(from Sportec Press
Release) Sportec Audi S4 Avant: The Powerful Swiss Estate Car
An Audi S4 with its 333
compressor-PS is no mean thing on its own but the Swiss tuner thinks
differently and by applying specific techniques has pushed the
vehicle from Ingolstadt way over the 400 PS mark.
A newly programmed
engine control and the installation of a sports air filter coaxes a
full 425 PS instead of the standard 333 PS from the three litre V6
compressor. The maximum torque has also been distinctly increased by
improving the electronics. Instead of 440 a maximum 520 Nm can now
be called upon. A plus factor that is noticeable in the driving
dynamics. Whereas the standard Audi S4 needed 5,6 seconds to
accelerate from zero to 100 km/h the Sportec RS425 only needs 5,2
seconds. At top speeds, though, they are equal as both vehicles are
electronically blocked at 250 km/h.
However Sportec is not
content with solely an upgrade. A special sports silencer with four
end pipes - two pairs on either side right and left – provide a more
sporty sound. A braking system on the front axles enlarged to 380
millimetres ensures improved braking power. On the other hand
chassis clearance has been reduced as Sportec has fitted the Audi
with a suspension kit shortened by a progressive 25 millimetres.
In addition the Sportec
RS425 is fitted with 9 x 20 inch large lightweight metal rims
surrounded by 245/30 tyres. The Audi S4’s new look is rounded off
with a diffuser at the rear and a spoiler at the front, both of
which are made of carbon.
