The R8 got complete verified on the company-owned 4x4 dyno to get out the best of the car. A refind set-up, not at least because of the counter-pressure-optimized sport-exhaust-system, brings out great extras. The complete characteristic of the car changes because of the new set-up together with the power exhaust-system. Therefore the R8 gets itīs personalized note, which can not only be feeled but also heared! Congenial to the optics the complete O.CT package performs a brachial unique sound, which gets under the skin for sure. A great sound experience. The R8 wins 26 HP, which helps the O.CT version to be 1,5 seconds faster in the sprint from 0 to 200 km/h.

Audi RS6 Avant – With 580 hp the new RS6 can rightfully claim to be the most powerfull stock station wagon/estate in the world. O.CT Tuning takes it a step further. With a newly programmed engine control unit a power enhancement to 650 HP and 750 Nm is achieved. Thatīs why the O.CT version saves about 3 seconds while sprinting from 0 to 250 km/h and it outspaces the original RS6 by over 30 carlenghts! A top speed of 325 km/h* can be enabled upon wish (*tyres top speed has to be over 300 km/h). But thatīs even not enough! O.CT still doesnīt consider itself satisfied, there is still more power possible! Because of that O.CT developes a 4-tail-pipes sport-exhaust-system, which will make the driverīs flesh crawl everytime he starts his RS6. Including a new reprogramming of the software and a complete new harmonization, up to 700 HP are achieved (depending on the hardware components). To highlight the RS6-powererd by O.CT even more, the original diffusor has to make way for a special made carbon diffusor. Also a new roof spoiler will be developed, also in carbon and in a different style than the original.

Of course, O.CT Tuning also offers carefully developed engine upgrades for other Audi models.
