ABT Reveals Audi SQ8 TDI With 510hp

Searching for a diesel luxury crossover with high power to compete with the top petrol competitors? ABT has covered with its new release, as per the Audi SQ8 TDI. Power and cosmetic tweaks are the two important order of the day with this chain of upgrades!

We test drove the Audi SQ8 TDI earlier this year. It has a 4.0-liter V8 engine generating 435 hp and 900 Nm of torque, which is more than enough for most people. But yes not for a customer of ABT. The German VAG specialists have come up with a new engine control unit which considers extra 75 hp over the standard model. The SQ8 TDI generates 510 hp now and sheds 0.2 seconds off the sprint time to touch 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.

ABT looks after other components as well. ABT level control module adds value to the suspension by allowing the SUV to place up to 65 mm lower in multiple stages. To make the driver energized, ABT has even named the top setting ‘Coffee’ mode.

The most striking feature of these builds is the body kit. The SQ8 is no different. It uses front and rear skirt add ons along with a new rear spoiler and a group of quad tailpipes. To complete the appearance, a group of 22 or 23-inch rims are there in the market.
