A combination of MTM and Dahlback, wow, experts without doubt, that must have been serious money.

I don't think it's the first. There was a white one in Germany I think. Completely stripped out for a full custom build. This is much better. You would never know from the outside.

I´m happy that you like my project!

Yes, it has been expensive, but it usually is when you do something new. In the beginning of july, I will fit new turbos, for more power. It´s nice when you race a sports bike with an S8, they can not understand that I´m still in their rearview mirror
´
Also the interior is being rebuilt, but I´m keeping the luxury felling, just updating.

The german car was with automatic transmission. It makes the conversion easier, but this would not last long with the power from my engine. I´ve kept the 6-speed manual from the S8, but with another clutch to handle the power. You could think it is just to lower an engine in the bay, but it is heavily rebuilt under the bonnet, to get everything fitting and working properly. Dahlbäck Racing is among the best with Audis, and they thought it was challenging

For you to know, it´s my every-day-drive.
