TTS-Performance twin supercharged Audi R8 4.2 FSI vs. Audi R8 V10
There is no V8 R8 on the market currently. With the second generation car Audi only offers the naturally aspirated V10. That means first generation 4.2 FSI V8 powered R8's are the best value in the R8 market but what do you do about the performance difference with the V10?
Well, make it a non-issue with forced induction. TTS-Performance in the UK offers a supercharger system with twin Rotrex blowers.
They limit boost to 15 psi on the stock internals which is a ton anyway:

TTS PERFORMANCE. Are pleased to announce their latest development. The Audi R8 'Twin supercharger conversion'. TTS go where others only dare to follow. TTS paired 2 Rotrex C38 superchargers and mated them to a CNC Billet mounting bracket running both superchargers from an 8 rib belt for reliability. These two superchargers blow through a huge charge cooler that controls the air temperature into the engine. This charge cooler in turn is cooled by a large front mounted radiator. There is no compromise this system excels any other. Making in excess of 700 bhp with boost limited to 15 psi ( 1 Bar ).
How does it perform? Well, the supercharged Red V8 R8 4.2 in the video which is a manual example has no problem with a 1st gen R-Tronic V10 R8. It bridges and exceeds the performance gap between the motors:
