Chromed MTM Audi R8 makes its annual parade to Monaco

Wrapping a supercar in vinyl meant to look like chrome has been played out as a look among the chic sheiks and dapper rappers, but the MTM Audi R8 deserves another look as it arrives at Top Marques Monaco simply because its mirror finish is the real thing. In addition to giving the R8's aluminum skin a polish to perfection -- which reportedly took 700 hours of labor -- the German tuning shop threw a couple of turbochargers on the V10, boosting the output to 777 hp. It'd be fun to drive, but hell to clean.
