Sporty and luxurious – the Audi A 8 from JE DESIGN

21.11.2004

Complete aerodynamic kit
Chrome-plated 4-pipe stainless steel rear silencer system
“PS” 20-inch set of wheels

JE DESIGN from Leingarten/Germany, a long-standing specialist for Audi tuning, is presenting as the world’s premier tuner a comprehensive customising suite for the new Audi A 8.

A front spoiler with enlarged air inlets and additional side vents lend the Audi an impressive front appearance besides generating greater downforce and, as such, enhanced driving stability. Side sills with air intakes per set enhance the air supply in the wheel arches and make the A 8 look lower. The rear view is adorned by a rear spoiler on the boot lid, which produces greater downforce on the rear axle, plus a rear valance attachment with diffuser. It is also possible to keep the sensors of a PARC acoustic system from the series model.

A completely new development in the form of a chrome-plated 4-pipe rear silencer system with a tailpipe diameter of 101 mm produces a sporty V 8 sound and also has a performance-enhancing effect.

JE DESIGN fitted the new A 8 with the 2-piece “PS” complete wheel set featuring a stainless steel outer rim ring in the dimension 8.5 x 20 inch on the front axle and 10 x 20 inch on the rear axle. These wheels have been fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres in the size 255/35 ZR 20 at the front and 285/30 ZR 20 at the back. By way of an alternative, the wheel size 8.5 x 20 inch with 255/35 ZR 20 tyres both at the front and back is also available. Thanks to special adaptors, which are included in the complete sets of wheels, it is also possible to continue to use a standard-fitted air pressure monitoring system with the JE DESIGN wheels fitted.

All JE DESIGN components are compatible with all A 8 motorizations as well as being suitable both for a short or long wheelbase. All the components come with a TÜV parts certificate and are fastened at either the original mounting points or by bonding, thus avoiding any need for additional drilling.

Performance enhancements are currently in preparation for the 4.0 l TDI and for the 4.2 l V 8 petrol engine model, which will boost the A 8 to approx. 450 bhp / 331 kW.
