Looking like a picture from Robin Leach's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", is this Audi R8 we did some HRE Wheels P40 Monoblock on.  The wheels are done in the satin charcoal finish which is a great contrast to the two tone Audi R8 body.  The wheels are a 19x8.5 and 19x11 which is a great fitment for the Audi R8.  This is how a true Gumball machine should look before battle!  Check out more pictures of other cars equipped with HRE Wheels at www.vividracing.com/hrewheels.

 German Tuning company, Mansory, has taken an already ridiculously rare/expensive car…and nearly doubled up the price in aftermarket add-ons.  The special edition Veyron, named the Vincero includes a new aerodynamic trim package, new wheels, LED lighting, and extra 108 horsepower, and just about everything is carbon fiber.  Mansory only built three of the special edition Veyron’s (there were only 200 total Veyron’s made between 2005-2008, and only 300 will be built total), and it will set you back a massive $985,000…on top of the price of the stock stock car (which is about $1.5 million).

Check out the pics of all the carbon fiber goodness, there’s even a video we’ve included:

Great Britian, the United Kingdom, England, are all the ways to say where one of the most important places in motorsports is located.  For years, Vivid Racing has been doing business with customers in the UK.  With our cooperation of different tuning shops, magazines, and end users, it was time to finally open up a direct agent to grow our UK clientel.  As a participant in 5 of the Gumball 3000 Rally events, the Vivid Racing brand name has been exposed to UK customers looking for high performance racing products.  We are very proud to reach into the UK market with our www.vividracing.co.ukwebsite.

About VRUK:  Vivid Racing UK is managed by UK industry insider, Darren Moseley.  After a successful career in the recruitment industry in the late 90’s, Darren decided his main passion was in the automotive industry and moved on to become an advertising sales Manager on behalf of the Porsche Club GB. For several years thereafter, he had made a name for himself and built up a strong rapport with clients in the successful club magazine and also organizing the Porsche club festivals.  He was then approached by an independent publishing company early 2005 to set up and manage the entire Advertising & Marketing division of what is now a successful International Porsche magazine.  In the four and a half years Darren had worked for the magazine, one of the clients he had worked closely with and which had stood out amongst the others was Vivid Racing. Their cars, products, knowledge & pricing were in a different league to the others, Darren often wondered why didn’t we have an automotive tuning & parts company like this over here in the UK?  The magazine he had made such a success was set to be taken over by new publishers in 2009 and with Darren’s keen eye on the tuning & parts market, (having modified all his own cars over the years, including 911’s, BMW’s and Audi’s) he realized there was a niche in the UK market, hence the phone call to Vivid Racing over in the US. With the recent takeover and changes within the magazine, Darren decided it was time to move on, and in September 2009, Vivid Racing UK was born.

With Darren’s vast knowledge, passion and contacts within the industry, coupled with the successful Vivid Racing brand, Vivid Racing UK (VRUK) aims to take the customer to an entirely different level, a level which combines price, products and services and above all, puts the customer first.
