ABT Power Training for the Audi A6 ‒ Up to 365 HP for Diesel or 410 HP for Petrol Engines

2016 ABT Audi AS 6

The general fitness trend is great: In any case, it clearly demonstrates that it does not take a professional athlete to achieve impressive performances. ABT Sportsline has achieved enormous training success with the standard Audi A6 ‒ since not all cars are destined to be an S6 or RS6: “A 2.0 or 3.0 TDI or even 3.0 TFSI are wholly sufficient to achieve race-car performances,” explained CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt. “At least if one invests in ABT Power New Generation.“

Be it Batman or The Shadow: even heroes like dark clothes. The new ABT AS5 DARK is one of them and available as a Coupé or Sportback.

2015 ABT RS Q3

In fairy tales, princes ride on greys. In Bavaria, one rides a white “carriage” and 410 horses. Because once upon a time there was a solid Audi RS Q3, uprated by 100hp and an exciting look by ABT Sportsline. In sum, we now have no less than 410 hp / 301 kW. Maximum torque is 530, instead of 420 Nm, and so the SUV is accelerated almost as if Rumpelstiltskin were chasing it.

THE ABT SQ5 - THE Q STANDS FOR “QUICK”

ABT SQ5

Who says that diesel SUVs have to be clumsy? Since the first Touareg edition, and now with the various Q7, Tiguan, Q3 and Q5 variants, ABT Sportsline has shown that this does indeed not have to be so. The Bavarian art of engineering has rendered these best selling models not only very individual but also very dynamic, especially the new ABT SQ5, based upon the Audi SQ5. This car guarantees high-end sportiness and huge power reserves with which it also becomes an ideal towing vehicle. To put it in figures: The serial 313 hp (230 kW) have been “ABT Sportslined” to 360 hp or 265 kW. Torque has been increased from 650 to an enormous 700 Nm. The 3 liter V6’s performance curve is particularly impressive: In the ABT SQ5 it evenly unfolds its power at all revs and pushes the car, which weighs almost 2 tons, ahead with much aplomb.

2013 ABT AS4 Avant

The ABT AS4, based upon the Audi A4, sets standards in terms of sportiness, especially in the now available version with the 3 liter six-cylinder engine: “Our new AS4 3.0 TFSI is a roadworthy medium-sized car which guarantees fun. You could steal a trailer full of horses with it – and still take the fast lane“, says Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of ABT Sportsline. And the concept works. After all, the ABT AS4 with its V6 is dynamic, agile and on top of almost any situation – be it as the ABT AS4 Avant or the elegant ABT AS4 sedan. The Audi A4 is also of a very assertive and, at the same time, discreet design.

The New ABT RS4

2013 ABT RS4

Every new generation of the Audi RS4, having been on sale since 1999 and traditionally tuned by ABT Sportsline, has seen an uprating. Incidentally, even its legendary forefather, the RS2 (315 hp/232 kW), is still at a par with many modern sports cars. Although the RS4 is now powered by a 4.2l V8 with 450 hp (331 kW) and accelerates faster than previous generations, one essential number hasn’t changed at all: its top speed of 250 km/h. The reason is its factory electronic speed limiter. But the globally largest tuner of cars produced by the Volkswagen Group has filed down the electronic speed chain, as it were, and the ABT RS4 now reaches a top speed of almost 290 km/h.

The new ABT Beetle

 

2012 ABT BEETLE

Its predecessor was an evergreen, a mass-consumption vehicle, both in Germany and worldwide. The Beetle was dependable and robust, it looked nice and was very distinct. Incidentally, it was also a sportsman and film star, if you will, and this potential for a cult following is what characterises its successor as well, especially when tuned by ABT Sportsline.

“Power packhorse” with style and sporting spirit – the new ABT Multivan

2012 ABT T5 Multivan

The ABT Multivan reminds Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of the worlds largest tuning company for cars manufactured by the Volkswagen Group, of basketball player Dirk Nowitzki: “The car can manage a lot of (shopping) baskets and is fast and agile despite its XXL size.” The vehicle, plainly called “T5”, is an achiever; the ABT specialists give the great-grandson of the so-called Bulli (the original VW van) a new look, which gives the model athlete an extravagant appearance and an extremely agile feel. Of course, the additional performance provided to the Multivan by ABT also benefits its every-day properties. Power reserves are useful for anyone who wants to transport kit and caboodle, a mobile workshop or – if necessary – a complete household. Therefore: let van be a noble creature, helpful and fast.

It epitomises the new “urban off-roader” generation – the Q3. This SUV’s power, agility and compact dimensions are impressive indeed.

And it has the horses to pull, err, well, a horse trailer.

The new ABT UP! : Little but Cool

2012 ABT UP!

It is 3.54 meters short, but provides much space, is extremely fuel-efficient and very, very likeable: the VW up! No compromises here, and it is perfectly geared to what people in our modern age want. “Which does also mean that this baby is supposed to be fun as well“, says Hans-Jürgen Abt. ABT Sportsline’s managing director is simply in love with this car. “It is huge fun to drive it through the narrow streets here in downtown Kempten!“ The up! also reminds Abt of the swift little Abarths his father used to drive. And since his father was so successful in motorsports, the designers gave this practical new compact car a very sporty and aggressive outfit. It goes without saying that the up! is a real ABT, which means that it is assertive without losing its ecological and economic qualities. All components are of the highest quality and very stylish, of course, but also very affordable.
