ABT QS7 Gets Interior Crafted by Elves, Is not the SQ7

To our untrained ears, the soundtrack sounds just like the elf themes from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And we think that's intentional, considering the German lady sewing leather for the seats looks like Liv Tyler or Tauriel from the Hobbit. Tuning cosplay anyone?

That's a nifty-looking workshop you've got there, ABT. We also enjoyed having a second look at the carbon fiber seat bases. We still can't tell if they are fake or not, but the Q7 interior came out looking like a million euros.

As we've said already, the SQ7 and QS7 are not the same things, although we've kind of gotten them mixed up now. The official car from Audi is called the SQ7, and it has a massive 4.0-liter twin-turbo diesel engine. Meanwhile, the QS7 is a tuning project from the company we just mentioned, and it features a 3-liter... of some kind.

There are several versions available, ranging from a 218 PS base diesel to a 333 PS supercharged gasoline unit. For that TFSI, ABT says it can offer an extra 77 PS for a grand total of 410. In the diesel department, the single-turbo 3.0 TDI goes up from 272 to 325 PS using chip tuning technology.

Honestly, we love the ABT interior for the Q7 far better than the exterior, so the elf lady craftsman has done a great job.

The Q7 was never a beautiful SUV, but this one looks like a bearded dwarf woman. It's got horns and pointy edges everywhere, plus a lowered suspension that makes no sense for an SUV. Riding on massive 5-double-spoke wheels from ABT, the QS7 looks like a bulbous wagon.
