Remember the Storm Trooper's Ride we featured last year? Check out the 2012's revision of Exotic Mods's R8 V8, now in satin Smurf Blue. What was audibly and visually loud before, has now been improved with a cleaner and smoother look that even Papa Smurf will be proud of.
Despite the new blue proving to be flashier now, this R8 has now lost its Rieger CF rear wing in favour of a smoother rear-end and cleaner overall profile. Together with new V10 version of the CF sideblades, we think this new direction is a vast improvement over the previous Storm Trooper edition.
The R8's sensual curves are now even more apparent than ever, amplified by the frozen highlights on the semi-satin finish. A spot-on choice for the curvacious Audi. Now, obviously something has changed. The vigorous knife-edged AEZ wheels were replaced with new 20" DPEs. This set of MT-20 is a 20 spoked monoblock forged wheel were ordered in a custom offset and width. The rear items were also specified in DPE's super-concave form Totally exotic.
Breakneck speeds is nothing to shout about in an R8, even in V8 guise, but breaking the necks of bystanders is now uber easy with the R8's current state. So if you'd prefer to discretely arrive down town for a cup of coffee, then this may not be the ride to hide in.
Ever heard the saying lightning comes before thunder? Well this R8 prefers the opposite by announcing its throaty V8 rumble way before appearing on to stage and then out of nowhere, a flashing bolt of blue flashes by. This is what the Technocraft F1 Valvetronic exhaust on the R8 is designed to do. Add Volume.
This new satin blue manages to stand out no matter what lighting condition it is set in, turning everything else in its vicinity into a desaturated palette of sepia.
Definitely calling it a wonderful day, encapsuled in the luscious interior with music to the ears generated by the V8 behind you. Life looking through the surrounding view is just marvellous.
