VF Engineering knows power. By strapping superchargers on everything from Porsche 911′s to BMW M3′s, they know how to give an otherwise stock car a major power increase without compromising any other part of the car. We’ve sampled all their Supercharger packages at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, and we filmed mini-segments with each of them. This is the 560 horsepower, Supercharged Audi R8 4.2. Video below.

Nice mini-segment TST! I would LOVE to see the VF Engineering R8 above vs the PES Tuning R8 Raptor, one is white, one is black, they're both supercharged and are quoted at 560hp and 550hp respectively!
*note: The PES Tuning car made 560 HP on 93 octane, which is available in the NY area, where we tested the car. On the west coast, only 91 is available, which accounts for the 10 hp difference between VF's car and PES's.
Then it would be an even better match up!! Which one does TST like more? I have to go with PES because of all the cool Bullrun stuff integrated into the car.
The packages are nearly identical in terms of how the supercharger is set up and integrated. I don't necessarily care for all the extra electronics and stuff, especially since it didn't keep those guys out of jail on the rally last year.
Lol on the Jail comment*
I know it's probably been done already, but I'd like to see TST's comparison of a SC R8 vs a V10 R8.. that'd be cool. Hell maybe just a comparison of lap times on the time attack.. speaking of, when is that time board coming on the web site?
