Supercharged B8?

Post by Scammo1 » Sun May 22, 2022 10:44 pm

Does anyone know why no one supercharges the B8?

With so many supercharged B7s, I would have thought that companies will have supercharged the B8 by now?

Only difference is the gearbox so I guess it can’t handle the extra power like the manual in the B7? Having said that there is an S-tronic in the R8 and that has 600bhp as standard…

There has been rumours around development by JHM in the US but nothing has ever come to fruition as far as I know.
2013 B8 RS4 - Reflex Silver Black Pack probably the 2nd lowest mileage in County
2014 B8 RS4 - Daytona Grey bag of nails with Silver Styling gone
