Is it because I is green?
Is it an act of sacrilege to paint an Audi in Porsche GT3 green? We’re not sure, but this MTM tweaked R8 will certainly stand out in a crowd.
The Porsche paint job serves to accent a package of black carbon aero parts added by MTM, including a front splitter, sill extensions and rear diffuser. There’s also a set of 20ins forged alloy wheels that add to the track-inspired effect.
To make sure the R8 has the grunt to match its go-faster looks, MTM has added a kompressor that lifts the 4.2-litre V8’s power from 420 to 560bhp. Torque is up by a third to 580Nm according to the company’s figures.

MTM can also offer R8 owners a new exhaust system with black ceramic-coated tailpipes and an adjustable suspension system that allows you to raise or lower either end of the car by 40mm for speed humps and parking ramps.
The company will also provide a kit to boost Audi’s V10 engine to 560bhp, but this is done with an ECU upgrade and extra hardware isn’t required.
