2010 Audi R8 PPI Razor GTR-10 a new front bumper

2010 Audi R8 PPI Razor GTR-10
The last time we saw the Razor GT-R by PPI it was 2009 and it only developed 580hp. We say “only” because the tuning firm responsible for that transformation, PPI Automotive, has gone back and improved the engine yet again. The new GTR-10 limited edition will only come in, you guessed it, a limited supply of 10 units with more power, style, and passion.

The Razor GTR-10 comes with a new front bumper, larger air inlets in connection with a new incorporated LED day-running unit, new sideskirts, and carbon fiber on the roof pillars and doors. There is also a special hollow, carbon fiber rear wing with an adjustable Gurney-flap, an engine lid made of carbon fiber, newly designed side blades, rear fenders, and a rear bumper. The exterior package is finished by 19″ lightweight MAG11 Forged Aluminium PPI wheels.

Interior Performance
PPI completely re-appoints the interior per clients request, and turns the R8 cabin into a “members-only” lounge with a motorsport flair. The production interior is replaced with the finest quality materials. The Gems of the interior are the PPI Sport Steering wheel with Carbon Fiber Rim and perforated black leather, and of course, the PPITM insignia in aluminum. The hand-brake lever, door sill protectors, driver and radio console surround, door trim, center console inserts, kneepad trim are all crafted from carbon fiber, as are the ultra-light weight folding sport seats with airbag.

Aerodynamics
All parts are made from the advance carbon fiber technology used in the aerospace and F1 racing industries. The exterior features a widebody kit with a new front bumper, front spoiler, front bonnet, front fenders, sideskirts, sideblades (or as PPI now calls them, Aeroblades), rear fenders, rear bumper, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, and a new rear engine cover with air channels that can be fitted with a Polycarbonate, scratch-resistant and UV coated glass in solid or slotted form. All this Carbon Fiber and lightweight materials strips about 250 kilos (551 lbs) from the vehicle’s weight.

PPI engineers have managed to create a supercar out of the Audi R8, resulting in a wider, lighter, more stable, and more aggressive body. Keeping in mind the philosophy of “form follows function”. Every air channel, intake has a function and purpose on this mid-engined supercar. First and foremost to increase air delivery to the engine, secondly, to provide greater engine cooling, thirdly, to increase brake cooling, and fourth, to increase aerodynamic stability.

Performance
PPI offers several engine kits for the Audi R8 Models.

V8 power upgrade options:
Stage 1 – 40 HP increase
Stage 2 – Supercharger — 200 HP increase

V10 power upgrade options:
Stage 1 – 60 HP increase
Stage 2 – 80 HP increase
Stage 3 – Further power increases available upon request

To achieve these power increases, PPI makes use of Formula1 technology and research and development data from extensive testing. Combined with 580 HP supercharged V8 or the 600 HP V10 engine, this vehicle rockets to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds. A top speed of over 323 km/h (201 mph) is possible.


Naturally, this required bigger wheels, brakes, and cooling. PPI uses a 380 mm braking system with six-piston calipers in the front, and four-piston calipers at the back. PPI fitted the Supercar with 9 x 19 and 11 x 20 forged aluminum wheels, with 265/35 19, and 335/30 20 Michelin Pilot Sport 2. Alternatively, Carbon Fiber wheels are optional in the following dimensions: 9 x 19? and 12 x 20? Wheel and Tire applications are custom-tailed to drivers driving-style.

Aerodynamic Packages
The RAZOR GT/GTR packages are offered in 4 levels. The core bodykit is the RAZOR GT, this is the widebody package in paintable carbon fiber without the engine cover/air channels and without the rear spoiler.

The second, is the previously shown RAZOR GTR kit. This is the same as the GT kit and includes the additional Rear engine cover/air channels, Front Radiator Air channel (that is continous with the front bonnet) and Rear Spoiler. Presented at the 2009 TopMarques Show in Monaco.

The third kit, is the RAZOR GTR kit in Optical form. This bodykit is finished in a way to allow all parts to be shown in visible carbon fiber. Presented at the 2009 Dubai Motor Show.

The fourth, is the RAZOR GTR Visible Carbon Fiber. This is a full-bodied Carbon Fiber car with PPITMs RAZOR GTR kit and doors and roof in Carbon Fiber. This can only be assembled in PPITMs German-based company.
