We’ve never expected that freaks out there want Audi R8 to command more horses. Yes, for those who deem V10 model too ordinary, Germany based tuner, PPI Automotive, has taken Audi R8 V10 and overhauled it as a whole. The improvements are two sided: optimizing the power to weight ratio Audi R8 V10 while simultaneously strengthen the motor, increase performance, and improve handling dynamics on one hand and enhancing the looks of the vehicle – inside and outside – on the other. And the result appears in the form of PPI Razor GTR-10 Limited Edition.
While talking about performance, the power of Audi R8 V10 has been increased from 525 to 601hp while the torque reaches 417 ft-lbs in comparison to 391ft-lbs. Engine is now mated to a modified R-tronic Gearbox. Equally impressive is the PPI Razor GTR-10 getting a sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.2 seconds, thanks to the massive 250kg reduction which is attributed to a ton of carbon fiber components, including all new doors, roof pillars, side skirts and front bumper. The tuned Audi R8 has a top speed of 335km/h.
The other modifications include a modified side skirts, rear fenders, a rear bumper, and the replacement parts include an adjustable rear spoiler and rear diffuser. Also, the engine bay features a carbon fiber cover while the trunk sports carbon fiber ram-charged air inlets. The vehicle also feature a MAG11 forged aluminum PPI 19×9-inch sized wheels wrapped with 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires upfront, while at the rear there are 20×12-inch wheels with 325/25/20 matching tires.
Additionally, PPI developed a special high-performance braking system for the Razor GTR-10 that can be identified by its orange metallic brake calipers. The height of the car is adjustable up to 1.75 inches with the help of the KW Automotive springs and a hydraulic lift system for the front axle. The carbon fiber treatment has been meted out even in the whole of the cockpit; hand-brake lever, door sill protectors, driver and radio console surround, door trims, center console inserts, and kneepad trims. Lightweight folding seats are also made of carbon fiber and bear the PPI “Sport Identity” style, which is present in the headliner, the steering wheel, shift knob, door panels and center console.
