Audi Tuner PPI Reveals Completed R8 With 580hp

[Administrator]

German Audi tuner PPI Design has released several versions of its R8 Razor GTR over the past 18 months and has now completed the project. The official unveiling happened at the Top Marques Monaco show and there really aren't many words for the exotic other than "impressive."

Thanks to a supercharger kit mated to the 4.2-liter V8, the R8's new output is 580hp at 7400 rpm and 443 ft-lbs of torque at 6200 rpm.

Weight has also been decreased significantly due in part to an all-new carbon fiber body - and a set of carbon/aluminum wheels. In total the PPI Razor GTR weights 551 lbs less than the standard R8 for a total curb weight of just 3,483 lbs. PPI claims the added power and light weight translate to a 0-62 mph sprint of 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 206 mph.

Hey Buzz the LMS bonnet alone will not help you.There is a wing surface under there that gets hit by air coming in through the air openings in front,giving ton's of down force.I am not sure if those pods feed the airbox directly as the side blades do.We want the V 10 sideblades anyways. these mods aren'too impressive in the top speed scene but on a track with turns I think you would DOMINATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See the pics of this car I posted a while ago.harrison's gallery.Sener sent me these pics to blow me away as I have been trying to impress HIM!!!!!!!!!
