The Audi R8 is a beast, making 600 horsepower from its 5.2-liter V10 engine. It is a track-focused, performance sports car that can put many a race car to shame with its powerful performance.

But as YouTube channel LivingLifeFast points out to us, with just a few changes and tweaks, the R8 transforms into an even more-impressive road beast, jetting more than 1,270 horses. Here’s the down-low on this very cool car.

Alex’s Scary 1,270HP+ Audi TT R8

At first glance, from the front, the Audi R8 looks stock but one glance at the back and you know this is one very different car. Says Alex Collins, owner of this cool car and a member of QS Tuning, “I trust the car and I trust the work we’ve done on the car”. At heart, the Audi R8 is actually a lot similar to the Lamborghini Huracan but wears sedate styling and is also less engaging as a ride. But then again, this is the car you’d want as a daily driver, even if you get it tuned the way Collins has done.

This particular twin-turbocharged Audi R8 is a trophy winner in Britain. It's the work of QS Tuning and carried with a twin-turbo kit, giving it just a little under 1,300 horses – 1,276 to be exact.

The top speed of the car is over 210 MPH and it looks like a vision in white, with bronze accents, speeding down asphalt in the poetry of motion. Alex also said it does a quarter-mile at 159.7 MPH, making it quite the speed devil and trophy winner. This Audi TT R8 has already amassed some 25 trophies, and it's only getting started.

Collins is also pretty proud of the Vossen MX-2 Forged Wheels, with brushed polished Brickell bronze and Ferrari yellow calipers. And admittedly, the wheels make so much of a difference to the looks of his near 1,300-horsepower Audi.

Alex Collins is not new to tuning since he’s the son of Britain's top Audi tuning specialist, Kim Collins. QST claims to tune just about every Audi there is. Kim Collins started QST two decades back and tweaks Audis into the ultimate dream cars, with help from Motoren-Technik-Mayer, the German tuning house for all things Audi motorsport.

Now, along with Audi, they also do other VW cars and can help turn your stock car into an asphalt-chewing machine.
