1,000-HP Underground Racing Audi R8 V10 Twin Turbo Shows Its Muscles On The Road: Video, Specs and Prices

by Ionut Dragomir

While most of the Audi R8 V10 owners are more than satisfied with their awesome cars, the team at Underground Racing decided that the Lamborghini-sourced V10 engine which develops 525 hp isn’t powerful enough.

Known for their obsession to make 1000-hp versions of the latest supercars, the American tuner put his hands on the  Audi R8 V10 and managed to turn into a true super-car.

The German supercar received aesthetic tweaks and the chromed-out work in the engine bay, but that’s not all because its 5.2-liter V10 engine has received twin turbochargers in order to deliver the aforementioned muscle. In order to make sure that everybody understands what such a car can do, Underground Racing has now released a video of the 1000hp Audi R8.

Below you can check out the official specs for every stage of upgrades, the prices for each one and, of course the video which shows what can do this beast. Check out the speedometer shot in particular for an idea of what 1,000 whp really means.
