The fourth generation of the Audi RS 6 recently came onto the market. Now, with the help of a performance upgrade from ABT Sportsline, you can further enhance the already enormous power of the Avant. But first things first: Since the “Big Bang” in 2002, when the first Audi RS 6 saw the light of day, a great deal has happened, particularly in the field of driving dynamics. So, the latest edition with mild hybrid system is not only driven by a 4.0-litre V8 TFSI boasting 600 hp (441 kW) and 800 Nm, but it can also perfectly conceal its weight. The abundance of high-tech in the chassis area makes it possible: such as the mechanical centre differential, or the optional rear axle sports differential together with all-wheel steering. CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt was convinced from the outset: “This provides an exemplary platform with all of the prerequisites for an ABT Power Performance Upgrade”.*
Therefore, the world’s largest tuner of Audi and VW vehicles developed a bespoke software system and utilised its high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control (AEC). The new, spectacular benchmark specification figures are 700 hp (515 kW) and 880 Nm, which, of course, are also reflected in the acceleration: Compared to the standard version, the sprint time from 0 to 100 km/h is reduced from 3.6 to 3.3 seconds. The ABT Performance Upgrade comes with TÜV certification, comprehensive guarantees and a whole host of engine protection measures to provide you with remorse-free driving pleasure. Since the ABT Sportsline range is constantly expanding, the ABT Configurator keeps you right up-to-date regarding new products for the RS 6. Of particular interest are the new alloy wheels currently under development which will soon be available in a range of models.
*The engine performance data is in accordance with the stipulations of EWG/80/1269. The process and dynamometer manufacturer have been certified and authorised by the vehicle manufacturer.
What began with the solitary Audi RS2 in 1994, and led to the first official RS 4 in 1999, has now become an entire RS family. Its youngest members include the freshly updated Audi RS 4 and the latest versions of the RS 6 and RS 7, as well as the unprecedented RS Q8. Although the stated models have only just come onto the market, appealing ABT Power Performance Upgrades* are already available for all four, and are supplied together with TÜV certification and comprehensive guarantees. In addition, a selection of aluminium wheels is available from ABT Sportsline. For additional interior options, aerodynamic components, suspension and other extras that will be available later, please consult the daily updated ABT Configurator. “I look forward to every new RS model, because the series undoubtedly represents the sporty pinnacle of the Audi range”, says CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt: “As such, I am excited to find out how much higher we can raise the bar”.
The most compact exponent of the quartet is the RS 4, the only model equipped with a 2.9-litre V6 engine. With 450 hp (331 kW) and 600 Nm, the power of the production car is more than just impressive. However, through the use of the high-tech ABT Engine Control (AEC) unit, significant increases can be achieved. A hefty 510 hp (375 kW) and a maximum torque of 660 Nm deliver real power.
Nevertheless, the Audi RS 6, RS 7 and RS Q8 already pack quite a punch from the factory: A 4.0-litre V8 TFSI with 600 hp (441 kW) and 800 Nm lies in wait in their engine compartments. Even so, with the ABT Power Performance Upgrade including AEC, driving pleasure is dramatically increased to another level. The upgraded specifications for the sprightly trio are now 700 hp (515 kW) and 880 Nm. This is more than double the 315 hp (232 kW) of the legendary RS2, which founded the tradition of the sporty top models from Audi in the early 1990s. Of course, Hans-Jürgen Abt had one at the time – naturally also with a performance upgrade that put 360 hp (265 kW) on its data sheet.
*The declaration of the engine power according to the requirements of EWG/80/1269. The proceeding and the manufacturer of the test bench have been verified and approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
The latest evolution into model T6.1 has made the VW Bulli even more desirable. No other large van evokes such an emotional response as the legendary Volkswagen that can be driven almost as casually as a car and is at least as cool as a trendy SUV. The ABT’s newprogramme for the T6.1 follows on seamlessly from the sales success of the T5 and T6 components. It all starts, of course, with the ABT Power performance upgrades that provide even greater driving pleasure due to the standard electromechanical steering of the latest Bulli.
The power boost based on the specially adapted high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control (AEC) is now available for the mid-range 2.0 TDI. This provides an increase from 150 hp (110 kW) and 340 Nm to 180 hp (132 kW) and an impressive 400 Nm. A performance upgrade for the top model with a standard 199 hp (146 kW) is currently under development. From the start of March 2020, amazing 226 hp (166 kW) and 490 Nm instead of 450 Nm will be available. The perfect partner to the newly gained additional power is the BILSTEIN Height Adjustable Suspension Kit from ABT Sportsline. This option was a popular order for the previous models and lends the bulky VW T6.1 an unexpected light-footedness and precision. The body can be lowered according to your personal set-up and aesthetic preferences between 40 and 70 mm. ABT suspension springs are under development and will be available in a few weeks.
With its narrower headlamps and large grille, the new VW bus exudes even more premium character than its predecessors. Attractive ABT Alloy Wheels add extra sports appeal. Here, customers can choose between the ABT DR in 8.5 x 19 inches – mystic black – or the ABT GR in 9.0 x 20 inches. The latter can be ordered either in matt black with diamond machined finish or glossy black with diamond machined rim flange. You want more?
