Not trying to turn this in to a political discussion site but he's been in power less than 2 months and implemented a number of changes that he outlined in his campaign. What exactly did you expect him to do?

We should wait and see how it performs at the track before we see if the upgrades are really worth it.

Considering the standard model was already close to performance or better than supercars like the ZR1, Zonda F, and Carrera GT, it will be interesting to see what the new overboost, lighter mass and stiffer suspension will do.

480hp is enough seeing that it can already fry the gearbox.

azlan, there is such a thing as a charitable spirit. Plus a lot of that money will be eligible as a tax write off too.

This is very interesting news. Good to see carmakers still pushing the boundries for model launches even in this crisis.

But does Audi really need another take on the hatchback?

I hope this car has some serious performance mods to justify its 'special' tag. I've seen Hurst do much better than this before.

Not surprising as most of ASMA's kits are inspired by sea creatures. Still looks good but black is no good in the desert.

Option article - translated into English on the quad charged R35 GT-R. Also some information on their ECU upgrades that should be available soon.

is it just me or does the translated version make less sense than the Japanese version? (and I don't even read/speak Japanese....)

:confused:

That's a lot of money compared to an entry-level Camaro or Mustang, and lets face it, those are this car's real competition.
