Bochum tuning specialist xXx Performance has joined forces with Chiptrick Technologies to create a potent package for the V8-engined Audi R8.

The program, which comprises remapped ECU software, a pair of custom Garrett turbocharger units, high-pressure fuel pumps, uprated injectors and a custom intercooler, is available in three levels of tune.

Stage One sees output from the 4.2 FSI climb from 309 kW (420 hp) and 430 Nm of torque to 434 kW (590 hp) and 660 Nm, while Stage Two yields 471 kW (640 hp) and 675 Nm. The final option releases 520 kW (707 hp) and 809 Nm, allowing the R8 to crack 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with 200 km/h appearing in 10.6s and 300 km/h in 15.8 before reaching an electronically limited 313 km/h (194 mph) top speed.

Visually, the front spoiler, flaps and fins are constructed from carbon fibre with the sideblades wrapped to match, while the factory wheels have been replaced by Oxigin’s 14 Oxrock alloys measuring 8.5 and 11 x 20-inches and covered in 235/30 and 295/25 tyres.
