\"Audi<\/a><\/p>\n

This very unique Audi R8 was built by Keith Murray at his company Dialynx Performance<\/a> to compete in hill climb racing. The engine is a hybrid VAG inline-four consisting of a 2.0 L ALT 20v aluminum block with a 16v ABF head from a Mk3 Golf GTI. Although the 16v head doesn’t breath as well as a 20v head it is easier to convert to solid lifters. Custom work was required to have the crank, camshafts and water pump to work together. The engine produces 650 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque on 100 RON race fuel and 30 psi (2.1 bar) of boost from a Garrett HTA turbocharger. Power goes through an Elite six-speed sequential transmission and Elite LSD. A focus of weight reduction paid off with a 2,107 lb (956 kg) dry weight and a 45:55 weight distribution.<\/p>\n
