Audi R8 Super Sport Concept Tinkered by Senner Tuning

Audi-R8-Senner-Tuning-0Before you start thinking otherwise, let us to tell you that what Senna Tuning really means by the term 'Super Sport Concept', is a performance package with engine, suspension and wheel upgrades for the Audi R8 4.2 V8 FSI. The main event of the treatment concerns the V8 engine. A reprogrammed ECU, the use of special sport air filter and a custom built exhaust system, all help to boost output from 420HP and 430Nm to 458 horsepower and 470Nm of torque.

The full package including the engine modifications is priced at €14,900 or around US$22,500 at today's exchange rates.
