ABT reveals the 510HP AS5-R Audi S5 Coupe

Ingolstadt’s favorite tuner; ABT has revealed its latest “four-ring” project. Based on the sexy Audi S5 coupe, the tuner has performed a number of improvements on the S5 including upgrades on the engine management system and the addition of an ABT compressor which help increase engine power output by 156HP, to a grand total of 510HP.

Called the AS5-R, the V8-powered coupe is also treated to a high performance braking system with 380 millimeter disc diameter, an ABT Coil-over suspension system and a set of 20-inch 5-spoke BR alloy wheels.

On the outside, it features a spoiler that accentuates the ABT grill as well as inner fender skirts and gill-shaped air inlets. At the rear end, the tuner has fitted a distinctive ABT rear skirt and a 4-pipe rear muffler.

Overall, the AS5-R reaches the 100 km/h mark in 4.5 seconds and will go on to reach a top speed of 292 km/h. Although with a power output of slightly more than half a thousand, the German tuning specialist also mentioned that the up-rated S5 maintains a fuel consumption figure that is almost similar with the stock Audi S5. All looks good for the AS5-R, but I think I will stick to a one-colour body finish.

    i think the paintjob is nice and very simple. cant seem to understand why the word awkward is used by some of you.

    and i dont mind the rims as well.. its a german thing.. even ACS has designs that are somewhat similar in theme.

    510 bhp… now it exceed California 454bhp, V8 4.3 litre NA.. but not in acceleration & top speed… Paul, what's AS5-5 kerb weight? if not mistakan, the Ferrari is much heavier than the 'normal' Audi S5 coupe kerb weight, right?
