STaSIS Engineering – the famed North American aftermarket specialist has introduced its Challenge Extreme Edition package for the Audi R8 V10 to Britain. It had its availability in the United States since the year of 2010. The performance kit includes enhancements meted out to the powertrain, suspension and the braking system. All these transform the R8 V10 into an even more ferocious supercar, one that is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h [62mph] in 3.1 seconds, 0.6 seconds faster than the stock model.
Improvements with the engine comes in the form of the Eaton/Magnusson TVS 2300 supercharger that is now added to the powertrain. The charger elevates power to 710HP (35 percent more than the standard model) and peak torque to 710 Nm (523 lb-ft). There are also some other modifications that involve the intercooler, the intake system and the ECU.
STaSIS Engineers made it a point to upgrade the exhaust system by welding it with stainless steel and improve the braking system by fitting 390 mm front and 355 mm rear two piece floating discs. As far as the suspension is concerned, STaSIS adorned the R8 with lowering springs that improve handling while gifting a more aggressive stance to the sedan.
The styling alterations are restricted to a set of 20 inch ultra lightweight alloy wheels. The Challenge Extreme Edition package for the Audi R8 V10 is accessible through the APS of Brackley distributor for £45,000 (€51,000/$71,800), VAT and fitting inclusive.
