Once again Audi show the world they can make a supremely quick car that handles like it is on rails. The early RS4 will benefit from a set of uprated shocks all round.
The later RS4 is pretty much perfect from the factory but you can still add a bit more power!! TorqueCars recommend that you get adjustable shocks and set them up to suite your driving preference and style. Read More...
Tuning the Audi A3 – which model should you choose?
"Audi A3 Tuning"
When Audi produce a car, other manufacturers sit up and take notice. The A3 was at the time the smallest Audi ever made (until the A2 came along).
It was first produced in 1996 where is was restricted to 3 doors. Then in 1999… Read More...
Tuning the A6, S6 and RS6 models
"It is big and it is clever."
The big daddy of the Audi range. The car comes in saloon and estate versions and despite its large size is actually very agile particularly with the Quattro setup. The absolute tuners dream has to be the early S6 turbo or the later… Read More...
Audi A8 Tuning
"Your best mA8!"
The A8 is one of the best cars Audi have ever produced with a stunning range of refined and powerful engine options. For such a large car the A8 performs well and is better than many supercars. The S8 really sparkles and is the sensible option if you want an R8… Read More...
The A4 range from 1995 continuing the Audi range of high quality executive cars. In the A4 Audi had a car which rivals the BMW 3 series, albeit without the image. The range includes a selection of body styles from the Saloon to the Estate model. Reliability is up to the usual high Audi standards and the huge range of engine choices ensure there is a model suitable for most drivers needs.
The A4 is the Audi take on the executive car – something which they have executed very well. Read More...
The S3 is a good car tuning project to play with. Audi have done many modifications to the S3 including a twin intercooler and 4 wheel drive (haldex) system to help put the power down. This gives an excellent base for a tuning project and we look at the best mods for this awesome car.
Drop the S3 by as much as 20mm and fit stiffer adjustable shocks, bigger drops will need other modifications in most instances or your arches will rub on the tyres, especially if you have fitted larger rims. Read More...
The R8 is a stunning piece of engineering and is arguable one of the most easily drivable supercars around today.
Audi took the expertise they had in Lamborghini, and created the masterpiece that is the R8. In my opinion Audi took the German supercar title from the Porsche 911 with the R8. Read More...
Due to concerns about emissions and tighter controls the 2.0 TFSi engine was born and contains a number of major revisions to enhance engine efficiency. The 1.8T engine was retired and replaced with a more powerful turbo charged 2.0 FSi unit.
The most notable revision is the introduction of direct injection allowing very fine control over fuelling and as well as the extra economy on offer the engine provides a lot of extra performance. Read More...
Audi A5 Tuning
"Making the A5 go as well as it looks"
The A5 is arguably one of the best looking cars to come from Audi in recent times and was launched in 2007. The last coupe made by Audi was the 80 and it’s nice to see another sporty coupe released.
It is a very sporty looking… Read More...
The 1781 cubic centimeters in this 20 Valve turbo charged engine represents what must be one of the most tunable engines around today and is found in family cars like the A3 and A4 and on sports oriented models like the TT, and the S3.
The fact these engines can be tuned to such extremes indicates the versatility of them.
The 20 valves are arranged with 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves per cylinder. Read More...
he Audi 80 showed that large practical executive cars could be fun and involving to drive. The solidly built German engineered Audi 80 has stood the test of time and there are plenty of great examples still on our roads.
Improving the handling should be your first priority in your 80 tuning project. When pressed hard the Audi 80 saloons have a tendency to lift a wheel.
An anti roll bar and strut brace can help keep the wheels on the ground. Read More...
The S6 was, in it’s time, the flagship Audi. The interior was trimmed with carbon fibre, long before it became a popular aftermarket option.
It offered fantastic performance and still looked like an ordinary accountants car!
There were only a few engine options which varied from region to region. The 2.2 (ANN) Turbo was pretty rare with more of the 4.2 V8 (AEC) engines being sold. in 1999 the 2.2 Turbo was dropped and only the 4.2 V8 was offered. Read More...
Audi 100 Tuning
"Going the full 100 percent"
The Audi 100 was a very popular large executive class car, and production ran from 1968 right up to 1994. Thankfully there are still plenty of good examples of this car around dated prior to 1990 and most are now cherished by their owners and being restored. A testimony to Audi’s legendary build… Read More...
R8 V10 Tuning
"This might makes some people iR8!"
The R8 is a stunning piece of engineering we loved the V8 and now we have been treated to the mighty V10.
We did wonder what would fill the positively cavernous engine bay of the R8 and now we know.
Audi took the expertise they had from Lamborghini, used a… Read More...
For those looking for the ultimate sleeper then you would be daft to dismiss the Audi RS6.
It’s massive heavy body is propelled by a monstrously powerful 450 bhp engine.
If you are not going to reduce the weight then just increase the power to silly figures seemed to be Audi’s mantra. Read More...
The TT represents a bit of a departure from the norm for Audi and they created a great and fun sports car. Styling is somewhat unfairly criticised as being a bit like a beetle but the car clearly is a trend setter rather than a trend chaser.
Audi can now put their excellent range of engines and quattro drive train to good use in a chassis that has been designed with fun and handling in mind. Read More...
