This PPI RAZOR GTR is their first prototype. All the carbon fiber body panels you see are the 1st ones out of their carbon fiber molds. You can see the carbon fiber doesn't have that finished glossy look to it.
Audi continues to make its upmarket ambitions known - and with this R8 customer GT car, Audi is taking dead at Ferrari's Scuderia and Porsche's GT3. Photo gallery after the jump ...
Our friend ‘Holden Man’ has once again slaved over a hot Power Mac and provided CarUpdate with an exclusive insight into what the HSV VE Maloo may (will?) look like.
Among the cars entered were a Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Carrera GT, Mansory Continental GTC, McLaren SLR Roadster and many many more exotics! Sadly one of the Murcielago Roadsters didn’t survive a short encounter with one of Dubai’s many high curbs but other than that the event went flawless.

At the January 2008 NAIAS in Detroit, Audi showed an R8 sports car with a V12 TDi diesel engine. Derived from the race engine in the Le Mans-winning R10, the 500-hp (373-kW) 1000-Nm (739 ft.lb) production unit will see its first application in the production Q7 SUV.
So what does an rich bored Russian do in the middle of the day? Yes, you guessed it, donuts in his Audi R8 in broad daylight on public roads. Check out this video of a man taking out his Audi R8 on a public road and just letting it loose.
The Audi R8 Convertible Spider should debut at the 2009 Frankfurt auto show and will go on sale in 2010. The Audi R8 Spider will feature (as seen in the spy video) a fabric soft top and will be powered by the same 4.2 liter v8 engine that develops 420 hp and 430 Nm of torque. Listen to the twin-clutch R-Tronic gearbox quickly bang through the gears as the R8 approaches corners!!
The neon green monster is said to be powered by a twin-turbo version of its already-potent V10, producing in excess of 600 horsepower -- Murcielago-style numbers. We're going to make an assumption that it will outperform all flavors of the R8, ensuring that the new Audi supercar does not step on the raging bull's hooves.

When the sheets were pulled off of the Audi R8 V12 TDI at the NAIAS in Detroit this week - Audi’s latest study model, the sound of jaws hitting the floor was impressive.
Audi has halted R8 development of the higher-powered twin-turbo Lambo V10 from the RS6; there have been fires in prototype development and other options – namely a naturally aspirated V10 – are now most likely. This year’s V12 diesel concept car (image, far right) points to the likelihood of a spider sports car, powered by the 6.0-litre bent twelve delivering a traction-troubling 493bhp and 738lb ft. Sounds mad, but Audi is deadly serious about putting this into production.
Checkout this sick Supercharged Audi R8 by MTM video. That engine sounds AMAZING due to the MTM exhaust valves which regulate the exhaust note. 0-60mph (100km/h) in 3.9 seconds (versus stock: 4.9 seconds). This car was tested it up to top speed 301 km/h on Autobahn.
The Audi R8, fresh off its Le Mans 24 hour safety car debut, will now take on the same role in the DTM Race Series (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) and the slick R8 will make a second debut serving as a racing taxi as well.
Rumours are that this is the Lamborghini Gallardo V8, spotted on the Nürburgring. The exhaust note is somewhat similar to that of the Audi R8 and recent spy photos of the rear reveal smaller exhaust pipes than on the V10 Gallardo.
Vicki Butler Henderson squeals with delight at the plentiful oversteer action offered up by our E-Series HSV Clubsport R8, sold in the UK as the Vauxhall VXR8. The really good news is that this means a Top Gear review can’t be too far away…
