Although only just released by Audi, ABT Sportsline is already presenting its version of the new premium limousine A8, the AS8. The luxury liner has been decently yet confidently tuned by the Bavarian company. “With us this extraordinary vehicle doesn’t lose its character, we underline it”, states Hans-Juergen Abt the General Manager of ABT Sportsline.

Even the intention of the Ingolstadt car manufacturer to consistently focus on light construction, indicates how: the A8 is a sporty gentleman, even more so after the power treatment at ABT. Initially the potent turbo diesel with a 4.2 litre cubic capacity has had its performance improved, and other versions will follow soon. “The machine fits the large limousine perfectly”, says Hans-Juergen Abt in justification of the decision.

The series standard 350HP (257kW) is raised by ABT to 385HP (283kW). The torque of the modern diesel engine is impressive: 880 Nm (series standard: 800 Nm) ensure that the luxury liner can easily cope with any situation. Relaxed journeys and sports handling at the limit – everyday business life is particularly enjoyable with the ABT AS8. This is thanks to the air suspension, which has been tailor-made to meet the demands of this extravagant car.

The elegant-sporty car from Kempten also knows how to impress optically: the front spoiler, side sills, the rear aprons with the tailpipe cover and the three-piece rear spoiler underline the design of the limousine and give it a sporty touch.

The new ABT CR alloys, available in expressive 20 and 21 inch sizes, are ideal additions to the overall concept: the wheel is classy, seems light yet has a powerful presence, and discreetly attracts attention. This is particularly the case in combination with the phantom-black coating, which makes the ABT AS8 look classically-modern and sublime beyond all contemporary aberrations.

The fact that a touch of dynamism and aggressiveness does no harm to the luxury liner is shown in the details of the vehicle. The ABT AS8 has been optimised to meet the high demands of its drivers: ABT Sportsline has not changed the elegant glider into a racing car, but carefully into a confident and sporty automobile.

Germans from ABT gave details of their latest creation, namely the Audi R8 V10 supercar. Following modifications, propeller of model will deliver 591 hp.

And if to like a tuning company more and more, then this is the Abt Sportsline. First of all for the great way that can show the car after they put hands on her and secondly because regardless of the strength and qualities of the car, they raise a little more standards.

German tuning house Abt Sportsline, specialized in Audi tuning, disclosed the details of their newest project. Latest “victim” of the tuners is the V10 version of R8 supercar. German model had part of a series of mechanical changes and as well as design.

Following the made improvements the V10 propeller of 5.2 liter FSI will deliver 591 hp, 75 hp more than the version number. Once with modifications to the engine, the car has improved the performance, managed to sprint from 0-100 km / h in 3.8 seconds. In terms of maximum speed that can reach R8 V10, engineers of tuning house Abt said that speedometer needle may indicate 322 km / h.

At exterior tuner ABT worked with DTM tuner to create a kit that reveals the sportiness of this model. The package of exterior changes include a new grille for the front side, a new rear spoiler, extensions for front and rear spoilers, side standstills and a 4-pipe exhaust system. Like any tuning house who respects and who really wants to put their mark on the model of a producer, ABT has not ruled out the package wheels, in this case of 20-inch.

ABT unveiled a package of tuning for Audi A3 facelift. Tuner called modified car AS3 and says that is more than cosmetic surgery.

On the exterior we can notice some changes: changed grid, bonnet, and cover, front bumper and new lateral thresholds. Even the front LED lights have changed the shape.

In this way appears AS3, a more sports and more nervous Audi A3. Most engines were adjusted by ABT results are the following:

• 1.4 TSI – 160cp (125 Stock)
• 1.8 TSI – 210cp (160 Stock)
• 2.0 TDI – 240CP (200 Stock)
• 2.0 TDI – 170cp (140 Stock)
• 2.0 TDI – 190cp (170 stock)

It goes without saying that the AS3 does not just look fast, but is fast too. This is because ABT POWER also brings the engines up to speed. ABT also offers performance increases for the two-litre turbo diesel: depending on the starting power output either 170HP (125kW) or 190HP (140kW) is achieved – and both bring plenty of torque with them.

In order to utilize the well-trained “ABT horses” in the best possible way on the road, ABT Performance Springs are recommended. Thanks to the lowering of the car`s centre of gravity by around 35 millimeters the agility of the AS3 is improved, which makes itself felt especially at corners.

The ABT braking unit with its disc diameter of 345 millimeters provides the best deceleration values, even in borderline areas. All components have been tuned to the AS3, making the compact ABT a real sports car, both on the inside and outside.

The new Volkswagen Golf VI GTI was thundering of ABT. This is the first tuning program for the new model from Volkswagen, and includes both technical improvements and design changes.

Germans propose a power kit for the SUV from Ingolstadt, for customers who require superior dynamic performance. Since departure from the factory, the V12 TDI propeller of 5934 cubic centimeters develops 500 HP at 3750 rpm. ABT AS7 develops 560 HP engine and a torque of 1200 Nm.

The performance curves gain as much importance as the top values, from which it is soon clear that the additional HP has not been achieved at the cost of exorbitant revolution speed, but is available just as early as in the series standard – at 3750 rpm.

Maximum power is offered at 3750 rpm, while engine torque is offered between 1750 rpm and 3250 rpm, as the standard version of propeller. Increased engine power assist new ABT AS7 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.2 seconds, despite the mass of 2.6 tones. Maximum speed of the germane model is 258 km / h.
