German tuner ABT Sportsline is working on what it calls the ABT RSQ8-R, a custom rendition of the Audi Q8 SUV and ‘the first of its kind’.

In late January, ABT has released a power kit for the RS Q8, bringing its output to 700 hp and 880 Nm of torque. As such, it would be logical to expect an extension of that kit, complete with an aerodynamic package and other premium options. In the short video teaser, you can see a carbon fiber radiator grille and ABT’s signature forged wheels, as well as hear a different exhaust soundtrack.


The tuner’s social media pages tell us that the SUV is ‘an exception to the rule,’ and that the premiere is expected in June 2020.
