About an hour ago I saw a new shape Audi TT with an Audi R8 full bodykit, front and rear bars designed to look like the R8, they even painted behind the doors to make it look like it has the Carbon fibre engine scoops down the side!!

It was clean and well done but jeez! What a fail! Apparently its seen in North Sydney a bit

To what end?? A new TT doesn't have the squat look of an R8! and i'm sure the TT maxxes out with a V6 and not a V8 or V10!! The uncarfolk wouldn't know the difference anyway? You can't parade a TT as an R8 as the one's in the know think you're a dork and the one's that don't know, well, don't know!! Definite fail......

yeah it was definitely a kit car, so still, spewin. I think it was some sort of racer. From memory it had a roll cage inside and pretty much just a seat and steering wheel for interior, but it had massive brakes on it and those rims are a 2 or three piece.
