Taking center stage in the pursuit of increased power, turbochargers become an upgrade to amplify the stock power rating by 100%. Alongside these turbochargers, various other components such as fuel systems, exhaust manifold, air intake, intercoolers, and a water meth injection kit work in harmony to enhance the engine’s force. The meticulous replacement of these parts exemplified in the Power Division`s video demonstrations highlights the precision involved in crafting this vehicle.

2022 Audi E-Tron GT Finally Makes its Debut https://www.carztuning.com/2021/02/2022-audi-e-tron-gt-finally-makes-its-debut/ https://www.carztuning.com/2021/02/2022-audi-e-tron-gt-finally-makes-its-debut/#respond Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:04:30 +0000 https://www.carztuning.com/?p=14196 Audi had been working on enhancing its EV lineup in light of upcoming emissions standards and the global fight against climate change. The German auto manufacturer has revealed the 2022 Audi E-Tron GT after showcasing the vehicle earlier in the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. Back then, a concept car was shown with its flashy design and attractive looks.

Fortunately, Audi went against the standard and introduced the E-Tron GT with only slight changes to the design. Usually the production version differs from the one shown at auto shows.


The E-Tron sedan comes in two versions. There is a 4-wheel drive Quattro GT variant and then the much sportier RS E-Tron GT tuned by non other than Audi Sport.


Exterior

At first glance, this sedan looks like a dream come true for most car enthusiasts. It is very low to the ground, with a dominant hood and sloping roof joining in with the rear. The aggressive lines are a nice touch but so are the sleek headlights. In the rear, the taillights fill the canvas with the rear diffuser finishing the look. There is no exhaust pipe since the GT is an all-electric four door coupe. The E-Tron GT does not look like an Audi at all but whatever they are doing we love every inch of it. The car is a direct rival to the Tesla Model S, so expect more than a few upgrades.


Powertrain


Audi has been working on improving its EV range and bringing it on par with the competition. As such, the E-Tron GT gets a 92 kWh battery of which only 85 kWh is usable and the rest is saved for use in emergency situations. The EPA estimated battery range is 238 miles on a single charge for the GT version. The RS on the other hand is good for only 232 miles.

Charging ports are available on both sides of the front fender and fast charging is also available which fills up the battery from 5 to 80 percent in 23 minutes.


The dual motor setup allows 469 hp taking the car from 0 to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds. The sportier RS variant does the same in 3.3 seconds.


Availability


The 2022 Audi E-Tron GT shall be available in the Spring of 2021 with prices starting from $99,900.

Audi R8 Spyder with Wide Body Kit and One-Off PURR Wheels, Installation by Infinite Motorsport https://www.carztuning.com/2017/12/audi-r8-spyder-wide-body-kit-one-off-purr-wheels-installation-infinite-motorsport/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/12/audi-r8-spyder-wide-body-kit-one-off-purr-wheels-installation-infinite-motorsport/#respond Thu, 07 Dec 2017 16:36:34 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13172 The Japanese based tuner Liberty Walk is well-known for its extravagant and exaggerated body kits, fitted on different supercars like Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren or even Porsche. However, there are also “small” yet powerful sports cars like the Audi R8 Spyder, recently seen wearing the tuner`s signature on the body.

More than that, this agile and super-fast sports car from Audi is also coming with the massive PURR wheels while increase its stance and provide better grip.

As we can depict from the media gallery below, the Audi R8 Spyder in question is coming with enhanced looks, thanks to the front and rear fender add-ons, new suspension system and new PURR wheels. The installation process has been carried out by Infinite Motorsport, a local PUR dealer that handles custom builds.

Besides the Liberty Walk wide aero kit, the wheels are the sports car`s other attraction. In this case, we are dealing with the forged-aluminum ‘Luxury Series I’ LX04, sized 19 x 9 and 20 x 12.5 front and rear, respectively.

The wheels also come with extended concave profile and are powder coated with matte anthracite face and gloss anthracite lip. Their center caps are also made of forged carbon composite.

The wheels, wide fenders and modified front and rear usually announce a series of modifications under the hood. However, for this case, we do not have any details on that matter.

So this lad here might be coming with the standard 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 engine, with 540 horsepower, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. In the R8 Spyder Plus, the same engine produces 601 horsepower and a standstill done in just 3.2 seconds.

In case you own a gorgeous Audi R8 Spyder and want some insane modifications, you can also get it to a famous aftermarket shop and have it customized with the Liberty Walk wide aero kit and some cool wheels from PUR tuner. Enjoy the media gallery!

Pump Your Audi RS5 Coupe with Wheelsandmore`s Power Stage 1 & 2 https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/pump-audi-rs5-coupe-wheelsandmores-power-stage-1-2/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/pump-audi-rs5-coupe-wheelsandmores-power-stage-1-2/#respond Mon, 27 Nov 2017 17:37:26 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13106 Ever since their arrival on the market in 1999, the aftermarket technicians from German based tuner Wheelsandmore have been customizing exquisite models from different famous carmakers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Bentley or Audi.

And as the name suggests, there are more than a couple of wheels involved when dealing with some series mods. For instance, the below Audi RS5 Coupe needed more than some visual tweaks, so the guys over Wheelsandmore decided to add some serious punch as well.

What I like about a professional tuner is that it offers the correct prices. In this case, the power programs involved start from 2,500 Euro in the “mild” 498 HP package and can go up to 4,000 to 5,000 Euro in the Stage 2 performance upgrade.

So let`s add some details on both power stages.

