ABT Audi Q5: New Bodykit and Tuning Packages with up to 310HP
German tuning house ABT Sportsline has released details on its new sport package for the Audi Q5 compact SUV that will be available for order within the first months of 2009. The latest member to join the ABT family gets a new bodykit that makes it look brawnier than its original counterpart mainly due to the fender extensions and the aggressively styled front skirt and grille. The range of aero parts also includes side skirts, a roof spoiler and a rear skirt that incorporates the 4-pipe-rear muffler. The new 20-inch alloy wheels complete the Q5’s looks. -ContinuedUnderneath the skin, ABT offers a range of power upgrades with the base 2.0 TFSI gasoline engine delivering 240 HP instead of 211 HP and the 2.0 TDI turbo diesel unit, 190 HP from 140 HP. As for the 3.0 TDI turbo diesel engine that develops 240 HP in standard form, ABT offers two power kits boosting output to 287 HP and 310 HP.
Handling improvements include a new set of 380mm diameter brake discs, sport springs that bring the Q5 closer to the ground and the ABT Level Control, an electronic lowering for the CDC air suspension (Continous Damping Control). (Opening image edited by Carscoop)
