ABT Sportsline is bringing a couple of tuned cars to
this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas, which begins today. The first one is the Audi SQ5,
baptized Widebody by the tuning company. The SUV sports an aerodynamic kit
comprising a front skirt, door strip attachments, rear skirt and fender flares.
Additionally, ABT has fitted a new exhaust system
with carbon fiber tailpipes, or black chrome ones in the case of the regular
Q5, while customers can have the rear wing mounted as an option. This
particular car is also wearing Vossen Hybrid Forged HF-3 wheels, with a Tinted
Gloss Black finish, measuring 10.5×22 inches.
The final upgrade for the Audi SQ5 is a power boost
that lifts the output of the stock engine from 349 hp and 500 Nm of torque, to 419 hp and 550 Nm of
torque. Made in just 50 units worldwide, the ABT RS5-R will join the SQ5 at
SEMA, at the Thule booth. It has a Matte Nardo Grey look, features carbon fiber
exterior parts such as the front lip, flics, grille frame, side blades, wheel
arch vents, fins and rear skirt insert.
The upgrades continue with the 102 mm carbon fiber exhaust bezels, ABT’s muffler system that amplifies the soundtrack
of the V6 engine, 21-inch black GR rims, and height adjustable suspension
springs and anti-roll bars, or coilover suspension.
Rounding up the list of modifications is the
ECU-tune, which increases output to 503 PS and 680
Nm of torque, up from the stock 444 hp and 600
Nm.
