Audi R8 Super Sport Concept Tinkered by Senner Tuning

Before you start thinking otherwise, let us to tell you that what Senna Tuning really means by the term 'Super Sport Concept', is a performance package with engine, suspension and wheel upgrades for the Audi R8 4.2 V8 FSI. The main event of the treatment concerns the V8 engine. A reprogrammed ECU, the use of special sport air filter and a custom built exhaust system, all help to boost output from 420HP and 430Nm to 458 horsepower and 470Nm of torque.

Then, the German tuning house adds sport suspension springs that lower the R8's ride height by about 25mm up front and 15mm at the back, while the package is finished with a set of 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in high performance Dunlop tires.

The full package including the engine modifications is priced at €14,900 or around US$22,500 at today's exchange rates.

Senner Tuning Takes on the New Nissan 370Z with Visual and Mechanical Upgrades

There's no shortage of tuning proposals for the new Nissan 370Z these days, but it's always interesting to see what each company has to offer. Senna Tuning's first take on the Japanese coupe is rather mild comprising of a new sport exhaust system and sport air filter that boost the 3.7-liter V6's output from 331HP to 352HP, an adjustable coilover suspension from KW that lowers the front end of the sports car by up to 45mm and the rear up to 50mm and finally, two different set of 20-inch alloy rims wrapped in 245/35 R20 Vredestein rubber up front and 275/30 R20 at the back.

And yes, we're still trying to figure out if the front bumper of Senner Tuning's Nissan 370Z is painted in a "crème" color or if the different hue is caused by the car's pearl-white finish.

Senna Tuning said that it will unveil more upgrades for the 370Z before the end of the year including a carbon fiber bodykit with front and rear aprons, side skirts and a rear wing as well as a more powerful engine kit.
