Starting from the premise that the Mercedes-AMG C63
S Coupe has a power advantage over the Audi RS5 Coupe, Wheelsandmore decided to
lessen the gap between the two.
They did so by fiddling with the Audi's 2.9-liter
TFSI V6 to make 505 PS and 680 Nm of torque, through
optimizing the ECU mapping and adding a more efficient air filter, in Stage 1,
which costs € 2,500 (US$ 2,942).
This represents a 55 PS and 80 Nm of
torque increase over the stock RS5 Coupe, but Wheelsandmore have a more dynamic
update in Stage 2, which puts out 520 PS and 690 Nm of torque.
Responsible for the extra oomph is a weight-reduced flap exhaust system that
works together with the aforementioned upgrades to drop the naught to 100 km/h sprint of the stock car by 0.3 sec, to 3.6 sec.
The tuner can fit their 6Sporz² and F.I.W.E wheels
to the RS5, and customers can select from 9x20- to 11x20-inch in size, wrapped
in 275/30 or 295/25 tires. For a deeper effect, the rims can be finished in
different shades, and they work best with adjustable lowering springs, or a
coilover suspension with adjustable height developed by KW.
