The PPI R8 and PPI R8 Razor – automobile lifestyle in carbon fibre
With the launching of the R8, Audi heats up against rivals Porsche, Ferrari and Bentley vigorously providing stiff competition. The Swabian, German tuners PPI Automotive Design GmbH, customize Audi’s flagship sportscar by stoking up the fire with even more coal going that extra mile by providing an enhanced look combined with improved driving dynamics. A wind tunnel-tested aerodynamic kit of carbon fibre in combination with a performance enhancement and special lightweight magnesium wheels in 19-inch dimensions provides measurably improved appearance whether on the race track or the elegant promenade of the elite jet set.

Optimised performance for better resilience and increased driving pleasure
The stage 1 kit produces an increase power output of the original motor from 309kw/420hp to 348kw/460hp and increases torque from 430Nm/317lb-ft to 465Nm/343lbs-ft. A performance kit with durable components designed by PPI consists of corrosion resistant stainless steel sport rear muffler with throttle system. Just beginning at low-end torque, the resulting sound signals pure power, but with high speeds one experiences an even more imposing sound. Matched to this is a complete optimised engine management plus sport air filter providing the unit with extra breathing abilities. Results are a top speed of 305 km/h and sprinting from 0-100 km/h in only 4,4 seconds; a two-tenths decrease versus standard production.

There seems to be a push to upgrade the exhaust system on the R8. Everything from more power to better sounding. Of all the modifications made, which after market exhaust seems to be the one most people are going with, and are they happy with their choices and what were their reasonings. I have yet to take delivery, and I would like the Dealer to install the exhaust before I take delivery. I would also go with tinted windows and 3M paint protection film on the front (I have it on my RS4 and Mini Cooper, and it's wonderful). Do I need to start another Thread?

It is my experience that most performance car owners do the following:
1. install free flowing exhaust / sound preference by owner
2. cold air induction sytems
3. motor control performance chips
4. if super or turbo charged..new pulleys to UP the boost

Each increases the performance if installed correctly and in conjuction with the other upgrades = more fun or more trouble.
