ABT Sportline is celebrating it’s 125th anniversary in 2021, that is why they will only build 125 units of this RSQ8-R, and this customer car, finished in San Marino Blue metallic is one of those, featuring a stunning carbon fiber aero kit to accentuate the aggressive looks of the original SUV even further.<\/p>\n

A lip is added to the front bumper, a set of special side sills are fitted, as are mirror caps off course, wheel arch vents are a very nice touch indeed, while a beautifully aggressive rear diffuser just adds that final touch to the rear together with a new wing, and let’s not forget that stainless steel ABT exhaust system with four 102-mm end pipes to hear that rumble from the 4.0-liter V8 engine.<\/p>\n

With the power increase from ABT for this special RSQ8-R edition, the top speed can be raised to 315 km\/h thanks to the ABT Engine Control unit coupled to a bespoke intercooler for maximum power and reliability, add the ABT Level Control suspension which lowers the car by 15mm to 25mm depending on the setting selected.<\/p>\n

And ABT also offers customization for the interior, with a special steering wheel, an upgrade for the armrest and center console, but ABT can also modify the already impressive AUDI RS Q8 seats, all at the customer’s request naturally.<\/p>\n
