German tuning firm Pogea Racing has announced a performance kit for the Audi A7 called the Seven Sins. Focusing mainly under the hood, Pogea Racing tuned the ECU to optimize the power from both the 3.0 TDI and 3.0 TFSI engines found in the Audi. For the 3.0-liter TDI Multitronic, the engineers were able to improve the figures to 251 PS and 468 Nm of torque. Now the TDI S-Tronic model was increased to 289 PS and 555 Nm of torque, while the supercharged 3.0 TFSI boosts 345 PS and 495 Nm of torque.

Here’s some crazy tuning by the guys from West Coast Customs and Monster Cable on the Tron themed Audi R8. Take one look at the car and the only thing that comes to mind is sick, literally, you will feel that after seeing all the pictures. Definitely overkill since the Tron motorcycle already seems to be a bust. However, some people will probably like it and want to make their car glow, even if it’s not a supercar like the Audi R8 Tron. Thankfully, there were no modifications under the hood, and West Coast Customs strictly stuck to customizing the exterior with glowing rims, glowing vents, glow seats, and a blinding chrome finish. It looks like they did a professional job building the Audi, but whoever drives this car will probably cause more accidents than help the road.
