Because of the popularity that came about mostly because of its exotic looks, we often forget that carbon fiber is actually very functional as well.

In fact, its ability to insulate the intake tract from engine heat has been utlilized by race teams for decades, including those of Ingolstadt's own Audi AG.

So it's only fitting that your own example of Audi's first supercar receive an intake system of such race-worthy pretentions and build-quality, courtesy of GMP Performance!

Constructed of aircraft-grade prepreg carbon fiber, our airbox acts as a shield, protecting the filters from power-robbing heat-soak and providing more consistent performance. And you get the stunning space-age looks as an added bonus!

Each kit includes:

- Autoclaved pre-preg construction with carbon weave that matches OEM Audi carbon fiber engine bay components
- Clear coated with automotive urethane and hand polished to a mirror finish
- OEM perfect fit
- Perspex windows that resist UV deterioration
- Unlimited mileage guarantee
- Can be used in conjunction with Carbonio intake system and purchased as an optional upgrade over the solid carbon fiber cover

*Available for R8 4.2 V8 and 5.2 V10*
**This is the lid only. If you would like to purchase with the filters and venturis, please refer to the links below and add the Window Airbox**
