The V8 R8 models never got the attention of their V10 big brothers. There are several reasons for that. First of all, the V8 just is not as capable. If you want big power, go for the V10. Furthermore, the V8 fuel system taps out much faster. ...Dear Strictly Performance Motorsports, swapping an LT4 into an R8 isn't fixing it, it's dumb as f@#k

Removing the V10 from an Audi R8 and swapping in an LT4 is stupid. It's idiotic. It's moronic. Take your pick. It is a good way to troll for attention though and that is exactly what Strictly Performance Motorsports is doing here as the LT4 is not an upgrade but the exact opposite. ...Published on 12-12-2018 10:00 PM
It is important to point out that this is a full weight street trim car as in the 2.5 TFSI world people have been one-upping each other by stripping out weight and even using lighter drivers to eek out tenths. It's a bit childish but a record is a record. ...APR launches 8V RS3/MKIII TT-RS Stage 2 2.5 TFSI ECU Upgrade, APR Cast Race DP and APR Race Midpipes

The APR Stage 2 ECU Upgrade maximizes performance on the stock turbo! This upgrade requires the APR Inlet System, APR RS3 Intercooler System or APR TT RS Intercooler System, and APR Race DP with the APR Race Midpipe Exhaust System and produces 499-574 HP with 468-530 FT-LBS of torque, depending on octane. ...Published on 12-10-2018 07:19 PM
Many have questioned why the 4.0 TFSI V8 seemed limited in certain applications. Some felt the cooling system was a bottleneck and others felt the intake was a bottleneck. Either way SRM (Silly Rabbit Motorsport) is pushing the 4.0 TFSI to the next level across multiple applications. ...Published on 12-10-2018 07:10 PM
In a drag race, traction off the line is everything. If you want to improve your elapsed time you need to improve your 60 foot or short time. The rule of thumb is that every tenth the 60 foot is reduce results in a two tenth reduction in the 1/4 mile elapsed time. ...Published on 12-03-2018 10:52 AM
You might say an 11.4 @ 119 in the 1/4 mile pretty quick but once you put the RS5 in context, it's underwhelming. This 1/4 mile sprint is just a tinge quicker than a stock F80 M3 let alone a Competition version. ...Published on 11-29-2018 11:55 AM
This race is fairly predictable as the car that gains the least amount of weight from dropping its top is the McLaren 570S. Which also happens to be the lightest coupe to begin with and the fastest of this quartet. ...Published on 11-28-2018 04:05 AM
Great numbers here from Eurocharged getting getting huge numbers out of the factory 2.5 TFSI turbocharger. This Audi 8V RS3 sedan is modified with a downpipe, upgraded FMIC (front mount intercooler), and methanol injection. ...Published on 11-28-2018 01:44 AM
Automotive magazines are not what they used to be and today survive predominantly on their established relationships with automakers. Many of those automakers are not afraid to abuse those relationships as the magazines are dependent on exclusive content to stay relevant. ...Published on 11-21-2018 10:11 PM
The last time we saw the next generation C8 Audi RS7 was during Nurburgring testing early in the year. The latest test mule is a bit more fleshed out with the RS Audi style grille as well as flared fenders. ...Published on 11-21-2018 12:42 AM
Remember last month when a MKIII Audi TT-RS with this same Unitronic ECU and TCU software package ran 10.1 @ 133.31? Well, it's just shy of propelling the 2.5 TFSI into the 9's on the factory turbo as this Audi RS3 sedan shows. ...Published on 11-16-2018 10:01 PM
This is pretty impressive when you take into account how much work it takes to produce upgrades for modern German vehicles. Well, not everyone has this kind of scanning hardware or engineering development and this is what sets APR apart. ...Published on 11-16-2018 08:32 PM
Audi made a lot of new fans when they announced they would shove a twin turbocharged 5.2 liter V10 under the hood of the C6 generation RS6. They made a lot of enemies when they decided not to send the super sedan to the United States. ...Published on 11-14-2018 07:31 PM
The IS38 turbocharger is the factory VAG turbo on the MKVII Volkswagen Golf R as well as the Audi S3 2.0 TFSI. DBV2 Sport Imports modified the IS38 turbocharger calling it a V2 IS38 and the result is extremely impressive. ...
