We already know that the newly launched Audi RS5 is a pretty fabulous car. Actually, it is pretty fabulous driven in isolation as if you try one against its smaller sibling, the supercharged S5 (cabriolet), it doesn't gain much ground as all of its power and torque comes in high up the rev range. Usually a 4.2liter normally aspirated V8 is stupendous but a supercharged 3.0liter V6performs just as well due to the torque it produces. And so, to avoid embarrassment, a RS5 owner can head over to Senner Tunning for their latest RS5 tuning package. To fend off other Audis, Porsches and other Uber-wagens the 4.2liter FSI V8 gets an ECU upgrade and a valve controlled stainless steel exhaust system. From more precise monitoring and fuelling, as well as that freer flow exhaust system the RS5 now makes 499bhp instead of 444bhp and more importantly 478Nm of torque. Up from 430Nm previously. It should make the RS5 hustle slightly faster than before. It does, as the RS5 gets to 100km/h from zero in 4.2seconds. Down from 4.6 seconds. The maximum speed is also increased as the limiter is lifted from the usual German 250km/h limit to 280km/h. 300km/h is another option that could be had with a tire upgrade. So after the 50bhp power upgrade, Senner Tuning shoves 20inch wheels under the arches of the RS5. 9.5inch x 20 up front and 11inch x 20 at the rear. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires are the rubbers and the tires are 255/30R20 fronts and 295/25R20 at the rear. The 20inch alloys come in the Spider SC1 design and the Varianza T1S design. The display car featured the Spider on the driver's side and the Varianza on the passenger side. I suppose Senner Tuning were a little lazy for the photo shoot. Do note that the car is a left hand drive model, and the driver's seat is in the 'wrong' side of the car. The Senner Tuning RS5 package is rounded up by carbon fiber side mirrors, a front grille and windo frames in their Black Edition trim. The interior gets the usual carbon fiber bits and pieces as well as the usual leather trimming for the seats, steering and door panels. So the RS5 gets 50bhp. The S4 gets about the same from a tuning package and more torque. It usually is the case for blown engines to make more power than a normally aspirated one. Even one as good as the RS5. However, the one very important thing I have to add it the V8 makes a stonkingly marvelous sound that no supercharged V6 can every dream of achieving. Its all about the whole experience, not only all out power. But the 50bhp that the Senner Tuning RS5 makes is very much appreciated for RS5 owners who wants to play Top Trumps with the guys at the golf club.

German Tuner, Senner Tuning, has come up with a tuning package for the Nissan 370Z and named it the Asphalt Surfer. For an ECU-remapping of

After showing off its recent tune up of the Audi A1 1.6TDi turbodiesel , Senner Tuning have now released pictures of a very yummy chocolate brown colored Audi A5 2.0TFSi cabriolet. This car looks very good in a color that usually looks very dull on a car but here it looks stupendous in it with those silver bits and polished alloy wheels. This look could be a new trend coming up here. Anyway, Senner Tuning upgrades the looks of the A5 cabriolet with an AUDI RS5 style grill and bumper, silver RS type side mirrors and a lowered stance achieved by KW Inox coilovers paired with 20 inch Varianza TIS alloy wheels and rubber bands for tires. Lovely indeed. The 2.0liter direct injection 4 cylinder engine has some ECU tweaks as well as a Senner Tuning custom stainless steel exhaust system. This bumps up the power to around 275bhp (up from 211bhp) and also hammers out a nice 430Nm (from 350Nm) worth of torque. The interior gets little bits of carbon fiber tacked on the doors, rear side interior panels, center/gear level tunnel and parts of the dash. The steering wheel and the dashboard gets its fair share of carbon too. All the better to spruce up a dashboard that is pretty similar to the 4 door A4. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to customizing a car, and according to the press release, Senner Tuning expects to sell the tuning bits that you can see and read in here for around 20,000Euro (add that to the 55,000Euro for an A5 cabriolet), Chocolate brown paint included. Very Yummy indeed.
