Too Beaucoup? The Chromed-Out Audi R8
This chromed-out version of Audi's awe-inspiring R8 supercar has sparked debate amongst enthusiasts after having been spotted in the UK. The one-off vehicle, finished either in full chrome or polished aluminum depending on whom you ask with black intakes and sideblades is certainly an eye-catcher. This on a 414 hp car that in its factory form Autoblog decreed has "all the crowd-stopping presence of Heidi Klum walking down Wall Street wearing only a pair of Pradas and a matching handbag." Meanwhile, an outrageous convertible version of the R8 was recently spotted co-starring with Robert Downey Jr. while filming the upcoming Iron Man sequel.

Does chroming it make it very hot inside while parked, or does it have just the opposite effect (reflecitng heat?)
I would possibly consider doing this to my DB9, here in Beverly Hills - would make an awesome statement!

I love it. For all my simple tastes, incongruously, I love shiny things.

The styling of the R8 definitely lends itself better to a chrome finish than some. See fairly hideous examples: http://www.chromeautos.com/

this is just a joke.
i would drive a car that looked like a junker if the inside was sweet.
if you park this car in the wrong place jealouse wankers will ruin the finish for kicks.
who needs it except ego trippers?
