Can I buy this Audi TT tuned like an R8 in Australia yet? Or can I pay a dealer / someone to tune it?

Actually, you can buy a 2004 phaeton W12 for $20,000 , swap the engine out and have it be faster than an R8.

it’s the same as the owner of a $20k ES lancer trying to make his ride look like a $60K Evo; or a basic BA XT Falcon look like a GT or an Exec look like a HSV GTS.

However; with a bit more work to the front and rear end + a decklid you could get it to look like a mini-veyron

Aftermarket body mod complete with drill holes & adhesive residues.$20,000 for plastic,wheels exhaust & suspension kit? You must be joking.
Reminds me of Kenny Everitt’s rendition of a Hollywood hopeful interviewed re a porn film.

I think it looks pretty good, and would take it over a stock TT anyday…Not sure though if its worth paying the extra nine thousand pounds for though…

I’d rather have a new STi than that TT… that is how bad that looks.

Jct, I’d take a regular TT over this anyday. It would very embarrasing driving a TT dressed up as a R8.

A bit like Posh Spice from a distance,sort of elegant and maybe even be someone famous and beautiful,then you get close up and realize,nope all fake and no class!

I must agree – wrong wrong wrong!

Leave the R8 looking bits to the R8 please!! It is blasphemous putting parts onto a lowly TT to make it appear like an R8!!

Kind of like a Exec with an HSV bodykit.

It wouldn’t be so bad if they removed the black on the sides.
