Anderson Germany has unveiled the new Audi R8 Hyper Black Edition.

Described as a road-going UFO, the HBE features a carbon fiber body kit with a front lip spoiler, an aggressive rear diffuser, and a massive rear wing. Elsewhere, there's tinted windows, smoked tail lights, orange brake calipers, and 19-inch alloy wheels with carbon fiber accents. Last but not least, the car is painted an exclusive color which has unsurprisingly been called Hyper Black.

Inside, the carbon fiber theme continues as the lightweight material is applied to virtually everything including the handbrake, door panels, center console, and steering wheel. Additionally, there are leather seats, Alcantara accents, and numerous orange highlights.

To give the car a little extra oomph, the tuner installed a high-flow air filter, a revised ECU, and a sport exhaust system with remote-controlled sound control valves. Thanks to these modifications, the 5.2-liter V10 engine produces 589 PS (433 kW / 581 hp) - an increase of 64 PS (47 kW / 63 hp).
