Audi S5

The OETTINGER engineers presented the S350, a tuning programme for the Audi S3 8P with up to 350 PS and 470 NM torque from the exclusive class leader from Ingolstadt. The standard all wheel drive together with Oettinger’s sports suspension and wheel/tyre combination provide a further noticeable improvement to the vehicle dynamics.

Also the rest of the programme is more than convincing – Highly polished stainless steel exhaust systems from the turbocharger back with a distinctive sound, adjustable sports suspension as well as up to 19“ rims.

The engine modifications of the Oettinger S350 are:
* OETTINGER turbocharger
* Recalibration of the engine management - via Directport
* V-max limiter open
* OETTINGER motorsport catalytic converter
* OETTINGER front- and main silencer
* OETTINGER rear silencer
* OETTINGER high pressure fuel pump

The OETTINGER exhaust parts are manufactured in high grade polished stainless steel. With a larger bore Ø70mm. For a sporty sound and more power - with throttle valve! The wheels are the new Type RXX shadow with its typical 5 spoke design. You can discover the OETTINGER S3 programme online.

The German tuning specialist TurboArt has modified the Audi S4 to produce more than 700 horsepower with its B5 Audi RS4.

The B5 Audi RS4 now only weighs a little more than 3,330 pounds. Modifications include a Bilstein B16 PSS9 suspension, Dunlop SportMaxx GT rubber and blacked-out BBS CH BE wheels. Although the tuner doesn’t divulge the specific engine specs, you can assume TurboArt has been true to its name and added a more powerful turbocharger system to the Audi sport sedan.

Inside, the vehicle was mostly stripped and features new Recaro bucket seats and a full roll cage.

TurboArt recorded its version of the S4 sprinting to 186 mph in a mere 26.94 seconds at the Papenburg racetrack in rainy conditions.

High-quality technology, 1st class materials and loads of space: The Audi A6 Avant, C5 series, produced between 1998 and 2004 still remains highly coveted. The practical station wagon is still equally popular amongst fashion-conscious heads of family and long-distance commuters. Here the new LED rear lights from in.pro.

are ideal for upgrading, in order to give the appearance of the car a small, but fine difference. A car of the upper middle-class range should not of course be flamboyant, which is why the accessory specialists at in.pro. have used muted red for the “glass”. With the two transparent inserts, and particularly with the LED optics when switched on, the rear lights still differ visibly from the original and give the everyday car more pep.

Even in security the accessories of in.pro. also score points, and this is particularly important with cars which are driven by several people or families. When installed as braking lights, the light-emitting diodes are activated approx. 30 times quicker than light bulbs and thereby in many cases allow the driver behind you to slow down in time, before causing an accident.

Large limousines often suffer from a lack of sportiness, and their ex-works image isn’t especially “wiry”. This is why tuning specialist RDX RACEDESIGN took on the Audi A8 D2, and with the help of an aerodynamic kit, it’s bringing out the dreadnought’s sporty potential.

In the front end, a RDX RACEDESIGN front bumper spoiler (EUR 599) – intended for usage with a current single-frame grille (also available from RDX RACEDESIGN for EUR 149) – including a bonnet cowl, makes for a “mean look” in the style of the current model, giving others a real shock in the rear view mirror when the facelifted old A8 appears. The much sportier and more individual look is further enhanced by original Audi S6 daytime running lights, which can be fitted left and right in the air intakes. For the air intakes, RDX RACEDESIGN also offers additional grille attachments. Customers can choose between four different grille designs (”silver” design included free of charge). “Turbo-Style” side skirts (batch price EUR 129.95) provide for a lower appearance and a uniform progression of the front spoiler design. In the rear end a RDX RACEDESIGN rear bumper (EUR 299) provides for an especially muscular appearance. It is delivered upon request with four kinds of grille attachments (available here in “silver” design free of charge).

The diffuser section is likewise perfect for contrast colour painting. The rear bumper is delivered without exhaust tailpipe extensions. Openings can be cut as desired to one’s own exhaust systems and perfectly adapted to individual needs.

