German tuning company XXX Performance launched its version of the Audi R8 V10, the XXX Performance Audi R8 V10. More than a combination of names, the XXX Performance Audi brings updates both in the interior and the engine.
Here tuning enthusiasts will certainly have an eye-catching auto with a different kind of performance.
Engine
The XXX Performance had the stock 5.2 liter V10 engine software-optimized, paired with a top-of-the-line sports exhaust system, and equipped with a BMC carbon airbox. The engine also has a Bluetooth flap control system provided by Capistro.
All these updates work together to make the engine powerful enough to deliver 650 horsepower. It is a great improvement from the 525 horsepower that you get from the stock R8 V10.
Performance
The XXX Performance Audi is definitely stronger and faster than the base Audi R8. The sport-tuned suspension, the Oxigin rims and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires give it better grip, letting the car efficiently put the power to the ground. Carbon fiber is used in most part of the exterior making the car lighter and nimbler.
Exterior
Its appearance is what makes the XXX Performance Audi truly exciting. XXX Performance drenched the Audi R8 in bilious snake green paintwork and used G-Ride Air-ride system on the coil over kit to give the car a lower stance. Even the rims are accented with the green paint, making the car truly eye catching.
The front grille is painted black and the headlamps are darkened, accentuating the front. The carbon exterior rear view mirror, as well as the side blades were also colored black giving strong contrast to the bright green theme.
Interior
High quality Alcantara and genuine leather are used to cover the seats and the white stitching provides a contrasting color to the dark wrapping. Carbon materials can also be found in the cabin which is highly sport-inspired.
Pros
The XXX Performance Audi has good looks and stronger performance. This one-of-a-kind modified Audi R8 has got lots of personality that will surely fit the lifestyle of an urban dweller.
Cons
The ground clearance of the XXX Performance Audi is so low that it can be difficult to drive on imperfect roads. Not to mention the big wheels and super low profile tires, the places where you can travel with it are limited.
If you are live in the city, deeply immersed with the urban culture, the 2012 XXX Performance Audi R8 V10 is a fitting performance car for you.
