Twin-Turbo Audi R8 V10- Latest Car News



It’s hard to argue with the potency of the Audi R8 5.2 FSI. With it’s 386 kW, mid-mounted, V10, the Lamborghini-derived engine is more than enough motivation for mere mortals. However, some folks out there felt slighted by the fact that Audi detuned the Lamborghini-sourced unit for its use in the R8.

Enter the folks at Heffner Performance, who decided to rectify the situation by sticking two massive Garrett GT35R turbochargers into the R8′s rear-end. The result? A 540 kW, twin-turbocharged, teutonic terror, that accelerates from 0 – 100 km/h faster than you can snap your fingers – and oh yes, those 540 kW are measured at the rear-wheels! Hefner are still busy with this project, but we’re sure they’ll be boasting about the performance figures as soon as possible.
