SPEED-BUSTER team enhanced two lucky Audi machines. Check’em out!

2017 SPEED-BUSTER Audi S5 and RS5 Chiptuning SPEED-BUSTER team takes a closer look at Audi’s Biturbo machines. As we all know that these bad boys are extremely sexy and appealing and at the same time offer some massive amount of power and road agility. What the tuning team has done is as straightforward as fucntional as possible: both the RS5 and S5 receive comprehensive chip tuning that adds more to the pure power output of the power unit.

SPEED-BUSTER’s Chiptuning-Box pack is a special one in many ways: first, it utilizes vehicle’s parameters and capabilities, then it processes the data from the original Audi sensors to the original ECU. By doing so, the system adds significant amount of power: for the RS5 machine this means a leap from the stock 450hp (331kW) to 523hp (385kW) and additional 86Nm of torque for the final amount of 68Nm. Massive, isn’t it? For the S5 monster these parameters are 420hp (309kW) from the stock 354hp (260kW). Just enough to force the 3.0-liter TFSI power unit to unveil its full potential.

Additional beneficial goodie is the fuel efficiency optimization. It is hard to believe it, but this exclusive Chiptuning-Box works in full harmony with the comprehensive bi-turbo engine system. Thanks to the improvements and exclusive fine-tuning sessions, the engineering team has managed to reduce the fuel consumption with 1.0liter per 100kilometers. Sweet.

Definitely impressive and impeccably installed, the Chiptuning-Box surely makes the difference. As anyone can see, the team has not included any kind of external design changes: both vehicles showcase all of their original parts and all Audi fans can enjoy these fine lines and elegant curves that make the automobile manufacturer so prominent in the whole motorsport world.

2014 ABT Audi RS5-R is Capable of Reaching Top Speed of 290 km/h

2014 ABT Audi RS5-R is an exceptionl tuning, which deserves our attention. The reason it grabbed it was that it can reach 100 km/h from standstill in just 4.3 seconds, while its top speed stands at the 290 km/h. In order to achieve such a performance, the popular Audi tuners from Bavaria sent the production sports car Audi A5 to the training camp. The result is marvelous: it now produces 470 hp (346 kW) and 440 Newton metres (324 lb-ft) of torque.

Behind these figures however, stands the work of the engineers, which have added new body kit to the high-performance coupé. The martial look of the car, met the lightweight construction and a host of functional details.

Precisely, the carbon front skirt with AeroFlics improves the airflow. The low side skirts and the rear skirt as well as the striking wing also comprise of the high-tech carbon fibre material. In addition, ABT Sportsline also added special inserts for the front fenders.

RS5-R appears like a real racing car. This is due to the big 20” ABT rims of type ER-F20 that come in “black magic” color. An interesting fact is thah the lightweight, forged alloy wheels only weigh just 9.3 kg each. They were fittedd with 275/30 ZR20 high-performance tires.

The new exhaust system made a significant contribution to the performance increase. As a matter of fact, ABT offers it in two variants. The first one is the conventional style in serial tail pipe look, while the second one is an alternative side-pipe variant going out of the left skirt of the vehicle. The gigantic tail pipe is a feast for the eyes and the ears.

Audi RS5 TDI Concept – Details

Audi has released full details and pictures for the impressive RS5 TDI Concept. The performance diesel model comes with an astonishing engine delivering exceptional power and fuel economy. It is designed to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of the TDI engine.

Audi RS5 TDI is powered by a 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged V6 TDI with a “supplemental electric turbocharger”. The electric turbocharger is powered by a compact lithium-ion battery and uses a separate 48 volt electrical system that is connected to the conventional 12-volt electrical system via a DC/DC converter. This special turbocharger can accelerate the compressor wheel to over 70,000 rpm in a few hundredths of a second. The exhaust turbochargers also provide as much as 2.4 bar of relative boost pressure. The result is astonishing – 385HP (283 kW) and 750Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque at 1,250RPM. 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 16.0 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). The fuel economy result in 5.3 liters / 100 km (44.3 mpg US or 53.2 mpg UK).

“25 years ago, Audi launched the first TDI on the market, writing the first chapter of an enduring success story,” commented Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development.

“Our latest innovation is the electric turbocharger, which further improves not just sprint times and pulling power, but also efficiency. This technology illustrates the possibilities harbored by 48-volt electrical systems, which we are currently developing for use in production vehicles.”, he added.
