The enormous power is mainly reflected in its phenomenal acceleration: 0-100 km\/h is now achieved in just 3.4 seconds rather than 3.8 seconds. The customer vehicle, painted in San Marino Blue metallic, is one of only 125 vehicles from a special series that has been launched for the anniversary. The aero package features carbon-fibre elements and is a rolling flagship for the skills of the design department at ABT Sportsline. It combines front skirt add-ons, front lip with add-on and mirror caps, side skirts, wheelhouse ventilation, fender extensions, a rear skirt add-on and a rear spoiler. The 23-inch High Performance GR wheels \u2013 tyre size 295\/35 R23 \u2013 were completely painted in glossy black as an additional special feature by ABT Individual. These wheels usually always feature silver accents in the form of a diamond-machined finish. This example shows that ABT has an open ear for special requests, even for limited series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ABT_RSQ8-R_marino_blue_GR23_2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ABT_RSQ8-R_marino_blue_GR23_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ABT_RSQ8-R_marino_blue_GR23_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ABT_RSQ8-R_marino_blue_GR23_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ABT_RSQ8-R_marino_blue_GR23_2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ABT_RSQ8-R_marino_blue_GR23_2.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, almost all customers will be utterly satisfied with the performance. The 600 HP (441&nbsp;kW) and 800 Nm production vehicle set a record for SUVs on the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife at the end of 2019. This can easily be topped by the exclusive special model with its 140 &#8220;extra horses&#8221; (103 kW). The high-tech ABT Engine Control* unit works in conjunction with a specially designed intercooler to provide maximum power and durability. The vehicle tuner, founded in 1896 as a forge in Kempten, Bavaria, also offers an optional top-speed increase to 315 km\/h. For more lateral dynamics, the experts have made the complex air suspension even more sporty with the ABT Level Control (ALC). In comfort level, it is lowered by 25 mm; in dynamic level by 15 mm. The ABT exhaust system is made from stainless steel and its four 102 mm endpipe covers provide the right sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior can perfectly keep up with this brilliant impression. The ABT steering wheel upgrade, armrest and refined center console as well as the ABT seat refinement are just a few of the details. \u201cWe have really pulled out all the stops on this anniversary vehicle,\u201d says CEO Hans-J\u00fcrgen Abt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*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.
