Audi R8 V10 to 641HP



It all begins with the eye-popping lime green foil wrap contrasted by details in a black carbon fiber wrap including the side blades and mirrors. The Bochum, Germany based tuner also removed all Audi logos and painted the front grille and rear fascia in gloss black.

The car now rides on exclusive Oxigin 14-Oxrock 20-inch rims finished in green and black, and shod in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires size 235/30R20 at the front and 295/25R20 at the rear.

What makes the tune really stand out, at least when it's parked, is the H&R coilover lowering kit and the G-Ride Airride air-suspension system that allows the driver to drop the R8 to the ground for a more menacing stance.

Surprisingly, the interior modifications are far less dramatic in styling combining fine Alcantara and real leather in carbon looks with white seams for most surfaces including the dashboard, seats, headliner, doors and center console.

xXx Performance also made some changes to the R8's 5.2-liter FSI 10-cylinder engine remapping the ECU and adding a BMC carbon air-box as well as a high-end sports exhaust system from Capristo, pushing output from 518hp (525PS) to 641hp (650PS).

No word on pricing but if you want to take a look at what the R8 V10 looks and sounds like on the road, hop over the break for a pair of videos.
