How Much Power Can This Supercharged Audi R8 Make On The Dyno?

With a supercharger boosting only 6.5 psi, yours truly thinks it will make 610 wheel horsepower. The Hoonigan team’s estimations vary from a low 420 hp, all the way to 670 hp. On the car’s first run, it posts a power output of 573.4 hp and 521.2 lb-ft of torque. Pull number two shows 588.2 hp and 502 .8 lb-ft of torque, and the final run sees the Audi make 595.5 hp. It’s worth noting that this is an AWD car, so drivetrain losses are going to be more significant. At 610 hp, your boy got close.

While it might not be a crazy 2,000-hp build like we’ve seen from many twin-turbo R8s, we still wouldn’t want to dice this anytime soon.
