White Phoenix Audi R8 by Prior Design and Famous Parts

Posted 8th August, 2013 in Audi | Leave a comment

Ratingen-based aftermarket specialist Famous Parts has joined forces with Prior Design to create an Audi R8 program called White Phoenix.

The conversion begins with Prior Design’s GT850 wide body package, which adds 6 cm to the front and 8 cm at the rear and includes a front fascia with integrated spoiler, wider ventilated fenders, skirts, sideblades, rear quarter panels, a roof scoop and vented rear bumper with diffuser.

Colossal wheels were required to fill the new arches, so FP opted for a set of Rotiform’s BLQs, which feature matte black centres with body-coloured rims. Measuring 10 and 13.5 x 20-inches they wear 255/30 and 345/25 Continental Sport contact tyres.

Sitting on tweaked Magnetic Ride adaptive dampers, other mechanical changes include optimized ECU software, modified pipework and a stainless steel Capristo system with a remote controlled flap allowing a four-fold sound selection.

This specific car was carried out for a customer, but all pieces are available to order through Famous Parts.
