I LOVE THIS!!! Those wheels look amazin especially the wide rears. lots of respect for a 700+ hp volvo. Whats the offset on the rear wheels?

going to be an angry brick, very angry...keep it coming

indeed

I do think that a rear wing, although potentially necessary, would not flow aesthetically

this thing makes me excited for sure, nice work

agreed, ALL volvos around here have wings on them.. so i think ill drop it! and i think the wide low look ill get without the wing is just as good

Very impressive and inspiring work, I think your rear tires are as wide as stock Veyron's.
How fast is the TT V8 ? (0-60mph? hp?)

[volvo242]

hehe, thank you!

I dont know how wide the tires on the veyron is, but lamborghini and porsche use this exact tire and dimension on their badest cars

the v8 is dyno`d at 380hk and 620nm (0,55-0,6 kg boost) but ill get it dynoed again when one of the turboes is fixed (blue smoke) and the boost set at around 0,8-1 kg!

0-60mph, somwhere around 5-6 sek, hard to get it much lower as i just spin the tires, all 4 of them!
Topspeed, if the engine is strong enough, is around 360 kmt or around 220 mph

any interior shots of the audi?

[volvo242]

sorry, dont have any.. but its bone stock.. black leather interior, electric seats

[G535]

700 to 750 ish and around 900-950 nm (650-700 ft.lb)

WOW! This is gonna make Porsches and M5s look like a '83 Golf CL hahah!

[DannyE32]

wicked!

please hurry up. I cant wait any more lol

[DoWant]

Correction: Veyron's rear tires are 365 mm wide.

[xispaki]

what a beast :O

Hehe, cant agree on everything! i want big radius tires, the main reson beeing extra grip! 900+ nm needs tire surface.. And im not so fond of the huge gap someone have from the arch to the tire.

due to my sukiness in english, ill add a before and after pic! hard to explane what i did on the rear fenders..

before i swaped wheel arch, but the rear fender has been lowerd


Golf mk 1 wheel arch, raised 5 cm and has a bigger radius!



The red arrow is pointing at the part of the fender that is extended 5 cm down! (black part)

Oh nice I take my old comment back. haha I thought you ment you brought the fender arch down but now I see you raised the arch and lowered the bottom of the rear fender. Awesome!

Looks good but what rear end are you planning on running?
