Here is the latest work from Sportec, and with all the car tuning modifications performed on the Audi S4 Avant, the results are not very impressive. Sportec was able to increase the horsepower by 92 with final numbers at 425 hp from the stock 333 hp. However, with that much of an increase in horsepower, at the track the Audi S4 Avant was only able to increase its 0-62 mph time by 0.1 second. That is surprisingly less than expected from Sportec after the large power increase, but they also worked on the exterior to give it an aggressive look for a station wagon. They added 19 or 20 inch wheels and lowered the car by 30 mm with stiffer aftermarket springs. An upgraded brake kit was installed and Sportec claims that the extra power improves everyday driving and saves fuel consumption compared to the Audi 4.2 liter V8 available in other models. Similar to other Sportec tuning packages, the parts and modification available for the Audi S4 Avant can be purchased individually and customized for the buyers needs.

The new SP550 Porsche 997 Turbo was one of the nicest premieres from Sportec at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The guys from Sportec installed two special turbochargers and a new sport exhaust system with sound baffle system and high capacity catalytics to improve this car’s performances. They also added a special air filter with an optimised flow rate which will take care of this car’s demand of intake air. The result is an great engine which could deliver 550 HP and a gigantic torque of 705 Nm at 4,030 rpm. The car has really low CO2 emissions and it could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in 11 seconds and it could reach a top speed of 331 km/h. Customers could order an improved body kit with better aerodynamics, a new front spoiler, side skirts, a 3 part rear apron and a GT-style rear wing.
