Need more power for your Audi SQ2? One of the tuners
to go to is ABT Sportsline, which has added Ingolstadt’s sporty SUV to its
portfolio. As usual, the German tuning house has replaced the stock engine
control unit with their own. The software optimization has squeezed out an
extra 50 PS and 40 Nm of torque from the 2.0-liter
turbo four that, out of the factory, deliver 300 PS and 400
Nm of torque.
With 350 PS and 440 Nm, the tuned SQ2 has become as powerful as the Porsche 718 Boxster S. It’s
not as quick, though, but
ABT has managed to shave a couple of tenths of a second from the 0-100 km/h, which now takes 4.6 seconds. The speed limiter has also been
removed, so the SQ2 can max out at 262 km/h, or 12 km/h more
than before.
The stance of the SQ2 has been enhanced with the
addition of new wheels. ABT has a generous range of rims in its offering, in 19
and 20 inces, from its DR, ER-C, FR and GR series. Depending on the selection,
they can be had in mystic black with diamond-machined lip, like the example
pictured in the gallery right below, and they come with a wheel-spacer kit as
well.
