Hofele Design’s 2010 Audi A8

Hofele, a German-based tuning company, has just released new details about their new kit of modifications for the Audi A8. The kit’s release coincides with Audi’s launch of the new version of their flagship four-door.

The Hofele version of the Audi A8 is said to have faster acceleration times of 5.2- and 5.3-seconds to 100 km/h depending on petrol or diesel engine.  The petrol 4.2-liter FSI V8 has been boosted up to 400 PS (294 kW / 395 bhp) and up to 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) of torque.

 Meanwhile the TDI is improved to 395 horsepower (290 kW / 390 bhp) and up to 880 Nm (649 lb-ft).  Fuel consumption remains at 9.5- (29.7 mpg imp) and 7.6-liters (37.1 mpg imp) of fuel per 100 kilometers, for the petrol and diesel, respectively.

additional brake power is provided by larger, ventilated steel disc brakes that can be exchanged with ceramic discs. Six-piston brakes were also added.  The car’s suspension is lowered by between 40 and 80 millimeters, though it returns back to its original factory setting when traveling at 80 mph (129 km/h) and over.  New alloy wheels measuring 9.5 x 20” front and 10 x 22” in back are also included in the package.
Other enhancements include a new front end with larger air inlets and front fender outlets, redesigned side sills, and a remodeled rear bumper with diffuser and quad exhaust.  A decklid spoiler has also been added.  Inside, quilted two-tone leather, Alcantara, and a new steering wheel can all be found.
Hofele has yet to release pricing details for its Audi A8 kit.
