    ABT Shows Off Their New RS5-R Based On Audi RS5 Sportback

    Whenever a new and sporty version of an Audi comes long, it doesn’t take very long for an automotive tuner to get their hands on one. In the case of the mentioned German brand, that tuner is usually one named ABT, and the car they have recently gotten their hands on is the new RS5 Sportback.

    This particular creation is called the RS5-R and most of the noticeable modifications and enhancements have been done on the exterior. Carbon (as always) is the order of the day, as can be seen throughout the exterior. You’ll be getting a lovely carbon finish on the hexagonal front grille, some carbon side canards at the front, a carbon front splitter and rear diffuser and a little carbon lip spoiler at the back of the boot lid.

    In addition to that, ABT has also fettled with the car’s suspension and sport stabilisers on the front and rear axles. On the interior side of things, you’ll find a carbon fibre finish on the gear knob, some ABT badging on the door sills and entrance lights as well as a “1 of 50” badge just to let you know you’re driving something that little bit more special

    Of course, what would an ABT-tuned Audi be without some upgrades to the engine? The RS5-R’s 2.9-litre, twin-turbo V6 now pushes out 503 hp (375 kW) accompanied by 690 Nm of torque. No 0 to 100 km/h times or official top speeds have been announced yet but expect a 100km/h time less than the standard car’s 3.9 seconds. The top speed will probably be close to the 300 km/h mark.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
