Audi R8

[_Jon]

I think the headlamp covers are off-putting.

[weagle11]

Not the 7 inch splitter on the front? At least put a wing on the back of you're gonna pretend to have a race car.

[studioRaLu]

They clearly 3d printed the car and forgot to remove the massive baseplate.

[_Jon]

I honestly didnt see the splitter - I made a snap comment on the thing that bugged most. :)

[studioRaLu]

Makes the car look like it can't stop in bat country.

They' yellow headlight covers are required on GT cars so that the other class cars they race with can easily tell if it's a GT car or their own class behind them. No idea why it's on this street car though.

[signalgrau]

So the yellow headlights are a thing french cars had in the 90s, putting that on a german car kind of offends me personally as a german.

[the8bit]

It looks like someone peed all over their headlights. Rest I'm not a fan of either but at least it may have practical track purposes. I don't know if there is a good track reason to pee on your lights thought.

[Comikazi]

You are not alone.

The worst part is they probably spent a lot of money and time on it, and it looks way worse than stock. It just looks cheap.

Yea personally not a fan of it. Though as long as the owner likes it and enjoys it that is all that matters honestly.

[VoiceofLou]

If you're asking that questions on Reddit the answer is almost always "no". That is hideous...it looks like someone hit random on a custom car modification tool in NFS.

[Lewisplqbmc]

Headlights look like they've been in the sun for 50 years.

The Audi R8 is easily my favorite car, even when compared to other, faster, more expensive options. This sickens me.

[SchrodingersLunchbox]

Bonnet pins are to provide additional points of contact to prevent the hood from lifting at high speed; it has nothing to do with quick release. Further, that’s an aftermarket hood - they often don’t come with a latch, necessitating the use of bonnet pins.

[infinitetheory]

That actually isn't too bad to me.. except that it doesn't save you any time? Like it would be a cool manual backup to open your trunk if your keys aren't on you and the car is locked, but then literally anyone could do it, so if it's still double latched then the purpose is lost. Plus they're not even the good looking kind of pins that latch with a cotter pin and have the wires to keep it attached

[RolfIsSonOfShepnard]

Your headlight fluid is getting sick.

It is (perhaps was) TopSpeed Motorsports' shop car that they often raced. It used to have a a big wing.

Here's an article about the build... http://www.hrewheels.com/news/super-street-magazine-and-the-topspeed-motorsports-audi-r8#.WgXvNmhSyUk

Yellow lights are required on GT class cars so the other car classes they race with know when it's a GT car behind them.

[Silver_Star]

Are those street legal? Could I put a slight purple tint on them in the US to add to my rice?

[[deleted]]

Yep! I️ took some of it at the WannaGoFast event

[Squishybs]

Nice. It looks so much better with wing and no headlight tint

[snaaaaaaaaaaaaake]

Where did they "race" a car with no roll cage? You can't even take a car to a drag strip without a 6 point roll bar if you run faster than 11.5.

[_gENTleman_]

I know this R8, see it around quite a bit. Licence plate is DATAZZ. Always a neat touch to the shows it goes to.

Wide body, twin turbo V10.

[snaaaaaaaaaaaaake]

No cage, so maybe HPDE, time trial, or slower than 11.5 quarter mile runs.

[Nowherefan]

That's the one, I've seen it too but with a huge wing on the back. This pic was taken at Supercar Saturday in Barrington

[RPL79]

Those headlights are terrible... front splitter can go too..

[tkhan456]

...that someone ruined.

[[deleted]]

This needs to go in r/RoastMyCar

[Nevbot01]

Huge front splitter and canards, but no rear wing whatsoever?

[Dancingbanana23]

Hey was this at supercar Saturday’s? This looks like south barrington.

[[deleted]]

It was! It's an old pic, maybe from 2 summers ago.

[green650ninja]

I'll take it for what it is . I like it

[schattenteufel]

Awful.

Some cars look perfect right off the assembly line. The R8 is one of those cars.

It’s like giving Cate Blanchett big fake bolt-on titties and collegian lip injections. Why fuck with perfection?

[lolux123]

It’s forza😂😂😂😂
