AP Dank Audi S5


Auto Plaza Dank is not actually a car tuning company but it’s a place where people from Japan sell their modified cars. That’s where this modified Audi S5 was posted for sale after receiving an impressive tuning package. The car features a body kit from Rieger which makes it look more wider and sportier.

The Riger aerodynamics package for the Audi S5 consists of an aggressive front add-on lip spoiler, new side skirts, a roof spoiler and a rear diffuser that further increases the car’s sportiness. The owner of this car installed a new suspension system with special H&R coils that lower the ride height.

Also, this modified Audi S5 sits on 29″ HF27-S wheels from Hyperforged with thick spokes which are wrapped in wide tires. The customization continued to the car’s interior where this Audi S5 received a red themed interior.

The Red Devil Audi R8


With this great red color and agressive look it surely deserves it’s nickname, “The Red Devil“. This car could compete with any other car when it comes to looks and performances. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds and even though it’s maximum speed is just 252 km/h this ride would impress anyone watching it.

Paris Show: Audi e-tron Spyder Concept puts Porsche's Boxster on Notice


In order to keep its e-high rolling, Audi has created yet another pretty and efficient vehicle for Paris: the e-tron Spyder. Audi's latest plug-in no-top is powered by a 300-horse 3.0-liter V6 TDI outfitted with two turbochargers and two 88-horsepower / 64 kW electric motors; the results are impressive, to say the least.

The e-tron system in this car will help it hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds on its way to a limited 250 km/h (155 mph), provide an all-electric range of 31 miles, return a combined 128.4 mpg, and only pollute your air with 59 g of CO2 per kilometer. Total range is 621 miles for the 1,450-kg car.

Underneath, Audi has installed an "e-quattro" torque-vectoring system that helps put its 1,002 Nm (650 Nm from the TDI and 352 Nm from the motors, aka 739 lb ft) to the ground properly should you give it the beans.

Dimensions for the little electric torque monster are 4.06 meters long, 1.81 m wide, and 1.11 m tall, all with a wheelbase of 2.43 meters. Like other Audi concepts, all the lights are LED and likely will be should a production version of this ever appear.

Audi says the four rings on the nose "disappear beneath the front hatch" to reveal a charging plug and a display showing the vehicle's charge. Inside, there'a bunch of technical wizardry feeding the display in the driver-centric layout, but nothing really worth writing home about.

Check out the pics below and let us know what you think. Hopefully, the reaction to the e-tron Spyder will be a wee bit more positive than the 'quattro concept' (which should have stolen the show).
