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.

The German art of tuning: a worthy example is the new S5 that had taken the form of a truly individual “sports car” in the hands of Senner Tuning AG tuners from Ingelheim. Apart from the decent design kit, Senner Tuning still has various upgrades ready to apply on the S5 series.

A front spoiler, stretched deeply below, with a large air inlet in RS5 Look with a well-suited radiator grill, designed in the form of cells, contributes to the perfect car body along the sliding air streams and optics. Additionally, we can find a rear spoiler lip at the body, as well as a rear apron unit performed in Carbon Look by Rieger tuning house. To make the appearance complete, the car is equipped with modern LED back lights, and a number-plate light has light-emitting diodes in clear white, too.

But this is still not enough. As the name “white beast” implies, not only the optics but also the engine power have been upgraded. With parametric surface optimization, performance air filter plug-in package and exhaust system, additional 30 ph and 35 Nm are now available for Audi S5, and the overall power now makes 384 ph and 475 Nm.

Furthermore, the speed limitation of 250 km/h was raised, so now the car can reach the full 285 km/h. The acceleration up to this speed was boosted by the Power Converter, an electronic module of acceleration of the signal from the gas pedal.

The corresponding sound of the newly acquired power is produced by the Senner Tuning exhaust system which emphasizes the car’s sport-style appearance optically, too, with its four exhaust pipes of high-grade steel. The exhaust system includes a sport exhaust silencer and an X-pipe and is provided with an EU grant for vehicle operating.

To make the performance of the reinforced motor core optimal for the street and allow no losses, the craftsmen from Senner Tuning use lowered suspension springs with 40-mm suspension at the front axle and 35-mm suspension at the rear axle which also create a nice-looking aspect between the body and the rims.

In addition, giant and two-parted 21-inch polished light alloy wheel rims Work Varianza T1S in diamond black, that were produced exclusively for Senner Tuning, find their application with the white beast. High-performance tyres by Hankook with an S1 Evo label, as big as 255/30 R21 and 295/25 R21, were installed on 9×21“ and 10,5×21“ rims. And there is no need to adjust the wheel arch edges!

The interior has also undergone some changes. A carbon fiber interior package, including the tachometer display screen, sticks out from the rest. There is also a fancy foot mat of high-quality velour – this is where sport ambitions merge with individuality.

The cost of the whole renovation kit is 18,990 Euro including technical inspection fees!

The individualization of MR Car Design for Audi S3 series underlines the unique character of the „sportster“ in a distinctive way.

The stage III performance kit includes not only new MR Car design engine control software or sports exhaust allowing to uprate engine performance up to 337 hp with 450Nm of torque. Engine overhaul also includes a downpipe incl. sports cat, sports exhaust system with optimized dynamic pressure, the suction way optimization with a big intercooler and, as already mentioned, engine control software – additionally the TÜV-certified hand weld 2-flute high-grade steel sports exhaust system with optimized counter pressure.

8×19” Emotion-Wheels (Strada) hyper-black alloy rims by their long-curved spokes guarantee better airing of the wheel house and the view on huge serial braking system (against upcharge with StopTech braking system). Wheels with Dunlop Sportmaxx high performance tyres 235/35 ZR19.

In addition the darkish look of the complete matt foliation by Cover EFX (CFC styling station Erftstadt/Germany) gives the car body overtaking prestige on the highway.

By its tried and trusted V3 coilovers with pressure and tension phase adjustment KW Automotive contribute to the speedway suitable setup.

* 3 stages of power enhancement with 404, 408 and 424 BHP – Vmax 297 km/h – 0-100 4.2 sec
* Sport rims with the original BIMOTO design

It is still being good for best lap timing: the MTM Ur-Quattro S1, with its 5 cylinders engine, has once again shown this summer that it gets around the Hockenheimring almost as fast as the Porsche Armada. 25 years younger as the legendary S1 and directly from the same development department, the tuning specialist presents the MTM TT-RS with the rebirth of the 5 cylinders engine as perfect motorization for drivers who like their car being suitable for racing. After the MTM power therapy, the sport car from Audi gets a power of 424 BHP and 560 Nm of torque and shows itself with a new aerodynamic which is based on the Ur-Quattro.

The secret: love for details and understanding of the new engine from Audi. In addition to the adjustment of the engine control unit, MTM has also worked on the exhaust system: new middle- and end- pipes with throttle valves. Moreover, an additional pre-pipe with metal catalyser can be built in. The result: a high-revving engine, lots of torque in every range of performance and an impressive sound thanks to MTM exhaust system technology with throttle valve. A compact sports car which will be good for best lap times and this not only on the small track of Hockenheim.

The MTM TT-RS can be ordered in 3 different stages of power enhancement. Besides the maximal stage of 424 BHP with 84 BHP more as the 340 from the series car, MTM also offer 2 stages with 404 and 408 BHP and 550 Nm. MTM sports rims with the original BIMOTO design in 19 and 20”, as well as suitable spacers in 20 mm and 30 mm are available.

About 70 per cent of all Audi A4s are sold as an Avant – that may be the reason why beautiful wagons are Avants. Unsurprisingly the new project car from AVUS PERFORMANCE is an AVANT with the 2.7L TDI engine and its 8 gear multitronic gearbox.

Being equipped with that 190bhp engine the A4 is economic and quick at once. For all those who need some more performane stage 1 ECU boosts the A4 from 190bhp and 295 lb/ft of torque up to 230bhp and 358 lb/ft . More performance upgrades are avaiable for the 3.0L.

TDI engine and all other turboed engines. Besides more power the tuner takes it one step further and presents the worldwide first Audi A4 with 21“ wheels. The individual gloss black rims perfectly fit the A4 Avant and even better in combination with the coilovers installed.

Lowering springs and 19“ or 20“ are avaiable on request. Those of you who want to change even more might consider the A4 LED taillights or full car wrapping as an option (matt black, matt white etc. avaiable).

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.

German tuning company Mcchip has revealed two performance kits for recently launchers RS Audi TT – a model already outstanding performance. If the version number of 2.5-liter engine develops 340 HP, now it has 380 or 400 HP.

Launched at the Auto Salon in Geneva, the most powerful version of the famous Audi TT, the TT RS is under hood an engine TFSI of 2.5 liters that develops 340 HP and 450 Nm. It appears that these values are not enough, so tuners have started working on kits performance coupe that turns the TT into a real rocket on 4 wheels.

Furthermore, in a few weeks, the company will package and “Stage 2″ which leads to a maximum power 400 HP engine. In addition to dynamic performance, the new Audi TT RS receives Cargraphic gtr 9×20 wheels with 255/30 R20 Continental tires that cost 6600 euro.

What may be a white Audi S8 with the rims 19 or 20, prepared by a tuner called Mariani than a true pimp car?

Audi S8 is not the standard configuration, a model very ostentatious, being a car with a even conservative image. However, if the tuner is entitled Mariani, a very strange name for a german tuner and main ingredient is white; this model comes about as Audi highlights.

Audi S8 is discreet, but still out. This seems to be the best description of the images below. And although the changes are limited, they make presence felt.

And to attract more attention to design, the grill is placed on the opposite side of the chromatic spectator, in strong contrast with spotless color. Guard ramp is lowered by 60 mm and rims fitted to this model are prepared either 19 inches or 20.

V10 propelling power is climbed from 450 HP to 501 HP. About dynamic improvements does not say anything, but we expect this model to reach 100 km / h in less than 5 seconds, and in standard version in 5.1 seconds.
