ABT has got its paws on the new Audi RS Q8 to take things to a Urus thrashing level.
Browsing: Tuning
The Audi R8 is no slouch in stock factory form with 611 hp (456 kW) but what if you want to demolish everything at the drag strip?
The tuner also tweaked the dual-clutch transmission to handle the substantial increase in power.
The bodywork extensions at both ends of the build are the most obvious throwbacks to the original and give it a proper race car look.
Adding to the overall wide and menacing presence is a set of matte black 23-inch alloys.
The package is produced in Europe where every part of the MD1 bodykit is built in ultra-light, high-end carbon fibre, through state-of-the-art technology.
The mechanicals from the Chevy remain the same but Ares has managed to crank the output of the 6.2-litre V8 up to 705 hp (526 kW) and 970 Nm (715 lb-ft) of torque.
To achieve this, the tuner optimized the turbos, added a new intercooler, intake system, exhaust, ECU tune, PDK tune, and more robust clutches in the PDK.
No pricing has been revealed at this stage but considering the several added elements here, you can expect the price tag to not come cheap.
Production will be limited to 100 units with prices starting from £109,950 (approx. R2.5 million).
