MTM, those crazy Germans who built the twin-engine, 740-hp Audi TT Bimoto, brought their own version of the R8 to the Dubai Motor Show. Although visually subtle, a turbocharger system has been added to the 4.2-liter V8 for a total of 888 bhp and 610 lb-ft torque. 0-60 mph can be achieved in 3.0 seconds flat, and top speed is limited to 223 mph. MTM built the car, fittingly named the R888, as a one-off for a European customer, but they will gladly build more of them for a mere €280,000 each.

Yup, super sick. Obviously means that 0-60 is under 3 secs. That is just unreal. Talk about being pushed into your seat. So fabulous.

This car is crazy... love the matte black finish, why is this colour so popular now? It looks really good but I see a lot of riced civics with this paint job? First thing that came to mind is that they want to stay stealth??
