Potter and Rich Create 1000HP R8 V10 Plus

Dripping in cam you might be forgiven for thinking this quadruple digit demon is an exclusive SEMA show build, but it’s much more than that. It all starts with the engine. One. Serious. Engine.

Earth Mover

Horsepower gets thrown around so much these days it’s hard to remember how much of a sledgehammer a standard R8 is. Potter and Rich have taken this car to a staggering level by adding boost, and a lot of it. And, if this isn’t enough for you there are more powerful versions available. Buyer beware. Versions in excess of 1,500hp are available!

Proper Tires

Getting power to the ground is the responsibility of 4 ultra sticky Kumho tires that are mounted to front wheels measuring 305mm wide and rear tires measuring 335mm wide. Both are mounted to 18” wheels that respond instantly to the supercharger.

Keep it Together

Helping to keep the back end in check,  KW suspension is found at all four corners. The company even went as far to utilize an ultra high-end rig to dial in the car to perfection. Composure and predictability are paramount when driving something that accelerates as fast as this vehicle!

Air Flow

With enough power to punch through the air like a heavyweight boxer, this car can take advantage of aerodynamic gains. Potter and Rich went with an aero package that matches the look of the car and strays away from the maniacal triple decker wings commonly seen in Time Attack. It gives the car a crisp functional look that isn’t over the top. Overall, it is safe to say that this 1000HP beast looks the part.

4 Rings to Rule Them All

We often speak of Group B and the Quattro as the great golden era of Audi racing, but modern tuners are exceeding limits that were unheard of in the 80s. This is a fantastic example of how the aftermarket and private builder has caught up and exceeded factory performance!
