Η xXx Performance κάνει σαύρα το Audi R8

15:41 7/8/2014 - Πηγή: AutoBlog

Η xXx Performance έπιασε στα χέρια της ένα Audi R8 και το…άλλαξε αρκετά, με την εξωτερική του εμφάνιση να μοιάζει με αυτή του Need for Speed.

Ο γερμανικός βελτιωτικός οίκος, με έδρα το Μπόχουμ, μας έχει συνηθίσει σε τέτοιες φανταχτερές μετατροπές, με το R8 να είναι 40 χλστ φαρδύτερο εμπρός και 70 χλστ. πίσω. Πατάει σε νέες 20άρες ζάντες της Schmidt, της σειράς FS-Line, ενώ έχει χαμηλώσει υπερβολικά πολύ το ύψος του αυτοκινήτου, σε σημείο που είναι πρακτικά αδύνατο να κυκλοφορείς στους δρόμους.

Audi R8 wasn’t only lowered into the tarmacs but is also expanded to more than 2 meters in width. The front fenders and the rear valance are individually designed and built in small batch. The aim is an outstanding car design – made to order. Wide body transformations with their spacious wheel arches will be filled with matching wheel- and tire conversions. br Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;" /br Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.63039779663086px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;" />Only experienced and gifted craftsmen can do such kind of job. The company Schmidt GmbH in Germany is one of them (www.GERMAN-WHEELS.com). In northern Germany they are producing bespoke German Tuner wheels. Most of their wheels are modular and equipped with Radinox lips. All these rims are designed and tested for the use at a steady speed of 150mph and faster on the endless German “autobahn”.
This Audi is such an individualized car. The R8 was modified at Triple-X in Bochum. These experts have modified the front and rear wheel arches to take deep dished wheels. Schmidt GmbH produced the set of concave and dished FS-Line wheels. The split rims are designed flush with the wheel arches.
The body is widened by 40mm (front) and 70mm (rear). It rolls on Hankook tires S1 Evo 305/25R20 in combination with 235/30R20 at the front. Mounted on wheels 9,5Jx20et6 (front) and 12,5Jx20et2 (rear). The wheels come with Radinox lips in 5,5” (rear) and 4” (front) assembled on deep concave FS-Line rim centres. The Exhaust sound might be silenced by a throttle system.
