Hennessey is following in the footsteps of
Underground Racing by announcing a twin-turbo version of the Audi R8. It's unknown how much power the German
supercar will have to cope with once it will be ready, but the one tuned by the
latter makes an impressive 2,200 WHP on race fuel, and 1,200 WHP on pump gas.
The most powerful version of the second-gen Audi R8
that money can buy straight from the factory is called the V10 Plus. It uses
the same sonorous 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine that's shared with
the Lamborghini Huracan, which is rated at 602 hp and 560 Nm of torque, and allows the supercar to go from 0 to 100 km/h in
3.2sec, and up to a top speed of 330 km/h.
Audi is asking at least US$ 194,400 for the R8 V10 Plus
Coupe on this side of the pond, while the base version of the exotic machine is US$ 30,000 cheaper.
