Audi R8 V10 Racing Edition

Anderson Germany is famous for its customization programs for models like the Ferrari California and the Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni, but now the German tuner has spead its wings and completed a new tuning kit for the Audi R8 V10 version. The new tuning kit provides changes to the sports car’s exterior as well as its engine.

Called the Racing Edition, the new package for the R8 includes an aerodynamic kit to add extra sportiness to the ride. The aerodynamic kit includes a carbon front apron and rear spoiler for downforce improvement. Rear window bordering, a carbon diffuser, carbon mirrors, and 19" light alloy rims complete the exterior package. The interior gets carbon fiber inserts on the door trims, radio frame, ashtray, gear stick frame, hand brake knob, and steering wheel.

A new ECU software, a sports air filter, and a valve commanded sports exhaust system take off about 37 lbs from the overall weight of the R8 and transform the performance of the R8 from 525hp to 585hp.

The package from Anderson Germany is actually similar to the tuning package provided by Wheelsandmore last month. Both package contained new ECU software as well as a new exhaust system, Wheelsandmore were able to get the R8 to pump out 600hp. If we had to choose, it’s obvious we’d head to the wheel experts giving us a bit more bang for our buck.
