BLUE LIGHTNING

Tushar has owned this stunning example of an Audi R8 in Ara Blue for over 4 years now, and he still loves it like the day he received it.

Having completed our PR Stage 1+ twin turbo system in January 2021, he had no idea on how this 1000whp+ package would feel! Even though he has access to other supercars like the infamous McLaren 720s, Porsche 992 Turbo S & V12 Ferrari’s in his stable, there has not been a car that makes him smile the way this twin turbo R8 does 😊

When booking in his build slot, the package was optioned with every box ticked, including exhaust centre exit and high quality titanium material for entire exhaust.The turbo compressor covers were polished and gold plated, to showcase the symmetrical aesthetic of our mirror image twin turbo system.

The exhaust was heat treated to obtain the final colour desired and a PR V10 Billet intake manifold was optioned and anodised in gold to continue with the “gold” theme, along with giving additional strength and aesthetic to the engine bay. Gloss standard weave carbon fibre PR inserts were chosen to finish it all off.

Our exclusive PR twin turbo system uses the largest water to air cores on the market, combined with our high flowing end tanks, designed and fabricated in house to the highest of standards to achieve an OEM look based on a seamless looking design… it’s hard to imagine that both water and air pass through these at the same time!

Our lowering kit and BC Forged 19” wheels wrapped in Michelin Cup 2’s supplied and fitting by the guys at Rolling Stock

Proprietary PR MoTeC calibration allows “on the fly” map switching for different power levels along with live viewing of ethanol content on the factory dash/cluster, Fully flex fuel compatible allowing for a maximum 800whp on 98ron and in this case 1108.4whp on E85. Launch control system setup which has been proven to achieve consistent 1.5second 60ft times on an unprepared surface (depending on tyres).

There is no doubt that in future, Tushar will be back to increase power levels with the next stages available within the PR v10 twin turbo line. The feeling you get when driving one of these twin turbo V10 machines is simply addictive.

The car was in our shop for 14 days, in this time the entire job was completed, which included stainless exhaust option to suit the stock tip location and powder coated dry sump tank to match the OEM Performante finish, this set off the engine bay in a clean yet subtle appearance.

We like to underrate out HP figures, so it’s common that advertised power output is less than we usually achieve, with this one making 1108.4 whp on our baby Stage 1+ package, together with its stock like drivability it could easily be used as a daily. Only people who have witnessed just how good the platform is would be able to agree….. words cannot describe it, we have been exposed to the best driving/performance cars out there, we aren’t comparing to 1990’s and early 2000’s high performance vehicles.
