Hi

There are also some news.

The total weight is 1360 Kg and real is the Audi at 1350Kg.

Image

The air supply was further optimized, larger MAF housings and silicone pipes as a connection were installed.

With this optimization are at least 10HP and 10NM realized.

Bonkers project!

Just taking a step back for a second - and perhaps you covered this in an earlier post so I apologise if I've missed it - but what is the general idea behind all this? Is it a track car? Or you just want to maximise on road performance?

And, touchy question perhaps, but how much has the 270kg weight saving cost to achieve? Nosey question I know so no worries if you don't want to answer that one!

    Hi

    As luck would have it, there was a set of carbon door panels. :jump_clap:

    These are original parts from Audi, no replica. :kissmyrings:

    Given the amount of money and time spent on this car, I can only get to thinking that THIS would've been a better purchase...

    ATEOTD, it's still an V8 :)
    Too much power is barely enough.
