ABT Sportsline has been on a roll these
past few weeks, with different projects boasting revised looks and more muscle.
Their latest creation is a tuned version of the 2020 Audi RS4 Avant, which
follows a familiar trend. The biggest upgrade takes on the 2.9-liter twin-turbo
V6 that kicks out 450 PS and 600 Nm of torque,
injecting it with 530 PS and 680 Nm. A 510 PS and 660 Nm boost in power is also available.
Unfortunately, the tuner did not say how
quick the super estate is with the extra oomph, but it probably shaves one or
two tenths of a second over the stock model. The latter takes 4.1 seconds to
sprint from rest to 100 km/h, and will continue accelerating up to
an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h, or 280 km/h when fitted with the optional Dynamic Package.
Power boost aside, the tuned RS4 Avant
welcomes the addition of a few suspension upgrades, such as the complete kit or
springs, both of them with height adjustment, and anti-roll bars, as well as a
cancellation kit for the electronic damping. With these parts in place, it
still has room for the big 21-inch wheels, part of the GR series, available in
glossy or matte black.
Should 21 inches seem a bit of a hassle, then perhaps
the 20-inch DR and FR alternatives, finished in mystic black, are more
suitable. All of them fill the wheel arches quite nicely and blend in with the
sporty looks of the model.
