LMS racecar/a wasn't the only a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/AudiR8/"Audi R8/a to grace the
show floor in Essen. PPI Design brought their latest version of the Audi supercar dubbed the Razor
GTR. The a
href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/06/ppi-puts-porsche-on-notice-with-audi-r8-razor/"standard
version of the Razor/a made its debut at the show last year, featuring an additional 40 horsepower,
19-inch wheels, custom leather interior, and a full carbon fiber aero kit. The GTR takes the R8 to
yet another level, with more power, reduced weight, and improved aerodynamics./p pPPI has fitted a
supercharger to the 4.2L V8 which now puts out 580 horsepower and 443 lb-ft torque, good for a
3.7-second sprint to 100 km/h and a top speed of 206 mph. The widebody kit is constructed
completely of carbon fiber and feeds cool air to the brakes and radiators, while the engine cover,
also constructed of the lightweight material, includes integrated ram air inlets. The wider body
also allows for wider rims and tires -- lightweight MAG11 forged wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot
Sport 2 rubber. Other performance upgrades include a KW coilover suspension, and larger brakes:
15-inch discs with six-piston calipers in the front, and 14-inch discs in the rear. Carbon fiber
also coats the interior, alongside custom leather seats and a PPI steering wheel. Follow the jump
for the PR from PPI, and be sure to indulge in the gallery below. /p pdiv
