STaSIS Engineering Launches 710HP Audi R8 V10 in the UK


North American aftermarket specialist STaSIS Engineering has introduced its Challenge Extreme Edition package for the Audi R8 V10 to Britain. Available in the US since 2010, the performance kit includes powertrain, suspension and brake upgrades that transform the R8 V10 into an even more ferocious supercar, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h [62mph] in 3.1 seconds, 0.6 seconds faster than the stock model.

The engine has been fitted with an Eaton/Magnusson TVS 2300 supercharger that elevates power to 710HP (35 percent more than the standard model) and peak torque to 710 Nm (523 lb-ft). Other engine modifications involve the intercooler, the intake system and the ECU.

STaSIS engineers also upgraded the exhaust system (welded stainless steel) and the brakes (390 mm front / 355 mm rear with two piece floating discs). As for the suspension, STaSIS equipped the R8 with lowering springs to improve handling while also offering a more aggressive stance to the car.

Styling modifications are limited to a set of 20-inch ultra-lightweight alloy wheels. The Challenge Extreme Edition package for the Audi R8 V10 is available through the APS of Brackley distributor for £45,000 (€51,000/$71,800), with VAT and fitting included.
