ABT Tunes the S8 to Produce 700hp
ABT decided to create an unofficial Audi RS8 by tuning the S8 sedan. The car can now churn up to 700 horsepower and top at 168 mph.
An Unofficial RS8
We may not have an Audi RS8 yet, but that doesn't mean we can't make one. ABT decided to treat us with an unofficial variant by tuning the Audi S8 sedan. The tuner played around with the twin turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine to produce more power.

New Energy
The S8 comes straight from Audi with a V8 engine that's able to produce 571 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Being part of the S-Series, it offers more than what the A-Series has. ABT managed to perform some wizardry to the engine. It now churns an incredible 700 horsepower and 880 lb-ft of torque. For a car that weighs 4,916 pounds, these are mind-blowing numbers.

Supercar-like Performance
There's always something special about a sedan that can perform like a supercar. 700 horsepower is not a mean feat. And, if you have any doubts, ask anyone that drives a Mercedes-AMG S63s or the BMW M760i. A car that can top out at 168 mph is definitely fun to drive.
