ABT AS5-R Tuned Audi S5 Prepared for Geneva

ABT Sportline recently announced it will display the new AS5-R at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with details expected to arrive next month before the start of the show. However, we do know that the ABT Audi S5-based will produce a maximum power of 510 hp (375 kW) compared to 344 hp on the base model. “Unfortunately the car also shows the disadvantage of a trade fair, as the AS5-R has to stay stationary,” ABT Sportline said in a statement for the press.

Besides the AS5-R, ABT will also display several other goodies at the show, with a customized Q5 expected to catch the attention of people attending the event.

“On a surface of 153m2 and a light, elegant stand, the following stars from Kempten are also on view, alongside the AS5-R: the ABT Q5 is a car which cuts a good figure everywhere. The abbreviation “SUV” traditionally stands for “Sportlich Und Vielseitig [sporty and diverse]” at ABT and especially applies to the Q5,” the company said about one of the models to be showcased at the show.

In addition, ABT will also present its own version of R8, an upgraded model that will incorporate exterior, interior and engineering modifications but no specific details are available at this point.

“The ABT R8 is a real sports car, offering pure dynamics. It is not just the power which is right, but all of the aerodynamics have also been perfectly designed by the motorsport team of ABT for use in extreme conditions. Nevertheless, the ABT R8 also looks breathtakingly beautiful. Another real eye-catcher is the ABT Scirocco, a landmark amongst compact Coupes,” the VW Group-tuner added in a statement for the press.
