Here is the latest “Racing Edition” package for the Audi R8 V10 from the tuners at Anderson Germany. Starting off with a performance kit consisting of a new valve controlled sport exhaust system, racing cats, sports air filter, and new engine power management system, the Audi was able to drop the weight around 17 kg or 37 lbs. This results in numbers around 585 hp compared to the factory 525, and the top speed was increased by about 12 km/h or 7.5 mph. Exterior styling improvements came next with a new carbon front apron and rear spoiler, along with a carbon diffuser, carbon mirrors, and rear window bordering. Inside the Audi R8, the interior was re-trimmed around the door trims, radio frame, ashtray, gear shift frame, and steering wheel. Topping it off on all fours are the new lightweight alloy rims finished with a carbon fiber to complete the Racing Edition Audi from Anderson Germany.

The Audi-exclusive tuning specialists at PPI Automotive Design GmbH have announced the plans to create 10 units of the Audi R8 RAZOR GTR-10. This car carries a V10 engine, with only the front hood, front bumper, and rear diffuser being the same aftermarket parts featured on the previous Audi R8 RAZOR GTR. Although the front fenders, front spoiler, side skirts, rear funder, rear spoiler, rear engine lid, and bumper might look similar in this project, they are all modified slightly. Under the hood, the PPI tuners refined the V10 powerplant with a roof mounted ram air-intake system, vented liftgate glass, a high performance exhaust system, and a reprogrammed ECU for the ignition map. It results in a serious power increase to 601 bhp at 7,400 rpm, and a max torque of 565 Nm at 6,400 rpm. For a comparison, the stock Audi R8 V10 produces 518 brake horsepower (bhp) from the factory.
