Assessment
The Audi A8 60 TFSI-e 449hp is a 3.0L turbocharged petrol engine producing 449 BHP and 700 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 500 BHP and 800 Nm — a gain of around 51 BHP (11%) and 100 Nm (14%).
This engine has moderate remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as moderate, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch MED17 (likely), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: Turbo petrol: fuel quality and cooling can influence repeatable performance.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
