A few months ago, Manhart introduced the Manhart RQ 900 based on the Audi RS Q8. Now, Manhart engineers have gone further, as they have created the Manhart RQ 800 for a growing audience that prefers “super sports cars in the body of an SUV”.

Manhart has equipped the RQ 800 with a new intercooler, carbon intake, stainless steel exhaust system, four 100 mm ceramic-coated or carbon fiber exhaust pipes. There are also sports downpipes with 200-cell catalytic converters, as well as a remapped ECU.

The car is mounted on 24-inch gold-decorated rims wrapped in 295/30 ZR24 (front) and 355/25 ZR24 (rear) tires. Manhart air suspension allows the vehicle to lower by 30-40 mm.

The RQ 800 is powered by a standard 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 818 hp (602 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a recalibrated eight-speed automatic transmission. As a reminder, the Audi RS Q8 has 600 hp (441 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm). Reaches 62 mph in less than four seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 kph).
