Hürth-based German Tuner; Sport Wheels has been working on Audi’s A4 8H Cabriolet, creating, what it calls: Summer Feelings. Based on the company’s 2.0L 200hp model, Sport Wheels tweaks the ECU and adds an Eisenmann exhaust system – complete with quad Le Mans tailpipes – which results in a 50hp jump. Eisenmann also supplies a rear apron to accommodate the new outlets. As you’d expect, this Cabrio wouldn’t be staying on standard wheels, hence a set of 20-inch Eta Beta Tettsut X-ceramic alloy rims have been added, while KW “Inox-Line” coilover suspension provide the drop.
