Senner Tuning releases 506-hp Audi RS5

With 450 horsepower in stock form, the Audi RS5 is certainly no slouch in the power department. That however, hasn't stopped Senner Tuning from extracting a few extra horses from the RS5's 4.2-liter V8 - fifty six extra to be exact. Upgrades of Senner Tuning's 506-hp RS5 include a new performance exhaust, Bilstein coilover suspension, 20" Varianza wheels and a few added touches of carbon fiber. Full details and photo gallery after the jump.

Surprisingly, only one major performance modification was needed for Senner's Audi RS5 to cross the 500 horsepower barrier. Senner Tuning replaced the RS5's stock exhaust with a valve-controlled stainless steel exhaust system along with an adjustment to zero-pressure monitoring. The result is a total of 506 horsepower and 352 lb-ft of torque. Enough for a run from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, on to a delimited top speed of 186 mph.

Handling and ride height of the Senner RS5 is modified thanks to a new Bilstein coilover suspension system; which allows for 10-stage adjustable damping in both the compression and rebound cycles. Matched to the new suspension are the choice of two different wheels from Varianza. Both 20-inches in size, the show car (pictured) displays the SC1 design on the drivers side and T1S on the passenger side.

Rounding out the package, are carbon fiber side mirror covers, carbon fiber interior accents and "Black Edition" grille and window moldings. The total cost of the complete vehicle is about 113.900 €. The cost of reconstruction is 18.900 € including taxes and TÜV-registration.
