Audi R8 (2015 - 4S) 5.2 V10 FSI 620 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 620 to 640 hp (+20 hp, +3%) and torque from 580 to 590 Nm (+10 Nm). ECU — Bosch MED17.1.1. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2015 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.

The Audi community is one of the most active in Europe for chip tuning. The e-tron line is Audi's EV range within the VAG group. Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group (VAG), Europe's largest automotive group. Audi Sport's naturally aspirated engines are a distinct calibration segment. Audi Sport is Audi's performance division, building the RS models and supercars. The Audi community is one of the most open in Europe, with a large library of ready-made Stage files.

APR and Revo are the leading tuning brands for Audi, right up to Stage 1+. On Audi, Stage 1 usually fits within the standard turnaround time.
