AVUS Performance Audi A5 Coupe Matte Black with 275HP

It appears that AVUS Performance wants to avoid any mistranslation troubles after the outcry it caused in the media for the RS6 Avant 'White Power' moniker, so the German tuning boutique chose to play it safe and simply name its new proposal, the A5 Coupe Matte Black. The vehicle's stealthily looks were achieved by wrapping the car all around with matt black foil and painting some details like the front grille, mirror covers and the rear diffuser in a black finish.

The A5 Coupe's looks are rounded off by a set of 21-inch Jofiel black Limited Edition wheels in sizes 9,5x21" front and 11x21" at the rear and a set of S5 LED tail lights.

This A5 Coupe comes with Audi's 3.0-liter V6 TDI diesel engine featuring an upgraded ECU that helps boost output to 275HP and 600Nm ( 442.48 lb/ft) of torque. Last but not least, the German tuning house has equipped the A5 Coupe with KW coilovers with adjustable compression and rebound dampening.

Avus Performance Takes on the Audi Q7

German tuning boutique Avus Performance has unleashed its latest offering based on the pre-facelift Audi Q7 fitted with the 4.2-liter V8 TDI diesel engine. To give the large SUV some extra oomph, Avus Performance updated the software of the V8 diesel's ECU thus boosting output from 326HP to 365HP and peak torque from 760Nm to 880Nm or 649-lbs/ft. According to the German firm, the result is a 0-62mph (100km/h) time in the 6.0 second range and a top speed of 245km/h or 152mph.

Furthermore, the Q7's air suspension has been upgraded with a new electronic lowering module that allows the SUV's ride height to be lowered by up to 90mm.

The package also includes 23-inch alloy wheels in silver, titanium and various other colors, LED daytime running lights, darker tail lamps, black front grille and optionally, a high-end audio-video system with additional monitors integrated at the back of the front headrests.

AVUS Performance Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with 585HP

In less than a week's time, AVUS Performance has gone from unknown to tuning stardom (ok, you get our point) cranking out its third consecutive proposal. After the Audi RS6 Avant that stirred controversy over to its allegedly mistranslated name and the Audi A5 Coupe Matte Black, the latest creation to come out of the German tuning house's boutique is based on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Featuring a 'Stage 3' engine kit, the C63 AMG's reworked 6.3-liter V8 delivers an output of 585HP and 740Nm or 545 lbs-ft of peak torque.

That's compared to the standard car's 457HP and 600Nm or 442 lbs-ft of torque. AVUS claims that along with the removal of the C63 AMG's speed limiter, the sedan can now reach a maximum speed of 320km/h or 199mph.

Other mechanical upgrades include 8piston brake calipers with 380mm diameter, a new set of springs and coilovers that lower the C63 AMG's ride height and a stainless steel exhaust system that promises to produce a more aggressive sound from the V8 engine.

Visually, as with the other proposals we've seen from AVUS Performance, you'll really need to take a close look at the car to spot the changes. These are limited to a new set of 19-inch multispoke AMG alloy wheels (20's are available as an option) and the black paint finish on the mirror covers, rooftop, front grille and the Mercedes-Benz star.

AVUS Issues Press Release on Audi RS6 'White Power' Name, Blames Translator

Dang the power of online media... Just hours after the release of AVUS Performance's modified Audi RS6 Avant that stirred a huge online controversy over its name "White Power" (see what was said on Carscoop here), as many people interpreted it as a racial slur, the German company issued an official statement apologizing to those that were offended. The tuning firm said that it was a matter of mistranslation from German to English blaming its press agency. AVUS also said that the car will be renamed simply to Audi RS6 V10 biturbo.

Our opinion? This whole matter brings to mind the Southpark episode "Chef Goes Nanners". In a nutshell, all the adults were in a racial fight over South Park's flag that depicted white figures hanging a black one on a scaffold, so they asked the opinion of the boys who debated the topic at school.

And while everyone thought that the boys were divided over the racial subject, in the end it is revealed that the boys hadn't even noticed the color of the figures shown on the flag. The whole time they thought that the issue at hand was capital punishment...

AVUS PERFORMANCE STATEMENT

Dear visitors, readers and customers,

We are very sorry and unfortunate for what has actually happened and is currently happening to our first press report. Due to a mistranslation of our latest project car - the Audi RS6 V10 biturbo - there were lots of radical right-wing rumors on all different blogs and pages that received our first press report. We distance ourselves from the project title - it was done by our press agency which obviously mistranslated our German project name into English. Furthermore we distance ourselves from anything that has to do with that group synonym and we would also like to say sorry if anyone got personally touched.

Deepest Regards

The AVUS PERFORMANCE Team

Audi RS6 Avant 'White Power' with 700HP and 211mph by AVUS Performance

The new Audi RS6 Avant by AVUS Performance may not look as aggressive as other tuning proposals, but it sure packs a mighty punch under the bonnet. Not that the standard RS6 with its 580HP and 650Nm ( 479.35 lb/ft) V10 actually needs more power, but the Berlin-based tuner believes that there's space for improvement. That translates to a new high performance exhaust system with a diameter of 70mm (2.7''), racing catalysts and a new ECU software resulting to an output of 700HP and 800Nm or 589.97 lb/ft of torque.

With these upgrades the Audi RS6 White Power sprints from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in a blistering 3,9 seconds, to 200km/h (124mph) in 12.1 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 340km/h or 211.27mph. The 'standard' RS6 Avant accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 4.6 seconds and reaches an electronically limited maximum speed of 250km/h or 155mph.

Additional modifications include a new set of springs that lower the car by 40mm or 1.6'', massive 22-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels and carbon fiber front lip spoiler and rear diffuser.
