MTM unveiled a special tuning kit for the Audi S8, one meant to celebrate the top speed record set by Bobby Unser with the Audi 5000 CS Turbo at the Talladega Speedway.

He managed to hit a top speed of over 350 km/h, a quite decent number for that year, namely 1986. The Audi S8 Talladega brings a series of improvements including a retuned 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering 760 horsepower and 945 Nm of torque.

In terms of styling, MTM fitted the Audi S8 with a carbn fiber body kit including new front spoiler lip, side skirts and rear diffuser as well as new 21-inch Bimoto alloy wheels. The latter are shod in 295/30 Pilot Super Sport tires.
