Audi SR 8 by Hofele Design

Hofele Design has introduced a new tuning package for the Audi A8.

Dubbed the SR 8, the model has an aggressive body kit with a new front bumper, a revised grille and a rear diffuser. There's also a trunk-mounted spoiler, a sports exhaust system and a variety of 20- and 22-inch alloy wheels. Lastly, a suspension lowering module reduces the ride height up to 40mm at speeds less than 70 km/h (43 mph).

Inside, the cabin can be equipped with two-tone seats, carbon fiber trim and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel.

For added performance, the company offers optimized engine software which enables the 4.2-liter FSI and TDI V8s to produce 390 PS (287 kW / 385 hp).

Audi R8 by O.CT Tuning

German tuner O.CT Tuning has a new compressor kit that dials up the noise on the standard Audi R8 to a GT-like level.

With the "Black Compressor" system, coupled with an ECU optimization and a stainless-steel exhaust, output is boosted on the 4.2 liter V8 (with a standard 420 PS / 309 kW / 414 bhp) up to 565 PS (416 kW / 557 bhp) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque. The R8 GT and GT Spyder models feature 560 PS (412 kW / 552 bhp) and 540 Nm (398.28 lb-ft) of torque.

O.CT Tuning also cordially lifts the V-max limiter on the R8 and allows the car to reach that previous 250 km/h (155 mph) limit in only 24 seconds. The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint is also improved upon by 0.7 second over the series car.
