Oil burners seldom make fast cars but Audi thinks otherwise. the firm had the Le-Mans winning R10 TDI and the upcoming R15 TDI and the 500bhp Q7 V12 TDI. So, tuners would be better off beginning with one of these performance diesels and that’s what B & B have exactly done.
B&B has taken the 3.0l Audi A4 TDI and put it on steroids.
The range topping 240 bhp diesel has been tweaked to give out a whopping 325 bhp! There are two stages and Stage-1 boosts power to 285 bhp and 585 Nm of torque while Stage-2 gives 325 bhp and 600 Nm of torque !
