Frankenstein's monster. There's carbon fiber hear and there, the larger side air blades from the V10 model and the ugly two-tone alloy wheels that Senner put on the Juke Nismo yesterday.

So yeah, we wold definitely skip the wheels and get just the turbos!

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.
