Speedriven is based out of Palatine, Illinois and has been making quite a splash lately with its insane upgrades to some of the finest cars out there. In the past, we’ve brought you reviews of a 2011 Mercedes E-Class V12 the 2011 Mercedes S600, and my personal favorite – the 1,000 horsepower V-12 CL600 that we reviewed back in November of 2015. Mercedes isn’t the only brand Speedriven specializes in, though. They also have programs for various Lamborghini models and several Audi models as well.
The vehicle in question here is a 2012 Audi R8 V10 that, after being caressed by the techs over at Speedriven, has broken records at the race track – twice in one day – as a matter of fact. The most insane fact about this R8 isn’t necessarily that it broke records on the dragstrip, but the fact that Speedriven was able to more than double the horsepower of the R8 without breaking into the engine. Now that is certainly something to write home about.
So how did the guys over at Speedriven manage to muster so much power out of the R8’s 5.2-liter engine? Well, it surely wasn’t easy, but keep reading to find out.
