The German tuner has declared that it will release the production model of last year's wild R8 RAZOR concept at the forthcoming Essen Motor Show which will be held beginning 29 November to 7 December. The Audi expert turned its attention on improving performance, enhancing handling dynamics, and lowering the weight of the R8. The consequence is the Razor GTR that will be manufacture in a restricted number.
Changed also took place under the hood with the addition of a specially engineered supercharger to the Audi R8's stock 4.2-liter V8 engine. Additionally, a ram-charged sport air filter system and a high performance exhaust system designed from stainless steel have been created and installed to specifically work in connection with the supercharger system. The consequence, after these alterations, is a yield of 580HP at 7,400 rpm and a peak torque of 600 Nm at 6,200 rpm. Photos and details after the jump!
Moreover, the engineers of PPI Automotive placed the R8 on a strict diet to attain a weight loss of 250 kg / 551 pounds over its serial sibling that weighs 1,580 kg / 3,483 lbs. The Razor GTR is capable of sprinting 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in only 3.7 seconds with a maximum ceiling speed of 332 km/h.
Additionally, PPI's R8 highlights wide-ranging suspension improvements with a new coil over kit designed in connection with technology partner KW Automotive GmbH as well as enlarged 6-pistonbrake calipers in association with extra-large discs measuring 380 x 36 millimeters at the front and 356 x 32 mm discs at the rear axle.
The German firm also designed a broad body kit that ensures to enhance downforce and aerodynamic balance. The Razor GTR sits on uniquely designed lightweight MAG11 forged PPI wheels. At the front, the 19-inch alloys are clothed in 255/35 ZR 19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 rubber while at the rear-end, the 20-inch alloys are enclosed with 325/25 ZR 20 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 rubber.
The interior of the German supercar was also improved by PPI with high-quality Onyx Nubuck-leather supported by orange-colored highlights and contrasts. Moreover, PPI outfits the limited edition RAZOR GTR with widespread Carbon Fiber all over the cabin.
