Product Overview
The R8 coil – with 12% more spark than the coil that made it famous.
The red-top pencil coil the tuning world standardised on. Sold individually – buy exactly how many your build needs.
The Audi R8 red-top is probably the most famous ignition coil in tuning – the pencil coil Audi specified for the R8 V8 and V10, now found far beyond VAG engine bays. Tuners fit them to everything: turbocharged 1.8T and 2.0 TFSI builds, Nissan Skyline RB and SR conversions, Toyota JZ swaps, Honda builds, rotaries, kit cars – anywhere a compact, powerful smart coil is wanted.
The Mantis MTP-1002 takes that coil further: the same R8-style red-top pencil format, re-engineered around a neodymium core delivering 12% more spark energy than the OE R8 coil – with the thermal headroom for mapped, big-turbo and track engines. Sold as single coils, so a 4-pot, a straight-six or a V10 buys exactly the right count.
Why the R8 coil?
> Stronger, more consistent spark under high boost and cylinder pressure
> Compact pencil format with built-in igniter – simple 4-pin smart coil
> Works superbly with standalone ECUs – Haltech, Link, MaxxECU, Emtron, Megasquirt and more drive it directly
> The standard choice for coil conversions and engine swaps
> Direct plug & play on all 06F/06E/06H/07K VAG pencil-coil engines
> The look: red-top coils under any engine cover
