tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
For some weeks, everything revolves around the brand new one Audi R8 of type 4S. Sure - as always, the new one can do almost everything better, looks better, is faster, etc. But you should still not forget its predecessor the Type 42 because the actual differences, especially in terms of performance, sometimes take place in the tenths of a second range and the "Old" is still . As far as workmanship and quality are concerned, both models should be almost the same as both were, and are, manufactured at the highest level. The Australian tuner Heasman Steering (near Sydney) recently had a special Type 42 delicacy on site. A white Audi R8 V8 FSi Carbon Edition did the honors and was modified discreetly and absolutely to match. The tuner put the R8 a good deal lower using the KW Variant 3 coilover kit and screwed a beautiful 20 inch Trofeo forged wheel set to the Ingolstadt-based.
So that the front bumper does not fly around the ears of the R8 at the first bump, it was also given an HLS4 kit that allows the R8 to be lifted a bit at the front and rear while driving. With these options, as well as a clearly audible FI sports exhaust system including OEM optics, the Heasmans R8 stands out discreetly from its series brothers without exaggerating. The Heasman Steering Team has published the pictures of the white athlete on their site and we are of course pleased to be able to show them to you. So if you have been secretly thinking about buying an R8 for a long time, or if you are already a happy owner, Heasman Steering is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to differentiating the vehicle from the production model. And since very few readers of tuningblog.eu live in Australia, the vehicle serves at least as a template for the local tuning partner.
As far as the further changes to optics or technology are concerned, we have tried to find out the most important details. As always, we have listed what came out of this in a small summary for you in the lower part of the article. If you discover more changes that we have missed, please use our comment box and let us know, we will then add them to the article as soon as possible.
