It seems the Audi R8 is somewhat of a favourite when it comes to the World Car of the Year Awards as the 4.2-litre V8 model won the same award in 2008. The co...

    ABT do a lot of nice stuff for the VAG range :)

    They quote engine hp figures for most of their chips, but not for the R8, which is a shame.

    This car would most likely have had the full house of ABT upgrades, including bodywork, suspension, and brakes.

    Yum

    i wouldn’t have the guts to do that.

  • Bavarian Missile (.)(.)

    Who was driving ?

  • Joe Average

    My Aurion would do that.

    hahaha thrown out of what plane Joe.

  • Camski

    Alborz was, you can tell it’s his voice and he said so in his previously written article, “Full Throttle : Day 7″.

    Joe Average – I’m guessing that was said with sarcasm =P

    Having taken the C63 towards it’s 250km/h limiter with much more to come taking it way past 250 (Note – With less than 500km’s on the clock, the engine’s still a bit stiff) a tuned R8 would be simply unimaginable.

  • Joe Average

    On a desert plain,with a horse with no name,it felt good to be out of the rain(eazy to recharge my new prius).

  • Grammar Nazi

    My mirage would do that. If it were dropped out the back of a plane.

    Watch the old lawmakers in this country collectively fall down and have heart attacks at the dangerous and crazy speed that video showed you doing!!!! I can see them all now, writing letters of concern that you survived was a miracle. Funny how you didn’t spontaneously die at 101k’s or kill 100′s of people on that road. Well done :) Speed law makers, take note already.

  • Wheelnut

    What Lamborghini…? What Ferrari…? What Bugatti…?
    What Zonda…? I’d have one of these thanks

    absolutely sick – a Mercedes Benz testdriver did similar on a public Autobahn and caused an accident and death of mother and child. he got sentenced and jailed – what else

  • Maneesh

    Man oh man! We seriously have to campaign the state governments of NT and WA to build freeways between major cities and abolish speed limits on them!

    Believe it or not, Germany’s Autobahn death rate is lower than Austria’s (which has a limit of 130km/h)!

    If a country as spacious as Australia doesnt build Autobahns then who will????
