Powerful Audi

The Audi RS7 is already an incredibly potent machine in a factory setting. With 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque courtesy of a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 motor, the handsome Audi 4-door coupe can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds! Those are already mind-boggling stats for a 4-door vehicle. But of course, good enough is never good enough for German tuners.

Aftermarket Wizardry

Not too long ago, the famous Audi tuner, ABT Sportline introduced its enhanced RS7-R. The aftermarket wizard has managed to improve upon the RS7's impressive power output by extracting even more juice from the twin-turbo V8. The ABT RS7-R is capable of 690 horsepower, with a claimed 3.2-second 0-60. As it turns out, that's still not enough power for some.

Supercar Killer

And that's where this monstrous RS7 comes in. A collaboration project between Nebulus, Black Box-Richter, and HGP Turbo, the custom Audi RS7 you see before you is reportedly capable of 962 horsepower and 921 lb-ft of torque! Although no official acceleration times are known as of yet, with that kind of grunt, this beast should easily blow the world's fastest supercars out of the water.

Nebulus X Black Box-Richter X HGP

Nebulus is a lifestyle brand that offers high-quality clothing with unique designs. Black Box-Richter is a shop out of Austria with expertise in specialty car wraps. And their high-quality work is on display on this particular RS7. HGP Turbo is responsible for the power gains under the hood.  The performance upgrades include a remapped ECU to unlock the power unit's true potential, along with a number of mechanical enhancements.

Performance Upgrades

The tuner has installed a large-volume air filter box and a sports air filter insert to help the motor breathe more easily. The Audi has also been equipped with larger intake hoses, custom intake manifolds with enlarged cross-sections in front of the turbos, reinforced thrust bearings, larger turbocharger inputs, and tweaked boost pressure sensors.

One-Off?

The Nebulus-branded Audi RS7 shows off a complex black diamond matte body wrap that features lighter glossy silver lines to add a stylized accent. The application of this style of body wrap reportedly takes a whole week to complete. No further information is known at the time of this writing on whether this is a one-off or part of a larger project. But we're very eager to see how the car performs.
