The new generation Audi A5/S5 Sportback is, by all
means, an attractive ride, yet ABT Sportsline believes that it needs some
visual work and additional power to reach its full potential.
This is exactly why they took the S5 variant of the
car and fitted it with the ABT Engine Control, which, along with other
technical upgrades, allows the 3.0-liter V6 engine to feed 425 PS and
550 Nm of torque, to the wheels.
The extra 66 PS and 50 Nm of torque sounds familiar, because the tuner has already applied the
same updates to the S5 Coupe and S5 Cabrio as well.
Among the visual work applied by ABT to the Audi S5
Sportback you'll find the front spoiler with air splitter, distinctive diffuser
design, and chrome tailpipes, in addition to a selection of wheels in various
patterns and colors, 19- and 20-inch in size.
The same updates have been equipped to the S5
Cabriolet as well, with the only difference being the black-finished tailpipes.
Owners of the regular Audi A5 models haven’t been
forgotten by the tuner either, as their engine control unit can also be fitted
to the 2.0 TFSI engine, raising its output from 252 PS to 330 PS,
and to the 2.0 TDI where it adds an additional 25 PS to the stock 190 PS. The two versions of the 3.0-liter TDI diesel now make 250 PS and 325 PS, from the standard 218 PS and 272 PS,
respectively.
