The new ABT Sportsline RS4-R Flexes its 530-HP Muscles in Geneva

All the car firms and aftermarket tuners in Europe showcase their stuff at the Geneva International Motor Show. Here, the latest and greatest is kept for showcase in front of the media, consumers, and enthusiasts. The 2018 show will be the same as usual, and ABT Sportsline is coming with its new ABT RS4-R just for the occasion.

Based on the newest-iteration of the Audi RS4 Avant, the new ABT RS4-R comes packing a sturdy amount of power. Just like its RS 5 sibling, the twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V-6 engine in the RS4 was provided with a new ABT Engine Control (AEC) and a high-performance exhaust system with quad 102-mm tailpipes finished in carbon. Those upgrades offer the ABT RS4-R with a 530 horsepower and 509 lb-ft. of torque – 20 horsepower greater than the top-of-the-line previous-generation ABT RS4 model.

ABT Sportsline also enhanced the performance of the Audi RS4 with some new chassis goodies. New 21-inch ABT Sport GT wheels make weight too lighter despite their 2.0-inch larger in diameter over the factory wheels. The lightweight alloys wear sticky 275/25 ZR21 sport tires and work with new ABT Sport Stabilizers and ABT height-adjustable suspension springs to give a shaper handling dynamic. The ABT RS4-R will also be available with an optional ABT Shock Absorber Setup that is currently being made alongside KW Automotive for a perfect balance of athleticism and comfort.

The ABT RS4-R also appears the part of the sporty wagon as well. The German company has installed a new front lip, flics on each side of the front bumper, a new front grille with RS4-R logo, and a new rear skirt add-on that sets up the new quad exhaust system.

Inside, customers can have a good experience with a range of sporty upgrades. The ABT RS4-R can be equipped with a new carbon gearshift cover, floor mats, and more along with a partial-leather upholstery featuring ‘RS4-R’ logos on the seats. Customers can modify their interiors to match any kind of exotic tastes if they so pick.

The new ABT RS4-R will be displayed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in Avant form. All of the upgraded features are currently available as individual accessories or as a complete package.
