Mirror Finish Audi R8


Frankfurt 2009: Yes, that is a mirror-finish Audi R8 5.2 V10

Oh how they laughed when we suggested chroming an Audi R8. Of course, our plan was to use a couple of rattle cans and a few rolls of blue tape to git er done. Right before screaming, "Hey y'all, watch this!" and launching the R8 off a cliff. But we're a bunch of crude Americans, not nearly as stylish as our European pals that don ties to take a shower. Regardless, Audi went ahead and pulled the shiny metal trigger. The all Dubai'd-out R8 now joins the ranks of such notable taste-setters as the Bugatti Veyron Autostadt special edition, gold-mirror-finish Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, Chrome SLR, etc. Yeah, we're talking smack. Partly out of jealousy, partly out of thinking what kind of a royal jackass would drive around in a mirrored car? A Kanye West-sized one, we'd think. Anyhow, "enjoy" the gallery.

Wow. And I thought owning a black car was tough to keep clean.

I love the R8. But that black part on the side always reminds me of an Orka or something.

Mirror, chrome, whatever - that's played-out already. Don't they know it's gold and jewels that are the "it" finishes? Need to get some Ingolstadt engineering in da haus!

I dont like it, it's waaaaay to flashy, and besides, it shows every single imperfection on the car.

Yah, it just looks mean! But we don't want to give up the Stang either, so...I think I just need to make more money or win the lottery, LOL!

The R8, the Ford GT, and the Aston Martin DBS are my absolute favorite supercars. I'd take them over any Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, etc