The complete RDX RACEDESIGN aerodynamic kit for the Audi A8 D2 is available for a price of EUR 925 (plus grille and optional S6 daytime runnning lights). A price advantage of over EUR 100!

All RDX RACEDESIGN components display excellent custom-fitting, good paintability, and are of course TÜV tested and certified.

426 kW (580 hp) and 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) of torque – with its twin-turbo V10 and quattro permanent all-wheel drive, the Audi RS 6 is a car without equal. It drives like a supercar thanks to its superior performance and thrilling dynamics, yet offers all of the everyday utility of a large business sedan.

The engine of the new Audi RS 6 is a high-tech work of art. The 4,991 cc V10 bundles a number of Audi’s race-winning technologies like FSI direct fuel injection, dry-sump lubrication and two turbochargers. With up to 1.6 bar of boost pressure, these provide smooth, powerful thrust and an incomparable power band: The peak torque of 650 Nm (479.42 lb-ft) is available from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm and thus nearly over the entire rev range. Peak power of 426 kW (580 hp) is generated between 6,250 rpm and the maximum figure of 6,700 rpm.

Like all Audi RS models developed and built by quattro GmbH in cooperation with AUDI AG, the RS 6 is the embodiment of power, elegance, exclusivity and perfection. But this is not enough!

Following the release of the 702hp MTM-tuned Audi RS6 M, some German tuning houses like B&B Automobiltechnik, Kicherer and ABT have created even more awesome tuning package, boosting power up. The Audi RS6 is already a fast car but that really isn’t enough in these days, right? So here are some info on each version:

Audi RS6 ABT
Power: 710hp

The ABT RS6 reachs a sweet 320km/h which it would have attained from a standstill position, going past 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds.The regular RS6 makes 4.5 seconds from naught to 100. Serving up this grateful supply of speed to ABT RS6 is the same V10 TFSI lab experiment of some 580 bhp/ 426kW standard. ABT tuned the engine to 700 bhp/ 515kW and 800Nm, from 2400 rpm right up to 6100rpm. The car then becomes more than just an outstanding athlete, but a runner of exceptional skill pulling on all four wheels.

B&B
Power: 715hp

The special race exhaust system with high performance racing catalyst, the new intake and cooling system, and remmaped the ECU are the responsable for the huge increase in power. B&B are also offering an adjustable suspension and new springs that drop the ride height by 25mm. They claimed 0-60 run in a scant 3.6 seconds – that’s 0.9 seconds quicker than the factory produced version. That’s well into supercar territory!!!

MTM
Power: 705hp

On the MTM RS6 R, the MTM engineers boost the engine power electronically to 656 bhp at 6,180 rpm. If need be, the MTM-RS6 R will run upon request at speeds of either 279, 290 or 310 km/h. The outstanding torque of now 785 Nm (production version 650 Nm) allows it to accelerate like lightning from zero to 100 km/h in an impressive 3.9 seconds. An advanced version of the MTM performance kit is in preparation, which, with a massive 702 bhp, even outshines the performance data of most super sports cars. This additional boost in performance is made possible thanks to a stainless steel exhaust system with throttle control downstream from the catalytic converter and a sports air filter. The 702 bhp kit (plus MTM guarantee) is available for € 9950. More details on the MTM RS6 R.

Kicherer
Power: 700hp

The latest entry is the Kicherer RS6, which fits in with the existing cars almost spec-for-spec, rated at 700hp (522kW) and capable of making the run to 62mph (100km/h) in just 4.3 seconds. Maximum speed of 175mph (280km/h) is limited electronically. A sport exhaust ensures the engine can breathe freely, but also tunes the output to sound like it drives. New springs lower the car by 25mm and give it a slightly firmer ride to improve handling. A new range of aero parts, all made from carbon fiber, include the side mirror shells, a front lip spoiler and a rear diffuser. Wheels are massive 22-inch alloy units wrapped in suitably large rubber. A two-tone paint job blacks out the prominent Audi grille.
