Evolution Motorsports Turbocharges the Audi R8 V10

Supercars worship the god of power by definition, but in today's hp-flooded world, it seems like some of these vehicles don't offer as much as some need. If we are to believe Evolution Motorsports, an American tuner, the Audi R8 can be entered in this category. Of course, you can always turn to an aftermarket developer to have your vehicle taken to a whole new level. Fortunately, the Audi R8 is one of the favorite vehicles for tuners, with a multitude of tuning packages for the German supercar coming from all parts of the world.

Today we're going to talk about Evolution Motorsports's vision of the R8. The company has decided to allow the vehicle to enter a new performance league. We’ve already told you enough to let you guess what info comes next. Yes, since we are talking about a hefty power increase, the vehicle’s engine has been taken for a drive on the forced induction road.

The vehicle’s 5.2 liter V10 powerplant, which develops 525 hp when it leaves the Audi factory, has been gifted with twin turbochargers, as well with other mods that allow it to place 720 hp at the mercy of the driver’s right foot. The tuner promises that its mods come with a high level of reliability.

As you can see in the adjacent image, which was published by audiblog.nl, the vehicle's exterior has kept its stock form.

“Most enthusiasts agree and R8 owners will confirm that the R8 is one of the best true Supercars available today. The only problem with the complete supercar package is the lack of RAW power.(We believe that we have created the ultimate Audi R8 – the one that should have been delivered to the enthusiast from the factory,” stated the press release.

And the story doesn’t end here, as the company has also prepared multiple goodies for those who are looking for even more power. The company claims that it is currently building modification packs that bring the R8 to 800, 900 and 1000+ hp.
