Default Audi R8 V10 gets tuned up by ABT

From AB




ABT Sportsline 2013 – Press release CW20
The new ABT R8 V10 – elegant sportiness all over

It is the first Audi mid-engine sports car that has found its way from
the race track to the road, as it were. And for ABT Sportsline this
dream car also is a real success. The globally leading tuner of cars
produced by the Volkswagen Group uses ABT POWER and extravagant and
stylish elements to underscore the normal Audi R8 portfolio's dynamism
and sportiness in a consistent fashion (The ABT R8 GTR as a special
edition is the tuned top model).

The ABT R8 V10 is an extreme athlete with a lot of motor sport
experience. The 5.2 FSI engine (serial 525 hp / 386 kW) has been
"ABT POWERed" and now shows 600 PS / 441 kW; torque now
being 550 Nm. It only takes 3.5 seconds to go from naught to 100 kph,
and it goes without saying that a top speed of 320 kph is no problem
at all. To make the super sportsman roadworthy, the uprating is
complemented by ABT suspension springs that make for an adequate
lowering and an even better road behaviour. For the V8 version, ABT
also has coilovers. The Bavarian specialists see to a perfect
roadholding, even at the limit.

"The athletic sportiness cannot only be felt: this power and
dynamism are also reflected in the car's looks," says Hans-Jürgen
Abt, the Bavarian tuning company's CEO. ABT Sportsline has developed
style elements for the R8 that are mostly made of clearly visible
carbon. Weight reduction was as important here as was a striking
appearance. Front skirt and grille make the two-seater's front appear
even more energetic. The also specially developed side skirts
underscore the car' sporty character and at the rear end a wing and
rear skirt leave the right impression. This is a successful interplay
that also makes for an ideal weight reduction. This R8 has a
weight-optimised exhaust system made of stainless steel. And finally
it's the sport-type wheels in 9 and 11 x 19 inches made by ABT
Sportsline with tires in 235/35 and 305/30 R19 that "make the
world go round": these wheels are perfect, whether it's the CR or
the brand new, forged and very light-weight ER-F.

The ABT R8 is consistently sporty and powerful, assertive and
superior, down to the last detail. That's how winners look... and
drive, and that's what ABT Sportsline, the traditional tuning company,
stands for.
