530BHP FROM JUST A REMAP!?! 🤯

Although we've had a Panamera in for tuning before, this one has something a little different under the bonnet 👀
The Panamera 4S houses a 4.0 V8 Bi-Turbo, pushing 450hp and around 700lbs/ft stock (on our dyno) to all 4 wheels, it certainly isn't slow!
But it wasn't quite enough for the customer....so we turned it up a little 😈
Question is...should we get one? 🤔

I like how you guys censored the digital speedo yet kept the analog gauges 😂

[@otacon4065]

speedo racist

[@DuDieselDude]

shhh

[@motojojo_]

I was just thinking “Hot V diesel? That’d be nice in an R8” 😂😂😂

[@andregurvin3012]

You should take a panamera 4s diesel and do a build like the 500hp A5 3.0 tdi. Would be cool to see this with 600hp+ and straight pipe exhaust system!

[@AdamNajak1]

This would be epic

[@allysonsquires8421]

From PD to this you should be well chuffed.

[@RunninWithScissors]

That engine is proper crammed in there, looks like £2k in labour just to replace a £10 sensor.

[@Cloud-yp4eh]

Good video guys. The windscreen is misting up as there’s water getting into the cabin. The carpets won’t feel wet on top but if someone can get under the carpets / foam it will be soaking. And it won’t dry out out its own Blocked drains etc are worth Looking at.

[@blackchallis]

jesus, that engine bay looks like a complete nightmare

[@martytdd1606]

I thought Audis looked tight 😂

[@mhoseinofi]

I imagine if anything goes wrong it’s an engine out job!

[@rosshendry7298]

I was pretty sure these things made 416bhp. However, coming from a stage 1 SQ7 the biggest issue is its 2400kg if this is a few hundred less and not shaped like a barn door it will be rapid. Note, the turbo crossover "dip" is the only pain about this engine.

[@ryanp6138]

The dip is the only let down really!

[@Dan23_7]

Yes you do need one of these. Is 700 Hp a figure possible if it can breathe properly ?

[@ryanp6138]

Would likely need some big laggy turbos!

[@andrewb9456]

Yes Darkside does need one, someone please sell.

[@danielmarshall4587]

OH WOULD I EVER GET ONE OF THOSE......... at the first opportunity. Lovely car, lovely vid GREAT performance.

[@MrToastyman900]

It’s a shame the Uk didn’t get the OM629 V8 diesel, i have a 2007 E420 with that engine and it’s effortlessly smooth and the power delivery is rock solid even after 187k miles, will be doing DPF delete and some software tuning too😅

[@hyper8545]

I drive a mk6 gti. I wana get a 2015 mk7 golf tdi but they are rare here in us.

[@RTC057]

Hurrrrraaaahhhh, great to have you back on car we wish we could afford rather than those we know we'll never be able to afford 😀

[@arslansajid3303]

Been waiting for this panamera to be tuned. Should definitely get one

[@martytdd1606]

Love these cars, Iv'e been keeping an eye on the prices too. Still a bit out of my reach 😂, would love to get my A5 quattro over to youse for an upgrade. (In N Ireland).

[@MrCosmin94]

Best daily ever

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Is this a compound sequential setup then?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

yes

[@anabolicbear719]

Do it! Slap a bigger turbo on 😂

[@bc_jewellery1]

One day i will own one of these 🏎️💨🖤 and i will bring it to you guys

[@RealGX]

If you raised the torque limiters I doubt the clutches will be able to take it for too long. Honestly automatics are just better for this power level. It gets boring once you've blown up a few clutches.

[@mattyork544]

Think I want one. The bmw 730d could be going 😂

[@Salubrious101]

I went from a 730d to a Panamera Turbo TTV8, never looked back, make the move you'll love it.

[@mattyork544]

@@Salubrious101 might look more into it

[@Rookiereece]

Out of interest what mpg do these get?

[@Dan23_7]

Good question 👍🏼

[@ryanp6138]

30+ on a run

[@dieguitto98]

Will be an amazing heart for the r8, i wish u try that or the sq7 on a r8, Will be incredible, great job again boys, amazing

[@connorpearson8779]

Yes you do need one and yes you definitely need that engine in a r8 and add some spicy big turbos to it

[@karlsaxton6384]

Definitely need a panamera. Tune it then put the engine In an r8 💥 🤯

[@mrAudisubaru]

Is gerabox the limiting factor on this with bigger turbos injectors...

[@ryanp6138]

I'd say so

[@AdamNajak1]

Would make for an awesome project car & series

[@leeantoniades8744]

340D is 4.6

[@ryanp6138]

These are quicker then!

[@Vlog4dogs]

This video could easily be under 5 minutes

[@DarksideDevelopments]

just watch 5 minutes of it!

[@lewisconnell1234]

Looking at buying one what do u think u could do with hybrid meth and all that

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We would have to see, tuning with non stock hardware will be very fun!

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Nice bottle of ombré leather whoever’s that is has great taste

[@stevenkerry3101]

nice video and even better to see a car one for a change good work chaps 👍👍

[@Iceman-ys6ng]

This Engine swap in Audi R8

[@Gazlatham]

Great video as always

[@kovacspis]

Darkside definitely needs one of these as a project car! Stainless exhaust, hybrids, 570-580 bhp maybe?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We'd say that if not more! Hopefully we get to find out!

[@RH-xj8hm]

@@DarksideDevelopmentsplease do!

[@theofficialstig]

what happened to the diesel R8 project?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It was an April fools...

[@alaindunkerque59]

Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Et superbe voiture 👍

[@radoslawrojek7032]

What's the 100-200 kph after remap ?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Didn't do any times, we'll see if we can get some from the owner or do them if we get one ourselves

[@Taylor40667]

Isnt this the most powerfull stock diesel ever for u.k With audi s4 tdi and 530 d the most powerful nowadays But the most powerfull ever was the bmw m550d which we didnt get in the uk Was the m550d just a slightly revised bigger turbo 530d?

[@robbrown943]

I believe the M550d (also 50d in the X5 etc) is a triple turbo set up

[@darrellainsworth4539]

Yes it’s a tri turbo and ridiculously unreliable

[@SupraStar29]

@@robbrown943 It is in the F15 and F10's, G series cars have quad turbos.

[@sliwka621]

@@robbrown943 Later years have FOUR turbo's!

[@Rookiereece]

You keep saying 530d like the 35d cars don't exist
