Audi Q8 Hits Lumma Design’s Gym, Changes Name To CLR 8S

Back in March, Lumma Design released sketches of a proposed tuning kit for Audi’s top-of-the-line SUV, the Q8.

Now, the German tuner has made the CLR 8S a reality, as you can see from these official photos. The Audi Q8 does not look understated to begin with, and the tuner managed to make it more intimidating courtesy of an array of exterior modifications.

Chief among those is the widebody kit that enlarges the front and rear wheel arches, making room for larger wheels — Lumma Design offers the choice of 22-inch and 24-inch rims.

The “base” Lumma CLR 22 LX alloy wheels feature ten brushed filigree V spokes that converge on the center and measure 10×22 inches at the front and 12×22 inches at the rear, with corresponding tire sizes of 285/40 R22 and 325/35 R22, respectively.

The range-topping Lumma CLR 24 RS wheels come in a central locking design in matte black, with the sizes being 10.5×24 inches (front) and 13×24 inches (rear), combined with 295/30 R24 and 355/25 R24 tires, respectively.

Besides the widebody treatment, the CLR 8S features custom bumpers, side rocker panels, and engine hood attachment. The latter is also available for the Audi Q8 as an individual part. The front bumper features a spoiler extension while the rear bumper adds an apron with a diffuser that incorporates four square tailpipe trims.

Other elements of the aero kit include the roof spoiler and a three-part rear spoiler lip — both also available as individual parts for the Q8. Lumma Design says the aerodynamic components for the Audi Q8 are made from high-quality materials “Made in Germany” and have the option of being finished in visible carbon fiber.

The tuner also offers a wide range of tailored upgrades for the interior, as well as performance enhancements for the Q8’s 340 PS (335 hp) turbocharged gasoline V6 (badged 55 TFSI quattro) and 231 PS (228 hp) turbo diesel V6 (45 TDI quattro) engines.
