B&B Automobiltechnik has tuned any number of Volkswagen Group products over the years. But can you improve on the Audi R8 supercar?

The folks at B&B think they know best. Starting from the ground up, they've fitted 20-inch rims with 235/30R20 tires in front and 305/25R20s in the rear.

New performance springs lower ride height by 0.8 inch in front and 0.4 inch in the rear. B&B says it is working on additional height-adjustable suspension settings.

The tuner also provides two stages of engine upgrades, with the top upgrade boosting output of the midmounted 4.2-liter V8 from 414 to 450 horsepower while trimming 0-60-mph acceleration times by 0.3 second.
