Did you expect a family car to get into the hands of the famous German Tuner? Neither did we, but here we are looking at the modified Audi A6 Allroad that has been Tuned by ABT with a brand-new engine management software, the gain being strictly in the software area, nothing being really modified inside the engine or exhaust system but some interior tiny details.
ABT has been pretty busy recently performing on virtually every model series from Audi – nearly everything with 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 within the name and either an A or a Q at the front. The sole piece of the puzzle that was missing was the Allroad suffix however this can be now fixed with the new Audi A6 Allroad by ABT.
The tuning firm set to figure on the most powerful gasoline and diesel variants of the rugged wagon. Beginning with the 55 TFSI with a 3.0-liter turbo V6 underneath the hood, ABT enhanced the power from the stock 340 H.P. (250 kilowatts) to a formidable 408 H.P. (300 kW). The boost comes courtesy of a brand new engine management software and no hardware upgrades.
Moving to the diesel-powered models, the most powerful 55 TDI with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 currently generates 384 H.P. (282 kW) rather than the factory 349 hp (257 kW). The torque goes up from 516 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) to 560 lb-ft (760 Nm) that could be a pretty spectacular figure for a practical family wagon.
The 50 TDI additionally benefits from a brand new engine software, which supplies it an additional 44 H.P. (33 kW) and 37 lb-ft (50 Nm) of twist. And if your compression ignition engine doesn’t produce the sound you were hoping for, ABT’s Sounds control system should fix that if it’s generally attainable.
In addition to the engine upgrades, ABT will provide its customers a choice of 2 new wheelsets – the FR in either 20- or 21-inch size, or the GR 20 inches. There also are tiny interior upgrades, including a brand new engine start-stop button and shift knob cover, each with carbon fiber finish.
If you’re still lacking that final individual bit, the tuners can happily sell you integrated entrance lights, that “casually project the ABT emblem onto the ground once entering or exiting the vehicle.”
