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.

Anderson Germany got their hands on the flagship Audi SUV, the Q7 V12 TDI to be exact, and improved the style and performance while at it. This 12-cylinder oil-burner produces 500 horses and 1,000 Nm of torque from the 6-liters of displacement. It’s plenty of enough power, and at the track the Audi Q7 is able to get the all-wheel drive to accomplish 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. With the addition of a new air filter and ECU software optimization, Anderson Germany was able to improve the horsepower to 550. To go along with the boost in performance, a new brake kit including eye-popping red calipers along with a suspension lowering module were installed.

The all new Audi RS5 has received a tuning kit from the guys at Senner, consisting of performance upgrades, new wheels, suspension, and exterior mods. Under the hood, the powerful 4.2-liter V8 FSI engine was boosted to 506 PS and 478 Nm of torque. This increase of power comes from a valve-controlled stainless steel exhaust system, and adjustments to the zero-pressure monitoring system. The top speed limiter was modified to allow 280 km/h, but without it the Audi RS5 can easily top 300 km/h with a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.2 seconds. Suspension and styling improvements came next.
