The SQ8 was introduced in 2019 as a TDI. Since last year, the powerful all-rounder cruises with a 4-litre V8 bi-turbo petrol engine under the hood. The series model of this spacious SUV delivers a hefty 507 HP (373 kW) with a maximum torque of 770&nbsp;Nm. The SQ8 achieves 0-100 km\/h in just 4.1 seconds, almost as fast as its brother, the RSQ8, which boasts 600 HP. If the engineers at ABT Sportsline are commissioned to give the \u201clittle\u201d brother SQ8 a performance upgrade*, it trumps its sibling in the HP stakes by 50 HP (37 kW). Thanks to the high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control, the TFSI engine delivers a sensational 650 HP (478 kW) and 850 Nm of torque! It now hits 100 km\/h in an extremely rapid 3.8 seconds, with acceleration to match its big brother, the RSQ8 exactly. With its listed maximum speed of 250 km\/h, the latter must admit defeat to the ABT SQ8, whose power in this category delivers 270 km\/h and more than outdoes the competition.<\/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\/06\/ABT_SQ8_black_HR23_05-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ABT_SQ8_black_HR23_05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ABT_SQ8_black_HR23_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ABT_SQ8_black_HR23_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eurotuningnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ABT_SQ8_black_HR23_05.jpg 1417w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this performance statement, the world\u2019s largest automotive aftermarket and performance parts specialist for Audi and VW also offers a selection of visual enhancements for the SQ8.
