500 Horsepower Audi RS5 From SKN

German tuner SKN has rolled out some performance upgrades for the Audi RS5 to bring the power of the 4.2 litre V8 up from the factory 450 horsepower to 500 horsepower. The 50 hp increase comes from just a reprogrammed ECU and Milltek Hockenheim Edition sports exhaust. A remarkable effort.

The SKN Audi RS5’s lowered ride height comes from a set of Bilstein PSS10 coilovers. To fill up the wheel arches SKN employs a set of 20-inch lightweight BBS CH-R wheels wrapped in high performance Pirelli P-Zero rubber in a 285/30/20 size.

Weighing in at 1725 kg, the heavy grand tourer benefits from the power increase to clock a 0-100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds and a delimited top speed of 280 km/h. The car also comes with a 36-month warranty from SKN.
