German tuner Wheelsandmore is offering a performance upgrade on the Audi R8 V10 model which is powered by the 5.2 liter TFSI engine.

Wheelsandmore handcrafted its own stainless-steel exhaust system with valve control and with the help of an ECU re-mapping gets the R8's 5.2 liter V10 TFSI engine up to 600 PS (441 kW) and 590 Nm (435 lb-ft) of torque. That's a boost of 75 PS and 60 Nm of torque over the standard configuration - which is 525 PS (386 kW) and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft).

For the suspension, there's KW race coilovers with adjustable rebound and compression rates. The new hydraulic suspension can move 4.5 cm (1.77 inches) up or down to adjust the ride height.

The tuner has also crafted its own 3-piece wheels for the R8, which come in 9 x 20 dimensions at the front and 11 x 20 for the rear and in various color combinations. The rims come wrapped in Continental Sport Contact III tires sized 235/30/20 and 295/25/20 front/back, respectively.
