With the launch of the new A8, Audi presented Barcelona at the Summit 2017 and a new range of super-sports accessories for its cars that suit such items. Under the name "Audi Sport Performance Parts", the German manufacturer offered special components only for the TT, TTS, TT RS and R8 models and for other models there is still a separate release for subsequent releases.
Practically, Audi Sport responds to the BMW M Performance and will offer the specially selected components for suspension, exhaust, interior styling and exterior styling. And braking systems can be modified with larger brake discs or special ceramic brake discs. For example, the system available for R8 makes the machine one kilogram easier.
Two or three stage adjustable suspensions are available on both TT and R8. Giant 20-inch wheels are "taken directly from motorsport" as Audi declares and can lower their TT weight by up to 7.2 kilograms and up to eight on R8. The Quattro TT models can also be equipped with an extra rear reinforcement bar for "increased rigidity of the car and improved maneuverability." For TT RS the electronic speed limitation can be moved to 280 km / h.
Specifically, Tetra-TT and TT RS are titanium Akrapovic evacuation systems. Equally spectacular are the aerodynamic kits designed and tested in the aerodynamic tunnel, so at R8 the aerodynamic pressure at 330 km / h is 250 kg, 100 kg higher than the standard model. At 150 km / h, the aerodynamic pressure is even doubled compared to a model without Performance Parts; For Audi TT, there are even more elements available, but many of them only have an aesthetic role, such as the super-generous engine bonnet on it. All aerodynamic elements are made of CFRP.
Inside, you can order a sports steering wheel with included controls, dressed in Alcantara and marked at 12 o'clock on the ring. For S tronic models, CFRP carbon paddles can be ordered and for the craziest customers the rear seat can be dropped and a roll-cage can be mounted in place that lowers the machine's 20kg mass and increases torsional stiffness And "Improves roadblocking in speed-negotiated turns". Yeah.
