AWE TUNING POWERED B8.5 S4 CLINCHES WORLD RECORD

Long time AWE Tuning customer and supporter, Pete Glykos, propelled his Audi B8.5 S4 down the drag way for an 11.4 second sprint, setting a new world record quarter mile time for the Audi B8/B8.5.

“I’m stoked. The great thing about the B8 with AWE/GIAC Stage 2 is the consistency. It can run mid 11s over and over again. It’s just incredible. All of the AWE Tuning parts performed flawlessly, and the S4 sounded damn good breaking that record to boot,” Glykos explained.

Glykos’ S4 is equipped with only bolt-on components and off-the-shelf software.

The record-setting S4’s modification list is as follows:

• AWE Tuning B8.5 Stage 2 Performance Pulley Kit
• AWE Tuning Resonated Downpipes and Touring Edition Exhaust
• G.I.A.C. Stage 2 V2 Engine Software
• G.I.A.C. DSG Performance Software
• Upgraded intake, heat exchanger and reservoir
• Lightweight front/rear rotors and wheels

Glyko’s full track day recap can be found on Audizine.
