A few months ago I stumbled across this R8 that made me view them in a whole new light. I was so in love with it that I decided I had to post it up. I mean for the price of a regular R8 you could purchase an R35 GTR, kick some serious ass, call it a day and still have a good chunk of change left over to play with. But seriously, this Audi R8 by PPI is straight evil! In all honesty, PPI is the sole reason I would purchase an R8 if I could…well that and all the CF goodies, well balanced platform, and the sex appeal that oozes off of it.

So let’s dig a little deeper. PPI Automotive Design is a German tuning company that was founded in 1997 by Dr. Benjamin Abraham. Their main focus are custom built Audis from R8′s all the way down to TT’s and Q7′s.

This particular R8 is their Razor GTR 10 and boasts a wicked carbon fiber wide-body kit that’s fully wind-tunnel tested for effectiveness. With the additional weight that PPI managed to shave off the car (250kg) they also bumped the power to an impressive 580bhp with the help of a supercharger. That translates to 62.5mph in just 3.7 sec. and a top speed of over 200 mph — as stated by Quattroholic.com

According to Speedhunters.com PPI finished off the look and feel of the Razor with a custom set of MAG11 wheels measuring in at 19×10(F) & 20×11(R). These bad boys are wrapped in 255/35(F) & 325/25(R) Michelin rubbers to help keep things planted.
