Here we have some new products available for the Audi R8 from the tuning company Switzer Performance. The new packages enhance the performance figures for both the V8 and V10 versions; each individually priced. For the 4.2-liter V8 Audi R8, the guys at Switzer were able to increase the output to 440 hp with some simple ECU tuning. The tuning costs $1,995 and is compatible with the stock components, such as the intake and exhaust. For those with the more powerful engine, Switzer Performance offers several parts to gain some impressive numbers.

American based car tuning company Switzer Performance has modified the Porsche 911 GT2 turbo to output 800 horsepower and receives the name P800 997 Twin Turbo. Even though the stock numbers are plenty at 480 hp and 457 ft-lbs of torque, Tim Switzer decided it was not enough and extensively customized the Porsche 911 GT2 or 977 turbo. Now, how do you accomplish 800 AWD horsepower out of a Porsche, you add not one, but two GT30 turbochargers, monster intercoolers, electronic boost control, fancy headers, custom exhaust, and a carbon clutch package. The new performance numbers allow the Switzer Performance P800 997 Twin Turbo to accomplish 0-60 mph in less than three seconds, and the quarter mile time is just barely over 10 seconds. Pricing has not yet been released, but you can be assured that no one will mistake you for a Mustang with this beast.
