An Audi A4 is the type of car you'd relate to a working man, who would drop his children off at school in the morning and take the expressway to work after. If you were Jürgen Hohenester, you'd head to the nearby airstrip and attempt breaking the Guinness speed record and get this- in an eco friendly fashion.

Tuner Jürgen Hohenester has tuned the Audi A4 3.0-liter V6 to reach a top speed of 364.6 km/h. Using Bio gas as fuel, the German tuner could go even faster with 800hp on tap but decided to limit it to 700hp to keep the transmission and the passengers intact longer. With this feat, Mr.Jürgen Hohenester has successfully entered the Guinness book.