Stage 1 comes with an ECU remapping and high-performance air filter, which makes the Audi RS5 Coupe churn out no less than 498 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, squeezed out from the same 2.9-liter TFSI V6 engine.

Stage 2 is more powerful with the new weight-reduced flap exhaust system and some other new mechanical stuff, ensuring an extra 54 horsepower and 80 Nm of torque. This makes the Stage 2 output a total of 513 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque, which is not quite bad at all.

As for the new mechanics, the engineers over Wheelsandmore aftermarket shop have also added their finest F.I.W.E. wheels, sized 20 x 9 and 20 x 11 front and rear, respectively. The wheels are also wrapped in 275/30 standard tires, with optional 295/25 tires also available. Both work hand in hand with the new adjustable lowering springs or coilover suspension with adjustable height from the famous KW tuner.

The smashing Audi RS5 Coupe by Wheelsandmore can be detailed in the media gallery below. Stay tuned and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

Limited-Run Audi Q7 by ABT Sportsline Kicks-Off https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/limited-run-audi-q7-abt-sportsline-kicks-off/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/limited-run-audi-q7-abt-sportsline-kicks-off/#respond Wed, 01 Nov 2017 13:43:46 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13052 ABT Sportsline is well-known for its dedication in customizing Audi models. Now practically being “adopted” by Volkswagen Group, the aftermarket shop has the challenging task of providing the newest models with more aggressive looks and performance upgrades.

It is exactly happened to the 2018 Audi Q7, the model receiving a handful of updates which increase its massive and intimidating body style. The task should have been an easy one, given the car`s stock advanced aerodynamics.

Ironically, ABT Sportsline has not prepared the below Audi Q7 for the 2017 SEMA Auto Show, yet will still be unveiled in Las Vegas at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

This special edition is limited to just 10 examples and comes with a bespoke carbon fiber, comprising a front skirt, roof-mounted spoiler, fender extensions or rear diffuser with custom muffler and pipes. Here and there, a keen eye would also observe the carbon fiber touches on the front lip, grille and rear skirt. The new aero kit is complemented with a new set of 22 x 10 alloy wheels courtesy of renowned tuner Vossen Wheels and finished in Stealth Grey.

The customizations continue inside the cabin. For this special model, the aftermarket specialists have chosen some fine materials, like Alcantara inlays on the sports seats, ABT Sportsline logo, as well as the ‘1/10’ badge on the door sills and dashboard. Just like on the outside, the carbon fiber elements are also present on the dashboard, gearshift knob or seat panels.

Just like most of their bespoke Audi models, ABT Sportsline have left the engine intact. This means the Q7`s 4.2-liter V8 pot still develops the stock 350 horsepower and 440 Nm of torque, which is not bad at all, considering the massive body style.

You can find more details with the Audi Q7 by ABT Sportsline in the media gallery below! Enjoy and don’t forget to share your impressions with us!

Even so, there is still room for significant improvement, and dedicated tuner companies like ABT Sportsline have created the perfect programs for all kind of Audi models.

It is also the case of the below S4 Avant, a beautiful model that still needed some visual improvements. For that, the German specialists from ABT have added a few touches.

The new body parts refer to the new add-on at the front lip and grille, followed by carbon fiber fender inserts, adjustable suspension springs, updated rear skirt with muffler, all complemented by the choice of 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the new touches are limited, however they do stand out. We are looking here at the integrated entrance lights, or matching floor and trunk mat sets.

As for the car`s performance, we also have good news for those wanting a power boost. ABT Sportsline are the best on such matters. Their S4 Avant is now capable of churning out a good 425 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, quite significant from the stock 354 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.

In the stock form, the Audi S4 Avant is capable of running the 0 to 100 km/h straight line in 4.7 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h. However, even if the official performance figures weren’t yet provided, we expect around 4.3 seconds in the modified form.

The car`s strongest point is the several other mechanical stuff line the new stainless steel exhaust system with carbon double tailpipe trims, airflow adjustment, and ECU remapping, all adding a significant power increase.

In standard conditions, the Audi R8 churns out 540 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque, but with the new power kit is now capable of something like 610 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque, which is quite impressive.

Those owing a 1998 Audi TT or TT Roadster and want to add some interior customizations and don’t know where to address to, then the German specialists from Vilner tuning company might provide the best solutions in that matter.

Audi R8 V10 Spyder with Power Upgrades by FOSTLA https://www.carztuning.com/2017/04/audi-r8-v10-spyder-power-upgrades-fostla/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/04/audi-r8-v10-spyder-power-upgrades-fostla/#respond Sat, 08 Apr 2017 11:58:03 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=12528 In case you own an exquisite Audi R8 V10 Spyder and want to make it even more powerful that it already is, then you should know that there are tuners willing to offer some one-off customizations for the right money.

And when I say the “right money” I mean that you could get a completely new car with it. Let`s say around $16,105, almost the price for a brand-new 2017 Ford Focus, which can be had for $16,775. If it is worth the money or not, it is up to you to decide.

However, considering the list of interesting mods, I think the price is a real bargain, particularly since we are dealing here with a very expensive sports car like the R8 V10 Spyder. The car`s main highlight is the power kit added under the skin.

The tuner`s power kit comes with a BMC Performance air filter, PP-Performance upgrade and custom-built exhaust system. This brings the power to a total of 614 horsepower, quite significant from the stock 518 horsepower.

As for the visuals, this Audi R8 V10 Spyder by FOSTLA also looks impeccable with the new body wrap, in the shape of the matte fold-chrome vinyl, tinted windows and lighting units, complemented with the new glossy black alloy wheels.
