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 A3 will be all electric

Audi intends to produce an electric car that will be based on the next-generation platform from the Volkswagen Group, which should replace the Audi A3. This was hinted at by CEO of Audi, Markus Duesmann.

“We are moving towards the goal of becoming a 100 percent electric brand. By 2027, we want to offer a fully electric car in every segment. We recently decided to launch an additional electric entry-level model below the Audi Q4 e-tron,” said the Audi director. Markus Duesmann.

Duesmann said that Audi plans to produce 20 new models by 2025, and more than half will be electric. The arrival of the electric successor of the A3 model is expected after the appearance of the Q6 e-tron, the first model based on the new and more premium platform Premium Platform Electric, or PPE.

The new electric model will be a four-door hatchback and a four-door sedan, according to Autocar. It is expected to be based on the SSP platform, which is currently being developed under the code name Project Trinity. It should bring an improvement over the current MEB platform and offer a range of up to 700 kilometers. Also, it will enable charging up to 270 kW, which means that a ten-minute charge will be enough to cover 129 kilometers. The new electric Audi will use Volkswagen’s new Unified Cell battery technology.
