“Black Panther” is an apt description for the 2013 Ok-Chiptuning Audi R8 Phantom Black Panther given its all black color scheme. Adding Phantom to the name goes helps describe its mysterious, sexy styling.
This Audi R8 went through visual enhancements as well as a boost in performance. The car’s black metallic finish features aerodynamic wrappings too.
When the Audi R8 was introduced in 2008, it was thought of as a little sister to the Lamborghini. The Audi R8 Phantom Black Panther is a game changer in that regard, now rivaling its once “big sis.”

Engine & Performance
Ok-Chiptuning of Germany has come up with a new tuning package based on the Audi V10 “R-Tronic” system that provides the Black Panther coupe with more speed and power.
The most impressive part of the R8 Phantom Black Panther is under its hood. There you will find a 5.2 liter V10 engine that supplies 620 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The addition of support flaps on the exhaust system and software optimization accounts for much of its power.
This supercar moves from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and 62-124 mph in another 6.9 seconds. The top speed should be slightly above the 200 mph mark.
Exterior
On the outside, the German car manufacturer succeeded in creating an upgraded version of the R8 V10 with just a few minor, yet impressive changes. Additions to the cars exterior include a new carbon front lip and a perfectly integrated rear diffuser.
The façade features a black metallic grille which matches the rest of the body’s Phantom Black Panther color scheme. The taillights were altered, more reminiscent of the R8 GT.
Interior
The R8 Phantom Black Panther’s interior is simple, but still elegant. The distinctive Audi logo of inter- connecting circles is displayed on the center of the oblong steering wheel.
The chrome gear shifter is a distinguishing feature on the inside. The rest of the controls are a series of knobs and push buttons located along the instrument panel at the center within the easy reach of the driver.
