With the all-new 2026 Audi RS 5 range barely out of the spotlight, tuners are already imagining it with upgrades around the battery or under the hood. One of them is MTM, which has pointed to a major output bump for the new RS 5 family. Big number, simple idea: more power than stock. And a lot more. As you...
Built atop the standard A5 range, the high-performance S5 Avant from Audi is an incredibly powerful piece of German engineering, with sheer power and extraordinary aerodynamics. However, ABT saw the potential of this ride and added some extra juice. The tuner builds on what is there, tightening certain areas, pushing others further, and leaving some parameters untouched. This is not...
Audi’s RS Q8 has already earned a reputation as one of the more serious high-performance SUVs on the market, but ABT has decided that serious is not quite enough. Therefore, the result is another extraordinary tuning interpretation that builds on the existing formula with both visual and power upgrades. We all know that both the Q7 and the Q8 from...
It is raining with Legacy Editions from ABT when it comes to the famous RS6 and RS7 exquisite cars. We have recently talked about the RS7 receiving 760 horsepower; however, the tuner decided that this was not enough and added some "extra" juice in it: 1,000 HP; can you believe that? Details below. ABT calls it the 1000 HP program,...
The RS6 Legacy Edition is presented as a tribute to the V8, and ABT makes it clear from the outset that this is tied to the closing chapter of the V8 era. Limited to 200 vehicles and marked accordingly as “1 of 200,” the RS6-LE positions itself as a high-performance sports car derived from the RS6 platform, but developed further...
There are limited editions, and then there are statements. The ABT RS7-LE clearly falls into the second category. Limited to 200 vehicles and marked accordingly with “1 of 200” badges, this Legacy Edition builds on the already potent RS7 and pushes it further in power, presence, and detail. Exterior Carbon defines the outside. The most noticeable piece is the carbon...
ABT has quietly expanded its suspension portfolio with a system that aims to smooth out the usual compromises between comfort and control. Tested at the Nürburgring and fully homologated for road use, ABT Body Control brings together multiple technologies into a single, coordinated setup designed to react continuously to real driving conditions rather than fixed presets. Specifications At the heart...
At a glance, the Audi R8 ABT XGT looks like something that escaped a pit lane rather than a showroom. That impression isn’t accidental. Developed by ABT Sportsline, the XGT takes the R8 platform and reshapes it into what is openly described as a race car adapted for public roads, rather than the other way around. Exterior Visually, the ABT...
Even in standard form, the Audi SQ5 already sits comfortably among the top performers in its segment, it doesn’t really need help to make a strong impression. And yet, ABT Sportsline steps in anyway, doing what it has done for decades—taking something solid and pushing it a bit further. Maybe not radically. Just enough to be noticed. At the center...
I've seen plenty of tuned Audi RS6 builds over the years, but every now and then one shows up that forces you to slow down and actually read the numbers twice. This one does exactly that. Built by MTM and dubbed the Pangaea GT, this RS6 is aimed squarely at people who think the factory car’s output is merely a...
This is definitely one of the record-breakers we were waiting for this year, literally wrecking the quarter-mile without any hesitation, the car itself out of the factory being one of the fastest of its kind, not taking in account that this one is also heavily modified and tuned by all means to break records on the track and everywhere it...
This new Audi R8 is going to be the better version of the 2018 RWS Audi R8 which was sold in a small amount, fact that made getting one pretty hard. They are giving us another chance at getting one next year with this new model. Quattro all-wheel-drive is also a signature of the Audi brand however it doesn't mean...
This is literally the definition of a street-legal track car, doing 0 to 60 in about 2 seconds and a quarter mile in mere 9 seconds without any hesitation. When talking regarding first-gen Audi R8s with a turbocharged heart, in most cases Underground racing springs to mind, however now around the conversion comes from the DuPont registry. Actually, Chicago-based Speedriven...
