The new generation Audi RS4 Avant has fallen into
the hands of ABT Sportsline once more, only to come out even hotter than
before.
By fitting the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with
an engine control unit, and a high-performance exhaust system, the tuner’s
engineers were able to lift the output to 530 PS and 690 Nm of
torque.
This represents a 20 PS and 10 Nm of
torque increase over their previous RS4 project, and 80 PS and 90 Nm of torque more than the stock car. Cornering performance is said to
be enhanced by the sport stabilizers and height adjustable suspension springs.
Those looking for a bit more will have to wait for the ‘shock absorber setup’,
which is currently in development with KW.
Alongside the 102 mm carbon tailpipes, the super
wagon also has a host of visual updates on the outside, such as the tweaked
grille, bumpers, and rear diffuser. As a final touch, the Audi RS4 Avant rides
on 21-inch wheels, shod in 275/25 rubber.
More carbon fiber was added inside too, where the
part-leather seats can also be found, in addition to other upgrades. ABT has baptized their latest project the RS4-R, and
they will bring it at the Geneva Motor Show, probably alongside other tuned
vehicles.
