Autocar UK on Supercharged V8 R8

[Maverick]

Hi all, Autocar reviewed my car two weeks ago and have the first press on it here: http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/...VF-Kit/250445/ .

The written article is due out next week, 23rd June. Keep an eye out for EVO and Audi Driver Magazine articles in July, both have reviewed it in the past month. Nice photos taken on a beautiful day in the southeast of England on the website of this one, click on the "extra photos" tab to see them. I sure enjoy the car, especially now with the VF Engineering additions - thanks Nik and Ed & team at APS Brackley.

I'm just about to upgrade the brakes too as I've suffered from the Audi "cheap out" on cooling vents on the discs, warped near side (passenger side) rotor. Surprise, that's the side with the cooling vents going the wrong way ! I'm putting on the Giro discs from Rennstore, will report back in a few weeks when on the Alpine tour on how they work. Regards, M

Well done Mike. Nice to have your own car featured in the glossies. The figures look impressive. I hope you're not bringing the 'race fuel' option with you at the weekend!

That's cool. Nice pictures. Too bad they didn't include the engine bay with a view of how the blower looks installed.

Hi Maverick

I read that you went for a blast on a BASE tour in France and one of the cars with your supercharged R8 was a purple GTR.

In reading he says that he JUST had your measure..any comments on cornering between cars along with performance etc.
