Manhart's 818-HP Audi RS Q8 Is Ready To Take On Anything

Before this, Manhart had already worked on the Audi RS Q8, back in 2020. This new thing, on the other hand, has a more reserved appearance and generates approximately 100 fewer horsepower. New red highlights on the front fascia, side mirrors, side skirts, and rear diffuser are among the slight cosmetic alterations.

A pair of new Classic Line 24-inch wheels with red accents are also available, with 295/30 ZR24 and 355/25 ZR24 tires. Next, Manhart applies decals on the body and replaces the inside floor mats. The automobile has a lot more important mechanical changes.

The engine has been extensively modified, including a new turbo boost kit with intercooler, Eventuri carbon intake, and ECU remapping. The exhaust system has been overhauled with stainless steel pipes and valves, as well as four 100-millimeter tailpipes at the rear. All of these changes result in a rated power of 818 hp (602 kW) and torque of 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm).

The gearbox has been improved to manage the extra torque, and a braking system improvement is also available as an option. The suspension has been adjusted as well, although the factory air arrangement has been retained.
For the suspension, there are 2 choices: software tweaking or new coupling rods.

Audi RS Q8 has been installed with 200-cell catalytic converters, according to Manhart, but they are not TUV certified, which means the car will not be legal in Germany and that this improvement is just for export. There aren't any performance figures available, sadly. The RS Q8 accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in approximately 3.8 seconds in stock configuration. Presumably, Manhart's enhancement should reduce this time.
