V8 Archives - German Tuner WareHouse

Mansory has proved multiple times that they know how to tune cars the right way, and one of their latest projects to have been shared on social media doesn’t scream kitschy through its pores at all.

It is an Audi RS Q8 with various upgrades inside and out, and under the hood, which seems worthy of sitting in the parking lots of some of the most exclusivist places on earth.

As we’ve become accustomed to over the years, Mansory doesn’t tend to give its builds new bumpers. The same goes for the German super crossover too, which retains the OEM ones, albeit with numerous add-ons. These comprise the attachments around the side air intakes and apron with side blades up front. The vented hood also came from the tuning company.

At the rear, it has a six-fin diffuser, with a conceptual placement of the tailpipes that are part of the sports exhaust system. Two spoilers bedeck the tailgate, and this RS Q8 also sports fender flares and more aggressive side skirts. Mansory’s logo can be seen at the front and rear, and the vehicle rides on new wheels, with red accents. The same hue has been used on other parts of the exterior, slightly contrasting the dark looks and aftermarket parts that were made of carbon fiber.

A single image of the interior was shared at the time of writing, and it shows the gear selector, with Mansory branding. Nonetheless, you can bet your bottom dollar on the fact that their emblem can be seen on various other parts, and that the cockpit sports new upholstery too.

Power has been increased from 600 ps (592 hp / 441 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque to 780 ps (769 hp / 574 kW) and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft). As a result of the extra oomph, the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 rockets it to 100 kph (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds, and up to 320 kph (199 mph). This means that it is half a second faster than the stock RS Q8, which tops out at 250 kph (155 mph).

If you ask most people, the Ferrari F8 Tributo does not need an exhaust upgrade. The stock one would be fine as-is for almost everyone who reads this article. However, some people want more, and in that case, tuners are ready to offer products to match their wants.

Upgrading the exhaust of an Italian exotic car is not something you should do with parts from your local store, unless you live on the same street as Novitec. Even if that is the case, you might still need to make an appointment or at least place an order for the parts that you want to install, as the company does not stock F8 Tributo downpipes as if these are selling one daily.

The V8 behind the seats of the F8 Tributo has a displacement of 3.9 liters, and it provides 720 horsepower at a screaming 7,000 rpm. Peak torque is 770 Nm (568 lb.-ft.), and it arrives at 3250 rpm.

With a seven-speed automated twin-clutch gearbox, it can sprint from naught to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds. It has launch control, as you may be aware, and you can see it in action in the video below.

If the driver has access to a racetrack with long straightaways, or can access Germany’s restriction-free Autobahn, they can hit the F8 Tributo’s top speed, of 340 kph (211 mph).

We do not know for how long Germany’s highways will continue to have sections without speed limits, but racetracks will continue to exist for as long as people are paying to drive on them. Yes, saying you want to go to the track some day means nothing if you never pay to go drive on one, so do not be surprised to learn your local go-kart track is closing because nobody visited it anymore.

With that in mind, put your headphones on and listen to the Ferrari V8 in twin-turbo form while it speeds away in this video. As you can observe, the vehicle is disturbingly fast, and its acceleration happens as if nothing is holding it back. With over 700 horsepower on tap, that’s understandable.
