The 2017 Audi R8 V10 catapulted itself to one of America's dream car ever since its launched. And while other people highly anticipate the new generation of the new Audi R8, some tuner and development companies like Underground Racing are experimenting with their Audi R8 V10 and building them to be faster than ever. 

Underground Racing, a company located in North Carolina built a Twin-Turbo pack 2017 Audi R8 V10 as requested by one of their customers. They completely transformed the R8 into a beast that can reach a quarter of a mile in just 9.025 seconds making it the fastest R8 in the world. 

And they're not stopping. Underground Racing said that they are just in the beginning phase. Watch out for the next phased as the 2017 Audi R8 V10 will pick up more power and more speed.

Thanks to their package which is the Stage 3 R8 V10 Plus DCT which includes an improved clutch, two turbos of epic proportions and an JRR MoTeC M1 ECU with a custom MoTeC harness and a boost-by-gear setup, the company have increased the power and turbo to reach a figure of more than 1100 hp using 93 - octane gasoline. And yes, the gasoline used is important because if we use fuel high - octane racing, this figure will even rise above 1250hp that is transferred directly to the rear wheels.

Given that the standard model of a 2017 Audi R8 V10 has  no less than 532 hp and 539 Nm of torque, it is clear that the power of the built R8 hugely increased. 

Outside we can see the 20 inches Audi wheels with 10 - spoke glossy black anthracite each priced at of $5000, matching an R 30 tires 245/30 front and 305/30 R behind to ensure the best grip on the asphalt. Also in one of the side skirts one could not miss the signature American coach in vinyl that says "Underground Racing".

While all the details of the performance had not been disclosed, Underground Racing only has this to say "To drive a 2017 Audi R8 V10 Twin Turbo something that can not be explained, you have to experience it".
