According to Aku Lantto, of Lantto Racing, the stock RC8 made 141.5bhp and 121Nm of torque, and did the quarter-mile (400m) in 10.17 seconds, hitting 219km/h. With the mods, the supercharged RC8 makes about 250 horsepower and 220Nm of torque, (running only 0.5 bar boost), and does the quarter-mile in 9.815 seconds, at 230km/h.
