German tuning firm Abt have developed a range of performance
and aerodynamic products for the Audi R8 V10.
The engine upgrades take the power output up to a massive 600
horsepower. This improvement is gained through the use of a
reprogrammed ECU. Power goes up from 525 hp to 600 hp, while
torque increases from 530 Nm @ 6,500 rpm to 550 Nm @ 6,400 rpm.
Despite the performance enhancements the CO2 emissions remain
unchanged.
The aerodynamic package for the Abt R8 V10 includes a new front
lip spoiler formed from carbon fibre, a new front grille, a
carbon fibre rear bumper, carbon fibre sideskirts, and a larger
rear wing.
Abt Press release for the R8 V10:
The fact that the medium-engine super sports car becomes a winner
on any track is not just due to its excellent performance characteristics,
but also the perfectly coordinated bodywork package. It has
been designed by the DTM crew of ABT Sportsline according to
the latest motorsport knowledge, including the use of high-end
carbon materials. The focus was above all on the optimum distribution
of weight and a systematic lightweight construction. "The
600 HP is not just intended to exist on paper, but also be available
on the road", says Christian Abt. At the same time
the ABT R8 thereby looks extremely dynamic. The front spoiler,
side sills and rear apron outline the bodywork and give it a
more powerful presence even when at a standstill. They form
one unit with the distinctive rear wing and the typical ABT
4-pipe exhaust system.
The super sports car is presented on BR-type 20-inch wheels
which suit the classic design. The ABT R8 5.2 FSI is a design
milestone and is of course very, very fast. This is because
the 600 ABT horsepower contain, what the dynamic design of the
car promises.
