    Looks like crap if you ask me. Very disapointed of ABT's work on it.

    The front looks like it says "I am a bad boy" and i like it. But what is this lotus-look-like bottom?!? I realy don't like it! I like the tuning of ABT, but they made a ridiculous car! I hope they will guess that this car is not good looking.

    But the power is supernatural! Ferrari and Porsche killer!

    Compressor is nice I am sure - but agree that styling sucks big time!

    Then I'm guessing it's the same as the MTM RS 4 right?
    BTW, any info if MTM is developing an insane version of the R8 ?

    Cheers!

    A photoshop and not really any technical details. Throwing a bunch of plastic on a car does not make it tuned.

    Honestly,

    I could have done a better job with the R8 if I just pooped on the Hood.

    Then supercharged it...

    Lately ABT really sucks ... they are fixed on that orange paint job ... they did that on the Q7 and now they want to make an orange R8. BTW R8 looks great stock ... you don't need body kits and stuff like that. (It's like you would try to tune a Veyron)

    How can the call that styling..? They've ruined the R8, as someone wrote ABT isn't what it was before..

    The powerincrease is nice though... little bit funny that the supercharger comes from MTM.

    Not even because Roland Mayer before creating MTM was developping software for ABT on the 5 cylinders engine as a contractor....
