For some people, even a car that already packs a walloping 420 horsepower under its hood isn’t enough to satisfy their lust for speed. These are the very same people that look at a car like the Audi R8 and think of ways to bump up the supercar’s already impressive performance output. They might think of themselves as torque hungry fellows. We think of them as heroes. Evolution Motorsports is a US-based tuning company that specializes on these sorts of things and their latest project involves taking an Audi R8 V8 and outfitting it with their very own EVOMS R8 Twin Turbo, a performance system that taps the R8’s true potential as one of the best supercars on the planet. Despite its stature, Evolution Motorsports believes that the R8 lacks in true raw power. So to tap into that, they meticulously designed and engineered a twin turbo conversion system that shoots up the R8’s performance output all the way up to 800 horsepower. The best part is that the 800 horsepower upgrade is only the beginning of Evolution Motorsports’ project for the Audi R8. The folks from Arizona are also building packages for the R8 that will see its pony output rise up to 900 and even 1000+ horses under the hood. Talk about unleashing the R8’s true potential, huh?

Nice review of a nice car.
 i wonder if you can buy one and do the necessary conversions to make it road legal and use it as a daily car. Or order it with the V10 bi-turbo from the RS6..That would be EPIC!!
 Audi Sport is making use of the opportunity offered by the GT3 regulations and will obtain FIA homologation of an evolution-version of the R8 LMS which features numerous technical improvements compared with last year’s model.
