We got used to the fact that the fine-tuning of German cars is mostly performed by the natives of Germany. Much rarer is the case when tuners from other European countries are trying to improve Prussian cars, but when a studio from another continent does something for a «Deutsch» is as rare as the sun eclipse. Still, sometimes overseas tuners find some inspiration. At this time – quite modest American Bureau Stasis: it has “warmed up” Audi A4 sedan.

It was done with the tested methods: they gave a new air filter to 2.0 TFSI (211 hp, 350 N • m) turbomotor, and finally put him the right “brains”. Valuable present in combination with NLP made its service: touched “German” generously increased its power to 255 hp and 400 newton-meters, and it is 5.3 sec to one hundred kilometers and 250 km / h maximum speed. The second indicator of the “donor” is the same, with the acceleration to 100 km / h – a bit worse (6,9 sec).
And it would be easier for the A4 to turn the vehicle: in bureau Stasis they’ve put on it short and more rigid Ohlins springs, powerful Alcon braking system. Luxurious 20-inch discs do fetch the picture.
By the way, Americans have shown a sense of proportion, not only when the were making a car, but also in the price list. For their works, they charge a modest fee - $ 5999. In general - buy AudiA4 2.0 TFSI for $ 40 thousand and run to the studio. But you can wait. Most likely, tuners will soon introduce a sales turbokit for the A4. Installed on the car of the previous generation, this set shook out of the 200 hp-strong engine additional 120 hp.
