  • B&B Boosts Audi R8 V10 Plus

    BB-Audi-R8-V10-Plus-THUMBThe tuning experts of B&B Automobiltechnik have lately devoted their selves to the development of an upgrade for the top model of the current R8 series. This Audi model was introduced to the market in the past year and features a powerful V10 engine.

    Speaking about the unit, it can produce the exhilarating 550 horsepower (405 kW) and 540 Nm (399 lb-ft) of torque. Nonetheless, this wasn’t enough for the tunes and they have raised the standards via a three-stage performance boost.

    First, the performance and torque was boosted to 595 hp (438 kW) and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) in the “small” Stage One. The Second Stage gives the R8 610 hp (449 kW) 570 Nm (421 lb-ft). At last, the final upgrade Stage Three is called “BB R8 M20/3” and boosts the V8 up to 628 hp (462 kW) and 585 Nm (432 lb-ft). All this power is transferred onto the road via the 7-gear S-tronic double clutch transmission.

    Other modifications that unfold this power were also done, for instance on the ignition and injection system as well as the intake channels and air ducts. In addition, also installed were the B&B’s racing exhaust system made of stainless steel and B&B carbon special air filters.

    Of course, these upgrades can only lead to better on-road performance. The four-wheel racer accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and beats the magical 10-seconds sonic barrier in 9.6 seconds in the 0-200 km/h sprint. The top speed is 328 km/h.

    B&B racing chassis that is adjustable from 20 to 40 millimeter was combined with light alloy wheel rims of size 9×20 on the front axis and 11×20 inches on the rear. The latter were matched with rubber rollers of the dimension 235/30R20 and 305/25R20 in front and rear, respectively.

    The latest development from B&B is the current Audi RS3, for the B&B retrofit program has now been completed. The engine power increases in the strongest expansion phase up to 510 hp and 680 Nm. Hereby performance values on super sports car level are achieved: 0-100km/h 3.5 sec – 0-200km/h 12.5 seconds – top speed 310km/h.
    The 4-stage B&B engine program begins with a change in the electronics and a slight increase in boost pressure to raise the power of the 2.5ltr. TFSI engine for only 1,950€ to 410 hp and 560 Nm.

    In Stage 2 for 2950.- € 425 hp and 580 Nm are reached. Here, the air induction, airflows and charge air cooling will be optimized, the boost pressure is increased by about 0.25bar and the electronic injection code fields are adjusted to these changes.

    Level 3 (450 hp / 600 Nm / 7.950.- €) includes in addition to Level 2 a special sport exhaust system to decrease the exhaust back pressure and exhaust temperature.

    To reach the final performance in Stage 4 to 510 hp and 680 Nm of torque, the technicians from B&B in addition to Level 3 change the exhaust gas turbocharger to a larger special turbocharger. In addition to this, the installation of a racing exhaust system with metal catalysts, a high pressure pump and a special sports clutch is made. Finally, adjustments in the intake and engine management are carried out. The price of the power stage 4 is 15.950.- €.

    In order to reduce exhaust back pressure and exhaust temperature and improve the sound, B&B built a sports exhaust system made ??of solid stainless steel, which causes an additional power increase of approximately 6-8 horsepower. By using this sport exhaust system with a higher power output is achieved while reducing the thermal load of the engine and exhaust gas turbocharger.

    In addition to the increased performance, are 20mm lower sports suspension springs (398 – €) and adjustable coilover suspension, in comfort or sport setup (from € 1.298.-), as well as exclusive wheels in 19 “and 20” (from € 2998.-) available.
