ABT Audi AS7 Puts Out 520 HP

German tuner ABT Sportsline has taken to converting the Audi S7 Sportback with the end result being a vehicle which they say will feel like a sportscar.

To back up this claim, ABT has released a new power upgrade for the car which gives it an additional 100 HP, which means the ABT AS7 as they like to call it now packs 520 HP (382 kW). The V8 lump under the bonnet puts out no less than 520 hp and 650 Nm of torque. This gives it a very meaty feel and a new top speed of 290 km/h.

“You should be able to feel that you are actually sitting in a ‘sports car’ all the time. But the car also has to be comfortable and suitable for everyday use.“ It goes without saying that the “AS” in ABT AS7 stands for “astonishingly sporty,” said Hans-Jurgen Abt, CEO of ABT Sportsline.

“Our AS7 is powerful, torquey, but also easily controllable,” Jurgen added.

A full body kit has also been made available, comprising of front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a set of quad tail pipes that are integrated into the lower valance. As for the wheels, ABT offers the A7 with 20 and 21-inch ones.
