Official: MTM Audi R8 revealed

It has long been questioned and discussed if MTM is going to modify the Audi R8. Today we can give you an answer: Yes, they will! Therefore we do not want to withhold the first pictures of MTM Audi R8 prototype. The test car is equipped with forged mtm bimoto rims which – due to their style of construction - are very light but yet rigid.

The rim sizes for front and rear axle are specially customized for the R8 and positively influence the tendency to over-/understeer. Sport tyres – so-called semislicks – with MOT approval are optionally available . The rims will be in stock in June.

great styling. I was surprised when I saw the vehicle in person. It is a lot smaller than I thought. Very TT like. The super car Audi should make should be ferrari size with their V10. Anyone else find this the same? Unfortunately, I did not get to sit in the vehicle because it was locked on the showroom floor.

Yes I completely agree with you. If it was longer and wider it would've looked even better in person.

a single colour R8 is a little strange looking. I prefer the factory looks, with the carbon sides.
