V10 Carbon Engine Brace – Audi R8 & Lamborghini Huracan Engine Bay Cross Bar Upgrade

Add Structural Style to Your V10 Supercar

If you drive an Audi R8 or Lamborghini Huracan, you’re already experiencing the thrill of one of the most iconic V10 powerplants ever built. But there’s still room to elevate the engine bay. This V10 Carbon Engine Brace replaces the factory cross brace with a lightweight, high-strength dry carbon alternative, combining functional reinforcement with motorsport-grade aesthetics.

Whether you’re displaying your engine through a glass cover or simply want to add structural refinement, this carbon brace delivers OEM+ results.

Designed for Audi R8 and Lamborghini Huracan Platforms

This engine brace has been precisely engineered to fit both the Audi R8 Gen 2 (Coupe and Spyder) and Lamborghini Huracan models. Because it uses OEM mounting points and dimensions, installation is fast, clean, and fully reversible.

Fitment Includes:

• Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015–2023), including V10, V10 Plus, and FL models

• Lamborghini Huracan (LP610-4, LP580-2, Evo, Performante)

• Compatible with coupe and Spyder variants

• Works with OEM or aftermarket engine bay panels

If you’ve already installed our R8 Carbon Engine Bay Kit, this brace completes the package with structural appeal.

Aerospace-Grade Dry Carbon Construction

Crafted from 100% dry carbon fibre, this brace is incredibly strong yet lightweight. Dry carbon offers superior rigidity compared to wet carbon alternatives and is the material of choice in motorsport and aerospace industries.

Material Specifications:

• Pre-preg dry carbon fibre

• 2×2 twill weave pattern

• Autoclave cured for consistency

• Gloss or matte UV-resistant finish

• Rigid and lightweight (~400g total)

Because of its structural role, the brace is reinforced along stress points and mount interfaces for maximum load distribution.

Performance Meets Presentation

While this carbon engine brace provides a significant weight saving over aluminum or steel options, it also adds high visual impact, especially when viewed through an engine glass cover. Clean lines, deep carbon weave, and an OEM-style design language make it ideal for supercar owners who care about every detail.

Aesthetic and Functional Benefits:

• Exposed weave adds texture to engine bay

• Factory-style shape ensures clean integration

• Weight reduction over OEM components

• Rigid structure to support light flex reduction

• Heat- and fuel-resistant resin coating

If you’ve upgraded your airbox or coil covers, this brace becomes the finishing touch that ties the entire bay together.

Easy Bolt-On Installation

No cutting, trimming, or bracket fabrication is needed. Because this part reuses factory mounting points, it can be installed using basic tools in under 30 minutes.

Installation Steps:

1. Remove OEM engine brace

2. Align carbon brace with OEM mounting points

3. Use original bolts to secure

4. Torque to OEM spec

5. Optionally apply anti-seize to fasteners

Because this upgrade is fully reversible, it can be swapped out at any time or transferred to another vehicle.

Pairs Perfectly with Other Carbon Upgrades

To complete the ultimate V10 engine bay, pair the V10 Carbon Engine Brace with the following components:

• R8 Carbon Coil Pack Covers

• Huracan Carbon Intake Manifold Overlay

These upgrades create a cohesive carbon theme while enhancing performance and appearance.
