PRESS RELEASE

Powercar RS6 – by MFK

The driving performance of the RS6 from MSK is on the level of a high performance sports car. Extreme sportiness was at primary focus during the conversion of the RS6. Hence there was not only the engine power to be increased but also the visual appearance to be improved.

The Audi RS6 from MFK hides the enormous power behind a harmonious series outfit. Huge spoiler and Airbrush finishing you do not get from MFK. Through big vents on the left and right side in the front the athlete sucks enough air for the optimized gearing. After a software change through MFK there are 520 hp at the RS6 command.

The aluminium rims from Schmidt Revolution are called CC-Line “Satin Black”. The 3-part rims are size 10,5×20″ and have been equipped with extremely big tires. MFK decided for high performance tires from Dunlop size 285/25-20. The wheelset guaranties secure running characteristics at high speed. Responsible for this is the high polished and extreme solid RADINOX outer ring made of stainless steel. Using wide base tires the RS6 rushes toward a targeted point at the horizon as if glued to the street.

In addition MFK offers a subtle sports exhaust system with 100 cells cat and Y-branch pipe for 5.999,00 Euro. Therewith the RS6 from Bad Kreuznach is not just as convenient as a light truck, but fast and fancy.

Earlier this month we provided information from B&B regarding the Audi Q7.

They are at it again, this time with the A5 and S5 Cabriolet. With power on their mind, they have transformed the S5 to the beast that we have been waiting for. Adding an ECU flash and sports exhaust system the B&B S5 outputs 305kW (415hp) and peak torque of 520Nm.

2.0 TFSI motors should expect several levels of performance as well. to  Stage1 includes software and moves power to 184kW (250hp) and 400Nm. “ Second and third stages increase power to 191kW (260hp) and 217kW (295hp) respectively while the final stage achieves 228kW (310hp) and 465Nm“.

Turbo diesel owners are also included in the fun, packages have been developed for both the 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI . The 2.0 TDI’s Stage 1 creates 147kW (200hp) and 400Nm, the Stage 2 creates 162kW (220hp) and 420Nm.”The bigger 3.0 TDI goes from a 206kW (280hp) and 585 Nm stage one tune, to 221kW (300hp) and 600Nm, and finally up to 239kW (325hp) and 640Nm.”

B&B has been hard at work on Audi’s latest rendition of the Q7. They have created tuning packages for three of the turbo diesel motors that it comes with.

The 3.0 TDI motor is treated with three power levels. The stage 1 tune raises output to 280 hp and 585 Nm, The stage 2 tune cost about 100 euro more and provides 300 hp and 600 Nm. Stage 3 maxes the 3.0 TDI out at 325 hp and 640 Nm.

Although the 4.2 TDI motor only has two stages of tuning, they both create immense amounts of power and torque. Stage 1 raise the Q7 to 375 hp and 850 Nm of torque and Stage two reaches 400 hp and 900 Nm of torque.

6.0 V12 Turbo Diesel owners should not feel left out, B&B has two packages for you as well. Stage 1 raise the car to an amazing 565 hp and 1,220 Newton-meters. I am not sure who would need any more power than this but the Stage2 is also available providing 595 hp and a maximum torque of 1,270 Nm.
