Audi R8 Receives A 1,500-HP Twin-Turbo Pack
by AutoExpert | 10 January, 2022
The owner of this 2020 Audi R8 Decennium wanted to make the German supercar more exciting for himself, so he had it custom-built to meet his needs. Therefore the engineers at Underground Racing began work on installing two twin-turbochargers on the ten-cylinder motor.
However, the center console's gated-manual six-speed gear shifter is the package's real standout feature. Underground Racing fitted a pair of in-house built twin turbos to the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 to increase performance to an estimated 1,500 hp.
A polished billet intake, a JRR motor management system, and a rolling anti-lag with launch control and drift mode functionality help with this. It was possible for Underground Racing to keep the Quattro all-wheel-drive system while installing a 6-speed manual transmission and a street clutch with factory-like maneuverability.
Except for a pair of bespoke Performance wheels with center-locks, the Audi R8 Decennium's visual appearance stayed mostly unaltered. Though not an approved product, this one-of-a-kind design serves as a lovely send-off for Audi's fire-breathing supercar, which has already been slated for an electrified successor.
