Senner Tuning has just released photos of an RS5 custom project and while the car itself is old (pre-facelift), the look is as fresh as summer flowers.
Power gains from the 4.2-liter V8 FSI are difficult to achieve, but the German tuner has dialed things up to 506 PS (372 kW) and 478 Nm (353 lb-ft) from the series 450 PS (331 kW) machine. This has been achieve through a valve-controlled stainless steel exhaust system and adjustments to the zero-pressure monitoring.

Thanks to these power gains, the coup' goes 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, more easily keeping up with rivals like the C63 AMG.

Besides donating hp to the AMG-fighting cause, Senner have also added a cool exhaust system with butterfly valves that can be set in one of three positions: traveling, sports and racing.

Senner Tuning has seen fit to add a B16 PSS10 Bilstein coilover suspension. 10-way adjustable damping for both the compression and rebound cycles should ensure plenty of choice between traveling in comfort and racing on the track.

To set off the Audi's design, yellow accents complement they gray bodywork, together with Competec C.01 20-inch wheels finished in gloss black to match the grille and the mirror caps. Meanwhile, yellow is used for the brake calipers to match accents in the bumpers.

All these changes are small, but when Senner added up the total, €23,500 worth of parts and labor had been invested into this killer RS5.
