You can now get your mitts on the stunning Audi R8 V10 Challenge Extreme Edition if you feel up to importing from the UK.
The astonishing 710 bhp R8 V10 Challenge Extreme Edition (pictured above, which debuted on the Audi North America stand at the SEMA show earlier in the year) has launched in the UK and we’re in awe of the machine.
It’s available now through award-winning VAG specialist and STaSIS distributor APS of Brackley, as well as STaSIS agents across the UK.
Prices start at £45,000 fitted, including VAT @ 20%, but you have to remember the dreaded VRT associated with importing.
Anyway, here are the nuts and bolts of the cracking looking motor:
Engine – Eaton / Magnusson TVS 2300 supercharger running 7.5 psi of boost, independent charge cooler system to ensure consistent high power output, CNC billet alloy machined intake plenum for durability and strength, high performance STaSIS ECU remap – performance increases to 710 bhp and 523lb.ft of torque.
Exhaust – 3.0 inch TIG welded stainless steel, cross-flow exhaust system.
Brakes – Alcon 390mm front / 355mm rear with two piece floating discs.
Suspension – Lowering springs to improve handling and give a more aggressive appearance while retaining ride quality.
Wheels – 9.5 x 20 inch ultra-lightweight forged aluminium front, 12 x 20 inch forged aluminium rear with high performance low profile tyres.
The STaSIS Audi R8 V10 Challenge Extreme Edition refines the standard base car with additional racing technology for the road, combining a 35% power increase with appropriate dynamic and braking enhancements.
Everything STaSIS’s engineers have learned at the racetrack has been distilled into this R8 V10 upgrade package that’s also designed for civilised town driving, yet can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds (3.7 stock.)
From concept to production each new STaSIS component is rigorously tested to ensure maximum performance and factory levels of reliability.
Customers are also able to purchase individual STaSIS Audi R8 V10 Challenge Extreme Edition components from APS of Brackley on a piecemeal basis, with prices available on request.
