Looking to upgrade your pre-OPF Gen 2 Audi R8 V10? 🔊
Akrapovič still has a solution available for the moment —and as you can hear from the video, it makes a serious difference to the character of the naturally aspirated V10.
We’ve been running this Akrapovič titanium exhaust system on our own R8 for over three years, giving us plenty of real-world experience with the system.
It retains the factory exhaust valve control, while opening up the tone and volume of the V10 and adding more character on the overrun without taking away from what makes the R8 such a usable road car.
And it’s not just about the sound.
Akrapovič figures:
• 19.5 kg lighter than the factory system
• +11.5 HP at 5,950 rpm
• +20 Nm at 6,050 rpm
For an idea of the difference in sound, measured at 3,750 rpm:
Factory exhaust: 100 dB
Akrapovič: 105.6 dB 🔊
The system is finished with Akrapovič carbon-fibre components that complement the factory Audi carbon weave, making it look every bit as good as it sounds.
With a substantial weight saving, measurable performance increase and a much more engaging soundtrack, it’s a great way of enhancing the R8 without taking away from the character of the car.
With the naturally aspirated Audi V10 now firmly part of a disappearing generation, this is also your chance to secure one of these systems while Akrapovič still has availability.
🎥 Turn the volume up and have a listen to our R8.
