The forged wheels can be designed and finished to order, with customers given the choose of different coatings from matte or glossy colors to hand-brushed PureMetal. The Audi R8's coachline is finished in two shades of anthracite and accented by the brand logo positioned on the sideblade. Handling and looks has been improved by a fully adjustable aluminum coilover suspension, while the 4.2-liter V8 engine has received an ECU remap. Combined with a handmade stainless-steel exhaust system with remote-controlled exhaust flaps, power has increased from 420 to 455hp. Completing the package is a matte black ceramic coating for the exhaust tips.
