What's the German for 'bling'?
The tuning world is already hard at work developing hotter R8s, and this is Abt’s proposal, set to appear at the Frankfurt show this Autumn.
Although there are only these drawings available at the moment, the car is said to feature plenty of carbon fibre parts, including a new bonnet. The fitment of an Abt supercharger to the 4.2 litre V8 raises power to 523bhp, which Abt estimate will reduce the 0-62mph time to 3.9 sec (from 4.6) and contribute to a top speed just a whisker under 200mph (197mph).
Supercharger means 523bhp
The car will also feature Abt’s adjustable suspension package and bespoke 20” alloy wheels.
