O.CT Tuning dares to tackle the Audi R8 V8

Many are the owners of an Audi R8 V8 who, although their supercar delivers 430 horsepower, enough for most people, drool at the mechanical specifications of the V10 version of this same model, a vehicle that, thanks to an engine taken directly from the Lamborghini Gallardo, delivers 525 horsepower.

All of this is very well, but… what if we went a little further? That is, what if there were a possibility that your V8 could produce more power than the V10 version? That is precisely what I want to talk to you about today: the opportunity the guys at O.CT Tuning offer to turn your Audi R8 V8 into a much more interesting beast.

The project presented by this tuner essentially consisted of installing and fine-tuning new mechanical components, such as a higher-flow compressor, a new ECU and an exhaust system developed exclusively for this vehicle, enough to deliver a final output of 565 horsepower and 560 Nm of peak torque

All this translates into quite interesting performance figures, such as a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration 0.7 seconds faster than the standard version, or reaching 250 km/h in just 24 seconds, truly impressive. As an option, it is worth highlighting the possibility of fitting a carbon-fibre bonnet or front grille.
