Mansory P780 based on the Audi RS Q8

After upgrading the Audi RS6 Avant in 2020, Mansory decided to do it again by introducing the P780. The car is based on the Audi RS Q8 and received better aerodynamic solutions, more power and better performance.

At first glance, the most attention is drawn to the front part, a more aggressive bumper has larger air intakes and a diffuser with a carbon finish. The hood has a better design and carbon finish, while the rest of the body is painted green. Yellow details are found on the bumpers, rims and brake calipers, and it is worth mentioning that all the carbon components are manufactured by Mansory. It’s equipped with a set of 24-inch wheels wrapped in 295/30 R24 front and 355/24 R24 rear tires.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Audi RS Q8 is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine with 780 hp (574 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard RS Q8 has 600 hp (441 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, and the power has been increased thanks to a new exhaust system and a modified ECU unit. As a result of the upgrade, it reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km/h).

Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800

Tuners are paying more attention to increasingly popular SUVs. Thus, the company OCT Tuning presented its project Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800. The car is based on the Audi RS Q8.

Stage 3 includes remapping of the ECU unit, new intake pipe, air filter and exhaust system from turbo. Audi’s most powerful SUV is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 802 hp (590 kW) and 760 lb-ft (1,030 Nm) of torque. The Lamborghini Urus is powered by the same engine, so this is an indicator of its enormous potential. Many modern engines require only a few new parts and a remapping of the ECU to release extra power, which is roughly all OCT has done with the RS Q8 to get more out of it.

Stage 1 offers a modified ECU unit and 700 hp (515 kW) with 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Stage 2 also brings a modified ECU unit, a new intake pipe and an air filter. Engine power has been increased to 735 hp (541 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque.

OCT Tuning optionally offers 23-inch forged wheels wrapped in 295/35 ZR23 XL tires, which are 20 percent lighter than stock wheels.

Despite the increase in power, the Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800 retained the design of the base Audi RS Q8.

Manhart RQ 800

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).
