OCT Tuning unveils its 800 HP Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800
German outfit OCT Tuning unveiled the Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800, equipped with OCT Tuning’s new Stage 3 Power Enhancement.
Ever since its introduction, tuners have been designing packages to push the performance of Audi RS Q8’s motor to its absolute limit. The unspoken goal has always been to achieve performance similar to Lamborghini Urus. In October 2020, we discussed Kempten-based ABT Sportsline’s high octane version of the Audi RS Q8. More recently, Sant’Agata-based company OCT Tuning unveiled the RS Q8 O.CT 800 and three new performance tuning levels for Audi’s sporty SUV.
This murdered-out super-luxurious SUV is called Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800. Besides its menacing paint job, this particular offering is visually identical to the standard SUV. However, the car ditches its factory rims in favor of 23-inch aluminum forged alloys which are almost 17.6 lbs or 8 kg (per piece) lighter than the stock RS Q8 wheels.
In its most capable spec, the Stage 3 Power Enhancement package increases the power of the SUV to 802 HP and 760 lb-ft of torque. Under the hood of OCT Tuning’s Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800, we find the same 4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 591 HP in the standard model.
As a result, to achieve the SUV’s impressive performance figures, the tuning company installed a turbo-back exhaust and modified intake manifold, which comes complete with new filters and pipes.
Lastly, an ECU flash unlocks a substantial chunk of the powerplant’s performance. Customers can also opt for the Stage 1 Power enhancement, and the company will increase the power output of the Audi RS Q8 to 690 HP and 664 lb-ft with the help of software optimization alone.
Finally, a Stage 2 Power enhancement is also available, including the ECU and intake manifold upgrade. So far, we do not have any information regarding the pricing of OCT Tuning’s performance upgrades. However, the company is already accepting orders for its new tuning packages.
The new set of alloys also gives OCT Tuning’s Audi RS Q8 O.CT 800 its eye-catching stance. Furthermore, the red brake calipers with Audi branding offer a striking contrast to the otherwise dark color scheme. Continental SportContact 6 295/35 ZR23 XL tires envelop the 11-inch wide lightweight wheels.
