ABT revealed its own take on the Audi R8, for those
who can't live with the factory looks of the German supercar.
ABT's
package adds new bumpers on both ends, along with carbon fiber front lip,
front, side and rear blades, and mirror covers. Coming to complete its look are
the forged 19-inch ABT High Performance ER-F wheels, finished 'black magic', or
larger 20-inch GR, in 'anodized black'.
ABT Individual also gave the interior a few upgrades
with leather and carbon trim, in addition to a set of special floor mats, and
'ABT' entrance lighting that greets whoever opens its doors.
The tuner claims to have shed 50 kg from its weight, while adding
20 PS to the sonorous 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine, bringing
its total output to 630 PS. The power boost comes from the optimized
airflow and a new stainless steel exhaust system, with carbon double tailpipe
trims. A new coilover suspension, springs and sports stabilizers on both axles,
promise to improve handling.
The ABT tuned Audi R8 will have its world premiere
at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, where it will share the same space
with the TT RS-R, RS6+, SQ7, and a Formula E racer.
