APS of Brackley has announced over the weekend the Sportec Audi S5 upgrade program which includes quite a significant gain in horsepower output. The Sportec Audi S5 is powered by the standard 3.0 TFSI 3-litre supercharged V6 engine that has been modified to output an extra 97 bhp and 80 Nm of torque. The Sportec Audi S5 develops a total of 425 bhp at 6640 rpm and 520 Nm (379 lb.ft) at 4250 rpm. The standard car outputs 328 bhp at 6000 rpm and 440 Nm (325 lb.ft).
To get the extra horses, the Sportec Audi S5 has received a free flowing air filter and an ECU remap.
It's not all about the total output, but how that power is delivered.
The tuner says the Sportec Audi S5 offers 80% of the maximum torque from 2750 to 6250 rpm.
The performance figures of the Sportec Audi S5 say it can jump from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, but the top speed is till limited to 155 mph. The Sportec Audi S5 price is 1950.00 GBP.
Sportec Press Release:
APS of Brackley, UK importer for the Swiss Sportec range of exclusive vehicle enhancements, is delighted to announce a new performance upgrade for the 2009 onward models of the Audi S5 quattro coupe and cabriolet using the 3.0-litre supercharged, V6, TFSI powerplant.
Labelled the ‘Stage One’ upgrade, Sportec’s S5 performance enhancement package consists of a free flowing air filter element and a carefully developed ECU remap. In combination this has a dramatic effect on the power characteristics of the supercharged 2995cc Audi engine, with peak power increasing from 328 bhp at 6000 rpm to
425 bhp at 6640 rpm, a significant gain of 97 bhp.
Similarly, Sportec’s Stage One upgrade delivers a prodigious increase in torque output on the Audi S5, producing a maximum of 520 Nm (379 lb.ft) at 4250 rpm, compared to peak figure of 440 Nm (325 lb.ft) from the factory.
Careful development by Sportec’s technicians ensures that over 80% of the maximum torque output is
available from 2750 to 6250 rpm, which both perfectly suits the characteristics of the car’s 7-speed S-Tronic transmission and highlights the user-friendliness of the conversion.
The additional power and torque output realised by the Sportec Stage One upgraded Audi S5 considerably enhances the in-gear and fast cruising performance of the car, in keeping with its luxury GT credentials. However, when exercised to the full, it reduces the 0-62 mph (100 kmh) by 0.5 seconds to 4.6 seconds, while top speed is limited at 155 mph for safety reasons.
Suitable for coupéand cabriolet models of the 3.0-litre TFSI supercharged Audi S5,
the Sportec Stage One upgrade is available now from APS Sportec priced at £1950.00 fitted including VAT.
