The ABT Audi S4 was introduced today by the German tuner featuring discrete exterior modifications and a 102 hp increase over the standard S4 version.
The power boost resulted from a series of engine tweaks and an optimized ECU turn the ABT Audi S4 into a little beast with 435 hp (320 kW) and 520 Nm of torque at its disposal. In terms of performance the ABT Audi S4 is now able to accelerate from 0 to 100 Km/h in 4.6 seconds, which is half a second faster than the standard S4 and can reach a top speed of 282 Km/h. As far as putting power to the ground, the 3.0-litre TFSI engine sends its juice to the rear wheels via a 7-speed DSG gearbox.
For the exterior, the tunner recommends their set of 18 or 20 inch custom light alloy wheels wrapped in sports tyres and the sports exhaust system with 4 tailpipes.
ABT Sportsline press release :
ABT POWER even makes the already quick Audi S4 faster. Although the V6 compressor with three litre cubic capacity is already very sporty with its 333 HP (245kW), anyone who wants even more dynamism and torque can obtain a super sports car with the ABT S4: the decent-elegant car then brings 435 HP or 320 kW onto the road. And the additional 102 horsepower, which are employed in the ABT S4, suit the car extremely well in terms of nutrition: it achieves 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds, while in the series standard this takes 5.1 seconds. A half a second difference is an eternity for high-performance vehicles of this kind. The top speed is 282 km/h – and that is 32 km/h more than the Audi S4. This is because the engine, tuned by ABT Sportsline, is, of course, supplied without a V-max limit.
The torque of the engine optimised in Allgäu also appears to be as strong as an ox: instead of 440 Nm now 520 Nm are available – an increase of around 19 percent. As a result the 3.0 TFSI gets to work powerfully in any situation. The extra performance brings additional driving enjoyment and shows its superiority in practically all seven gears of the DSG gearbox. The consumption – and thereby the environmental pollution – is, however, no greater than with the series engine. On the other hand
the driving-dynamic difference is revealed on main roads and motorways, as because the ABT S4 does everything even better, it is sportier. Capable of a powerful acceleration to top speed, the six cylinders now get to business. The Allgäu tuner recommends the 4-pipe sports exhaust unit and the ABT AR or BR wheels as fitting supplements to the power image of the car. The smart “round pieces” are available in sizes from 18 to 20 inches and can be supplied with fitting sports tyres.
