ABT Sportsline sold out all 50 of its ABT RS4+ models. The German tuning company is providing a limited-run of 50 ABT RS5-R Sportback models that have some aerodynamics, and excitement to those who have missed buying.
As told by CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt, the imperative features in the Sportback are a complete aerodynamics package and a power boost. The 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 engine has a new ABT Engine Control Unit (AEC), ABT auxiliary water cooler kit, ABT exhaust system, and ABT air intake trim. Post-enhancements, the ABT RS5-R Sportback produces 530 horsepower and 502 lb-ft. of torque.
However, ABT Sportsline RS5-R Sportback isn’t about power only. It has new height-adjustable suspension springs that are paired with front and rear ABT Sport stabilizers to improve handling. It has a set of new ABT Sport GR alloy wheels that measure 21 x 10.0 at the front and rear axles.
The ABT RS5-R Sportback gets a bolder look with a carbon fiber aerodynamic kit. The front fascia is changed with a new lip, flics, and a new grille with RS5-R logo to offer the four-door coupe a bold road presence. Towards each front fender is optional wheel arch vents along with carbon fiber fins to showcase the mass under the hood. At the rear, a new rear spoiler and rear skirt have been fitted with the latter neatly integrating the four-pipe 102 mm carbon-trimmed exhaust system.
Inside, riders are greeted by new ABT door entry sill trim strips and ABT integrated entrance lights that showcase the RS5-R logo. Partial leather seats are beautified with the RS5-R logo while the ‘ABT RS5-R 1 of 50’ badge is proudly showcased on the dashboard. There is a new carbon fiber gear shift cover as well.
