PPI Automotive Design will introduce a PPI Razor GTR at this year’s Essen Motor Show.
The goal was to improve the power-to-weight ratio of the Audi R8 while simultaneously strengthening the motor, increasing performance, improving handling dynamics, and managing to reduce the weight of the Audi R8.
The result, after this extensive modification, is a car with 580 hp / 427 kW at 7,400 rpm, a maximum torque of 600 Nm at 6,200 rpm at its disposal, and a weight decrease of 250 kg over its serial counterpart (serial curb weight 1,580 kg). Weight decrease was achieved thanks to extensice use of carbon fiber. 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) comes in just 3.7 seconds and the top speed is 332 km/h.
PPI ads a new front bumper with a specially engineered front diffuser. New sideskirts highlight the sprty profile and improve aerodynamic stability. Larger air inlets in connection with a new full LED-headlight unit present the two-seater with an even more athletic face. More importantly, these air inlets feed the radiators with additional fresh air and channels through the new front hood to provide optimal cooling to the brake system.
In order to perfectly balance out the down-force behaviour of the front-axle with the rear axle, PPI equips the RAZOR GTR with a special rear wing with an adjustable Gurney-flap.
The RAZOR GTR utilizes specially designed lightweight MAG11 forged PPI wheels. At the front, 10Jx19 MAG11 wheels with 255/35 ZR 19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres are fitted and an impressive 11.5J x 20 MAG11 wheels with 325/25 ZR 20 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres are used at the rear.
PPI also developed a special high-performance braking system available only for the RAZOR GTR that can be identified by its metallic orange-colored brake callipers. New coil over kit comes equipped with a Hydraulic Lift System, which can increase ground clearance by up to 45 millimeters.
The serial interior is replaced by Onyx Nubuck-leather with orange-colored accents and arbon fiber materials.
