Abt AS5 – tuned up Audi A5

Abt Sportsline says it found kitting up the Audi A5 a real challenge as the car was already uniquely beautiful to begin with. You’re looking at the result here in this post – a bodykit and a quad-tailpipe rear muffler.

Forget about it’s looks – what’s important is under it’s hood. Audi’s 3.0 litre TDI turbodiesel has been tuned up from 240 horsepower to 272 horsepower via an engine management upgrade, and there is an option for an upgraded Abt turbocharger to boost power up to 300 horses.

    It has very well resolved looks. Not too sure about the two tone paint job. Also not too keen on diesels.

    Turbodiesel powerplant's gotta be great for sure, but Abt sure messed up the beautiful looks of the A5.

    It isn't so much the body kit, more the paint job that's ruining the looks.
