Audi R8 with 830 HP

Audi R8 is the most expensive but also one of the most luxurious cars from the range of this German manufacturer. Also, it is one of the more desirable cars for tuners such as VF Engineering, which has prepared an equipment kit for all three versions of this model (R8 V10, R8 V10 RWS and R8 V10 Plus).

The main component of the system is an Eaton TVS2300 compressor with an air-water cooling system. The package can be combined with the 5.2-liter V10 engine without additional hardware modifications, making it fully reversible. The result is 830 hp (610 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque when using 91 octane fuel. There is also a slightly cheaper package that provides 800 hp (588 kW) and costs $31,995.

VF Engineering uses a sixth generation TVS2300 supercharger that comes with Eaton’s latest generation four-blade rotor. The compressor is connected to a water-cooled cast manifold with additional cooling provided by a separate water tank and heat exchangers not connected to the engine.

VF Engineering also offers a bright green body color, which will cost an additional $3,000.

Audi stops selling the R8 V10 in Australia

The news that Audi will stop offering the Audi R8 V10 in Australia could sadden fans of this model. The German company decided to make this decision due to the reduced demand for this model and the new emission regulation rules.

Although the R8 offering in Australia will be canceled, the rest of the world will have a chance to enjoy this model. In a statement by Audi’s representative in Australia, Audi decided not to adapt the car to the new emissions and noise regulations. According to data from 2007 until today, only 681 copies of this model have been sold in Australia.

A statement from Audi Australia said: “The current generation of the Coupe and Spyder are no longer offered in Australia, for local homologation reasons. The R8 will continue to be produced for other markets. ”

The Audi R8 is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 562 hp (419 kW) and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a seven-speed DL800 dual-clutch automatic transmission. With a weight of 3,825 lb (1,735 kg), the Audi R8 reaches 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (324 km / h).
