ABT Sportsline’s
virtual shelves that have grown to include new upgrades for the 2019 Audi A6.
Suiting both the Sedan and Avant versions of the executive car, they have
discreetly updated the way it looks and have also made it more powerful. We’ll
start with the latter part of the equation, which brings the tuner’s engine
control unit forward, applied to the 3.0-liter, TFSI V6 version of the car. The
result is 419 hp and 549 Nm of torque, up from
335 hp and 500 Nm of torque.
That’s almost on
par with the 2.9-liter, twin-turbo V6 that powers the S6 in the United States,
Asia and Middle East. The unit develops 444 hp and 600 Nm of torque. Europe gets the 3.0-liter, V6
diesel-powered engine rated at 344 hp and 700 Nm of torque.
Visually, ABT’s A6
stands out from the stock models thanks to the added front apron and trim
pieces for the sideward air inlets. It also gets a rear diffuser replacing the
factory skirt insert, which leaves room for the double exhaust pipes with a
black look. As for the new wheels, the tuner’s offering is vast and includes
20- and 21-inch sets, from the DR, ER-C, FR and GR series.
The firm also
wanted to point out that their aftermarket parts come with a 4-year /
100,000-mile (160,934 km) warranty, and installing the aerodynamic upgrades and
wheels won’t void the factory warranty.
