ABT Sportsline Shows Off Carbon Fiber Film Wrap For Audi R8, Q7
We've all seen cars with full-body advertising wraps; now tuner ABT Sportsline has taken the concept to its logical "modified import car enthusiast" (MICE) conclusion with a carbon fiber film wrap for the Audi R8 and Q7. The wrap is just a thin adhesive film printed and textured to be nearly indistinguishable from actual carbon fiber. And, while the treatment doesn't lighten the car like actual carbon fiber panels would, neither does it add any significant weight or drag like most MICE faux speed parts. ABT Sportsline is producing the wrap in just matte natural carbon fiber for the moment, but if sales take off the company says they may offer more colors and extend availability to the TT and A4 also.

Audi R8 Inspired Catamaran Conceptually Cruises Dubai Coast

Top speed? 110 MPH, which is damn fast on the water. Of course, the whole thing is just pixels and math at this point, but at least the Dubai-based customer means the money might actually exist somewhere to build the thing. More » -
