2012 Audi R8 GT with 1,500 hp

What to do with the car after it was destroyed in a car accident? Most of us would throw it on a scrapyard. That’s not what the guys at LeeC Parts and Scrap Life Garage think. They turned the 2012 Audi R8 GT, which was destroyed in a car accident, into a 1,500 hp beast.

The fate of this car is very interesting. After it was sold to a second owner, who only had it for six days, the car was destroyed. The front part was completely destroyed, as well as the driver’s door and the panel on the right. The Audi was kept in that condition until it was sold to a third owner from LeeC Parts and Scrap Life Garage. He thought the car was worth saving and did something very special with his team.

The 2012 Audi R8 GT is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 560 hp (412 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 kph). It has a 6-speed auto-clutch manual gearbox and AWD.

The engine upgrade was done by the company Underground Racing, which, by installing a turbocharger, increased the power of the engine to an incredible 1,500 hp. Interestingly, the car uses headlights from the Ford Mustang. And yes, it is road-legal.

Audi S1 ​​E-Tron Quattro Hoonitron

When rally driver Ken Block announced a future collaboration with Audi, a new race car was expected. However, there are no more unknowns now, as the concept Audi S1 ​​E-Tron Quattro Hoonitron is exactly what is becoming the new Gymkhana story.

It is a unique race car inspired by the legendary Sport Quattro Si Pikes Peak racing model. The design of the car was realized in an incredible four weeks, which is impressive considering that this process takes much longer. Audi designers were so excited to be part of the project, so in a short period of time they made several design proposals, each of which had the original S1 as a base. Then the winning design was chosen and, instead of producing a small model, they immediately started producing a full-size model.

Ken Block stated: “The S1 Hoonitron combines a lot of what Audi was already famous for in the nineteen-eighties. For instance, the car’s spectacular aerodynamics have now been translated into a totally modern form. I think it’s cool that the Audi designers have been inspired by their own past and uniquely transferred the car’s technologies and appearance into the present. ”

Block has already driven a car and is thrilled after the first tests, so it will be interesting to look at a new Gymkhana project called Electrikhana.
