Give Your Car The RS-Treatment With These Audi Modifications
Looking for a more aggressive or sporty looking car does not mean you need to buy a completely new vehicle. The Audi RS5 is an incredible high performing sport car and has many features that can be used for inspiration in enhancing your car’s look and feel. Upgrade your current Audi model to RS by making a few interior and exterior changes. There are several Audi modifications that can be adopted from the current RS models to transform your car into an ultra-sporty Audi.
Audi S And RS Models
With the focus shifting to manufacturing enhanced sport performance cars, Audi began their transition with the 1990 S2 Coupé and later taking it a level up with the Audi RS 2 Avant. These sport models are easily identifiable with the ‘S” and “RS” badges normally found on the front grills of the car. Sport models consist of Audi’s trademarked four-wheel drive system coupled with carbon fiber interior, firmer suspension systems and unique internal engine combustion. RS models are considered Audi’s highest performing models, which use the latest and advanced technology evident from enhanced engine performance to sporty exterior finishes and more.
There are definite modifications from each of these models that can be used to optimize the look and feel of your current Audi model to a sportier version. Using the design of the Audi RS5 as a reference, below are some modifications that can be done to make your car look and feel sportier.
Change The Design Of The Front Grill
Nothing says sporty more than having the right front grill. The Audi RS5 boasts a single frame radiator grill with a honeycomb structure, providing a mean looking speed machine. Lateral air inlets appear on each side of the grill in a contrast color. Implementing this change on your car will provide an athletic exterior finish.
Using Sportier Interior Seat Colors
The RS5 interior exudes the appearance of a sports racing car. With black seats and red segmented areas being the focal point of this sporty seating, choose either leather or Alcantara material to add this nifty modification to your car’s interior.
Exhaust Modifications On Your Audi
Turn the road into a racetrack with an upgraded exhaust system that echoes Audi’s high-performance RS models. The RS model contains an exhaust system that not only looks sporty and cool but also provides the benefit of a cooler engine, longer engine life and increase in acceleration. Upgrading your current exhaust system will not only add better performance to your car but also add to the overall sporty look of your car.
Upgrading The Size Of Your Wheels
The advantages of adding bigger wheels to your Audi span from an improved grip on the road to an overall athletic look. Bigger wheels also improve stability and enable shorter breaking distances and added suspension. The RS models are kitted with 20” alloy wheels, which can be emulated on your Audi.
Adding Six-Piston Brake Calipers
An important part of the brake system is the brake calipers. Six piston brake calipers provide immediate stop response by creating friction with the rotors on your cars wheels. The standard color is black and not only does it improve safety but also adds another cool sporting feature to your car.
Using all, if not some, of these suggested modifications will definitely enhance the interior and exterior performance of your Audi.
